I knew there would be some hills on the route I planned, but didn't know how big they really were. Oops. To add insult to injury I ended up with a flat going up a hill 3-1/2 miles in and my spare tube was the wrong valve type. Felt like a total idiot for not making sure I bought a presta valve tube.
Go try out riding from Ojai out East Ojai Ave. up Ojai Santa Paula Road. I used to teach up there and the mangy old school vans often had trouble getting up it - and doubts were often expressed about brakes while going down it.
