Yeah, they are a little steep, but come on, hundreds of cyclist bike this route any given time.</i><br /><br />So true! <br />Four years ago I was in SF during Critical Mass. After going round Embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf, the ride started to climb at the spot you mentioned. Suddenly a chorus of "a hill?" and a LOT of folk getting off their bikes.<br /><br />Me? I had just finished a two week tour of the Pacific Coast from Tillamook, Oregon. Lotsa lotsa hills, fully loaded bike. Now here I was on an UNLOADED bike, and this hill felt like <b>nothing.</b> I think I shouted, "COME ON, SAN FRANCISCO! YOU PEOPLE LIVE HERE!" as I powered up the hill. I felt like Superman. (It was the only time I ever felt this way on a group bike ride!)<br /><br />Sounds like the Bike Party is lots of fun and off to a good start! The tips you list are good, especially the "get your snacks, etc. beforehand" point. We've been doing the Midnight Mystery Ride in Portland for eight years, and that indeed is an important point.adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271920444274938299.post-18167927249821099512011-02-02T21:36:00.619-08:002011-02-02T21:36:00.619-08:00wow~ it looks like you guys had such a fun time!!
