That's pretty impressive, I have ridden up similar hills on my single but would or could not on a tandem.
The Calfee felt better, and it feels even better every time we ride it (probably got used to the feel, and am more in-tune with the machine).
This is one that we did last weekend... not psycho steep like Marin St., but much longer and unrelenting.
The Calfee just seemed to climb much more effortlessly on Quimby, which is one of the benchmark hard climbs around here.
It was part of this lovely ride (not our data.. our friend's)
