As an amateur, pre-ALC, I leisurely cycled up to Grizzly Peak two years ago when after my third time up the trek became a breeze - didn't have to stop. Today, the ride up was laborious. I stopped to catch my breath and hydrate five times, but I made it and the peak definitely challenged my cardio functions and legs.
After riding the peak for about 5 minutes, I headed back down. Wow why does anything 15 miles and above seem so fast when going down a steep incline? From the bottom of the hill, at the base of UC Berkely, I rode to and looped around Lake Merrit then headed back home. I thought it would be riding more miles. A great ride, though. And a whole lotta eye candy riding through campus. No, I didn't take pictures - that would be akin to texting while driving, but even harder.
