Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hill Grades in San Francisco Bay Area

With all these threads about hills (which I suck at, too), I was wondering what the incline is of some very popular rides in the San Francisco/Marin area. For instance, what would the grade be of:

1) the hill from the north side of the GG Bridge up to the lookout up top
2) the hill (Panoramic, I think) the goes from Stinson Beach up to the turn off to go to the top of Mount Tam (which killed me today)
3) the short hill that runs along Baker Beach
4) the hill from Muir Beach toward Mill Valley
5) the hill from Sausalito to the GG bridge
6) the hill from Mill Valley (near The Dipsea) up to Panoramic Highway
7) the hill from Land's End in Sea Cliff up to the Legion of Honor Museum

If anyone knows, much appreciated.
