San Jose Perseverance Ride '25 (Mt. Umunhum to Mt. Hamilton)
Embarked on a personal cycling challenge that rivaled the Rapha Day in Hell Ride. I’ve dubbed this ride as the San Jose 🖤 Perseverance Ride aka the South Bay Double-shot!
This route features two of my local mountains, Mt. Umunhum and Mt. Hamilton. If climbing both mountains in one day wasn’t challenging enough, the route connects both mountains by passing over two incredibly steep roads (Metcalf Rd and the east San Jose legend, Quimby Rd.)

Here's my experience at the 2024 Turkey Day Ride. This group ride is an annual (unorganized) event that starts in downtown Los Gatos and climbs up Kennedy Road to the Kennedy trailhead. From there, you climb up the steep trail to the mountain summit, where hundreds of people gather to drink beer and wine and eat food. Finding at least one fully cooked pig and other fancy treats is common! *Foll...

    Great effort! I visited Mt. Umunhum when it was still functioning as a radar station. Don't remember much; need to try to find some of Dad's photos from that day! Thrilled it's open as park land with a fantastic new(ish) road. SO MUCH BETTER than the old road I used to ride! 8:45 is how I usually do Umunhum these days!!! Nice G Series Targa!!!

Hamilton, from Alum Rock (East San Jose), summit Hamilton, then return on Quimby, San Phelipe Rd. to Metcalf, and then Umunhum, and back. What kind of training do you usually do, before events like this?

    Good video. I like that you showed some of the logistics at the beginning. Considering doing this myself but am a little intimidated by the hills. I did a dry run of it on my own and it took most of the day. The hills (for me) were tough. This past summer I did my first GFNY in Sweden and it was great but pretty flat. Looking forward to my next.

    What is it with cyclists recently having the flashing lights on their bikes switched on at daylight, while riding in a group and when there are no cars around? There is nothing more irritating than having a flashing light right in front of your eyes.

    • @smouvemouves
      @smouvemouves 3 месяца назад

      Couple things about that. 1. Depending on the ride, we're transitioning on/off road AND also, riding on roads that have car traffic. (In this particular video, the Mt. Tam area is packed with hikers and tourists.) 2. Most of us aren't even bothered by the light... we're too busy trying to survive the ride, and in this case, enjoying the stunning views and each other's company. 3. Drivers here on the west coast are AGGRESSIVE, so, the lights are necessary. We didn't start off riding on the trail, we road through San Francisco through touristville to get to the dirt.
