I know what you mean. Thoise Briones climbs are long and steep.
I'm in the west South Bay and most of the trails up here are Midpen which discourages eBikes, and that helps. Of course there are still eBikers on all of the trails.
Getting passed by eBikes can be a bummer. I try to be accepting and take some solace in the notion that I might be able to out-ride them. But that's a sort of crummy attitude, because that is all about the ego.
I like them when they are quiet and well maintained, and good looking machines. Some are pretty horrible though.
But the fact is, they are here to stay. I just deal with it.
