I feel like a bit of a climb. This was the first big climb on the Gran Fondo route and I want to give it another go knowing I can do much better. It's a pretty nice ride out & back once you get out of the city. The actual climb is about 8 miles varying 4 - 8% grade.

Meet up at Santa Fe depot in downtown SD. We will roll about 9:30~9:45 ish. That's the earliest I can get down there unless someone wants to swing through Esco and pick my carless behind up. Any takers?
