Today’s inaugural Low-Key Hillclimb ride took us up Montebello Road. I had ridden the climb three days prior with my former co-worker, Jorge. There were a little over 50 riders, and the vast majority of them looked really good. I was a late-comer to the world of cycling, having picked…

The Bay Area Low-Key Hillclimbs are back! The first ascent will be up Montebello road, a climb that I’m very familiar with. I’m somewhat apprehensive about all of this, mainly because I’m about 10 pounds over my normal climbing weight. I have to hit the road hard in the next…
