So, the Levi's King Ridge Gran Fondo will probably be my first official century (after Fatty's 100 Miles of Nowhere which will have maybe 600 feet of climbing). I was supposed to do the Medio last year but thumb surgery forced me off the bike for the whole summer. This year, I just decided to bite off the whole thing.
I'm not that good of a climber and would like some info to prepare by trying to find similar climbs here in OC.
I know major climbs are King Ridge and Coleman Valley. What are the stats on those climbs? Climbing elevation, avg %n max % etc.
I know there are other climbs as well and would like info on those also.
And if any of you NorCal'ers know of similar climbs on SoCal, especially OC; that would be great as well.
