http://www.californiaroadclub.org/tam/ Just can't get enough! I was disappointed to see that Lucia showed up at the Jamison Creek time trial last month after...
At informal competitive events sometimes the organizer accepts the time on the rider's bike computer if the rider timed themself. Tour de Menlo, when they...
I happened to be volunteering at the Bike Trip water stop next to the timers' table at the top of Jamison, and can vouch for the timers' diligence. They were...
It's ok Alison, I had a funny day too. When I was at the rest stop up on Summit (the last big one), they called me and told me I won and asked where should...
Lucia, Too bad, I was really hoping to see LKHC'ers take it in both categories. That's funny, I was just looking up the results of the LKHC Sierra Rd. Race...
Yeah, I guess so, but next year I'm expecting much more of myself :) Just kidding. In the world of USAC races I have my hands full on climbs and sometimes...

The 2008 web pages are up: http://lowkeyhillclimbs.com/ We'd announced a major upgrade at the party, but that's delayed. For now it's strictly "Web 1.0" :)....
Hi Dan, Count me in as a volunteer. Should be able to help out at few of the events, just let me know what king of help is the best. Denny ... From: Dan...
After the Santa Cruz Mountain Challenge, working Jamison gives a good reason not to have to climb it again. (<: Barry On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 4:06 PM, Lucia...
My spare time has been torn to shreds (change of job, addition of another baby - btw, the # of babies vs difficulty graph is not linear), so regrettably I...
Nice! Currently my web pages are all script-driven (see, for example, the attached script I wrote yesterday for the volunteer pages, along with a key data...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a really exciting time! For one thing, the world has not ended! Evidently we're all still watching the grass from the right side...
Well, the Low-Key climbs are only a week away, and I'm sure we're all looking towards them with a mixture of excitement and trepidation, much like a burrito...
hey all, I am really excited for this year's series to start! I have a friend who is relatively new to cycling but has been getting stronger quickly. Are...
Bear Gulch is the easiest. That's 1 Nov. West Alpine is probably second easiest, although it's long. Montebello next. After that, the ranking depends on...
I wouldn't call any of those beginner climbs. I'd recomend Hwy 9, King's Mountain, or Old La Honda. Mount Hamilton is a pretty gradual, although a beginner...
Though Montebello is steep(er) at the beginning, it mellows a bit. Perhaps your friend can just show up to that one, and if he/she has fun, likes the people...
... My favorite beginner climb is actually east Alpine from Portola Valley road to the where it becomes dirt. Do NOT continue onto Joaquin :). It's slightly...
As long as we're on the topic of beginners and climbing... Team in Training, where I learned how to ride, does hill repeats on Mt Eden (over by Stevens Creek...
