Californication

So yeah, turns out cycling on the San Francisco Peninsula is kick ass. Climbs, descents, rolling roads, flat roads, redwoods, oceans and lots of other cyclists.





Also excited about Strava. It's like Garmin Connect but it parses out notable segments (climbs, sprints, descents, etc) of your ride and gives you stats on them. Also has social networking type features. Ranks you against other users on the given segment.

The above is the climb, "Old La Honda (front of bridge, to stop sign)". Used as a benchmark by a lot of people around here. My current PR is 22:29. The goal is sub 20.
