yeah i definitely enjoyed the views out there, as this was my first time cycling on the peninsula. if it wasn't raining most of the time i would've gotten more pics, but oh well.

that sucks about your hip, get well ASAP! but until then, i'll be sure to post my ride reports here as much as possible. =]

walker pass is the biggest climb on the route, and all the info i can find (including elevation data from the map i clicked, put it at about 750 feet max. also this page says it's 741 feet: link.

but i agree, after about 150 miles on the bike, that climb seemed bigger! it definitely lasts for 3 or so miles, maybe that's what makes it seem so tall.
