With the Tour of California coming through here on the 13th I thought i would try out the long climb they will be doing up Tepsuquet rd it's almost 10 miles from the bottom to the top at a 3% avg. grade and 2,000 ft. took me about a hour to ride out to it, then I climbed it in 1 hour and 22 min which i'm sure the pros will do in less than 30 min but i was just happy to get to the top on my first try. Anyone else close to any ToC roads ?

I used to live in Livermore, so the Mt. Hamilton stage (San Jose) is familiar territory. I do miss the great road riding that was in my backyard! Here's a link to all the stage profiles, from the ToC website:
