Climbing South Mountain
6 views
Got a Contour Roam helmet cam for Christmas, and finally got a chance to take it up South Mountain. Now, climbing this mountain is not exciting as far as going fast is concerned (I have posted the descent already). I am posting this mainly for fellow cyclists who would like to have something to watch while spinning indoors, maybe during a rain day, or, if you are intent on hammering South Mountain, at least you could watch it and ride tempo in line with what you are seeing. In any case, watch that nut in the black car at the Wall at the top who decided to take up most of my lane on the blind turn. :-) This was a fairly leisurely pace (my right Achilles has been less than cooperative of late), so it was around 31:00 from "the Y" to the top (that is the course used in the USCF sanctioned time trial up to the top that is held in early May). My best ascent time is currently 25:59. Here is the Garmin read out for this ride: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/143218850
