<\/a><\/p>\nInitially I was shooting for an 85-105 mile route, but the shorter days, questionable weather and big climbs suggested a good December route of 65 miles.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately, I had expected rain so I neglected to carry my camera.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Since the elevation profile above nicely depicts the goats, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll summarize:<\/p>\n
Sneath Lane Sweeney Ridge<\/strong><\/p>\n This was my first time on this 5-rated, three mile goat.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a nicely paved trail up to an \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcabandoned military base\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, but has placards depicting some sort of Nike Anti-ballistic missile action from the Cold War.<\/p>\n http:\/\/nikemissile.org\/links.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n Sweeny Ridge in particular can be found here: http:\/\/acme.com\/jef\/nike\/sf51c.html<\/a><\/p>\n Manor Drive!<\/strong><\/p>\n This may have been the last time to get credit for climbing the safe and (in)sane Manor Drive in Pacifica.\u00c2\u00a0 Although I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never seen traffic on it and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s now nicely paved, it has been removed to make room for impressive goats like Stevens Canyon (560ft in 5.5 mi), as opposed to the wimpy 570 ft. in 1.2 miles (per RideWithGPS)<\/span> .\u00c2\u00a0 To quote newbie Brice, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I never need to do that again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n San Bruno<\/strong>Mountain<\/strong><\/p>\n This is always a fun goat due to its steady grade and views from the top of Radio Road:<\/p>\n Brice Wu, Stuart Wallace and Alison Chaiken at Radio RdSummit:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
