Okay, now the post is updated and I’ve rewritten the missing sections.

Adrian:
yeah, my heart rate monitor is at Cateye and it sucks. It constantly loses contact and reads my heart rate at zero, so all of my HRM stats are low by at least 1/3.

I wrote about my hrm issues here:

Also, yes, some how I managed to truncate two paragraphs of the post that I’ll have to fix soon.

[...] I did Page Mill Rd, one of the hardest hills around here, for the first time on Saturday (coincidentally so did Palo Alto Cyclist). The sort of triumvarite of hills around here are Page Mill, Old la Honda and King’s Mountain. [...]

That’s funny. I did Page Mill for the first time on Saturday as well. I started late afternoon (4:30pm from my house, 5pm I was on the hill) and I only saw one other cyclist on Page Mill at all, and she turned onto Altamont.

I agree with your sentiment that it’s a hard climb, but that I was expecting it to be harder. That steep section by Gate 3 of Foothill Park (or whatever it’s called) and then that other steep section near Los Trancos were both pretty rough, though.

I put the climb at 7-7.2 miles. I started my trip mode on my computer where I thought the climb began and at 0.2miles in I said “oh this is definitely part of the climb.” I stopped it at the stop sign at Skyline.

I also forgot to stop my clock at the top, but after a couple minutes of stretching and eating a power bar said 1:01, so I think I just scrapped in under an hour.

I wouldn’t have had legs to bike up any part of 84, I’m pretty sure.

One question, is your heart monitor/ computer calculating those calories? I suspect it’s actually quite a bit more than 1096 as they say each (flat) hour on the bike at 15mph is 750 calories. Your average was slower than that, but you were on the bike over 3 hours and there was about 2400 feet of elevation gain, which adds some calories.

(It looks like there’s a bit of your post missing, by the way. It says “One other interesting note is that I took about 5 seconds to check out where” and then a new sentance starts. Sometimes that happens to me if I mess up a a href tag.)
