84 Guerciotti on the full Mt Diablo

Surprised again at how this bike climbs. 11.01 miles, 3478' of climbing, 5.9% Ave grade. I was thinking it would be 1:22 or so and it was 1:18. Now, descending on those Triomphe brakes was another story. I have never had a forearm workout like that. To the point of being a little unsafe at speed.



Changed the brakes to some Cobaltos that I raced on in 93 and 94.

Great job! What gearing are you using?

52x35, 14-28. Slightly harder than my usual 50x34 11-32.
