The affair was total misery for me (and a funny story) as I was not nearly in shape for powering an old, heavy bicycle up 7 miles of steep road carrying an extra 50 lbs of blubber and snow climbing gear (click to see and laugh about my Mt Evans Climb and Bike Ride trip report). I have long desired to return to do it right, and reclaim a bit of my dignity.

The descent to Summit Lake was still freezing. I flew down the steep, twisting road, teeth chattering and hopping the bike over the worst of the cracks in the pavement. The short climb from Summit Lake warmed me enough to stop the shivering, but the road was still a broken and cracked mess. Once past the Ranger Station, the descent into Idaho Springs was a delight. With good roads and minimal traffic, got my speed fix for the day.

All cyclists must wear helmets. We strongly encourage both front and rear lights, especially for the Early Bird, when all riders must be on the road by 6 am. All cyclists, from both events, must arrange for auto transportation back down to the base as riders are not allowed to ride down the auto road. We encourage drivers to bring up dry, warm clothes including hats and gloves as the weather at top can be downright nasty, even during mid-summer. In August of 2007 the hillclimb was cancelled due to steady winds of 72 mph, freezing temperatures, frozen precipitation, and rime ice. Mt. Washington is known for its weather and is the site of the highest surface wind ever recorded by humans at 231 mph in April 1934.

From the intersection of Algonquin Road and Main Street, take Main Street south. At Huntington Drive take a right, travel to the top of the hill to the stop sign, and turn right or left onto Circle Drive to access either park.

Located in the Southwest corner of Silicon Valley, a few miles from the new Apple Spaceship campus and the infamous Hewlett Pakard garage, Montebello road is a sharp right turn off of Stevens Canyon, just past the Stevens reservoir. Most folks divide the climb into three parts, each with its own feel and personality.

Upper Montebello starts just past Swiss Creek Lane, and like the start below, kicks in straight away at over 10%. The road then stair steps itself up to the summit via inclines mostly in the 6-10% range, but there are couple of stingers in there as well, notably a testy little 0.3 mile stretch from Ridge Winery that touches double digits, and a short wall of about 150m at 12% that is always tough on legs and lungs, coming as it does in the last 1/4 mile of the paved portion of the climb.

I often get better gas mileage on hilly roads than flat roads, provided the grades are not so extreme as to require braking downhill to keep the speeds in check.

The problem with flat roads is that the horsepower demand is so low that the engine is way out of its effeciency sweet spot, even in overdrive.

If a car had two engines, a large accerlerating, passing, and hill climb engine that only starts when its power is needed, and a small cruising engine, perhaps with only one cylinder and sized to make about 20 horsepower, then a flat road would get the better gas mileage.

The bigger the engine, the more the hilly road benefits the gas mileage. A small subcompact with a one liter engine would probably do best on a flat road.

Our cars ARE optimized for climbing and aceleration. Do you really believe it takes triple digit horsepower to cruise 70 mph on a flat road?

A car getting 35 mpg at 70 mph is only burning 2 gallons of fuel per hour. An airplane with a 100 horsepower engine will burn about 8 gallons per hour at full power and about 5 gallons per hour at 70 percent power. That should show you just how underloaded a typical car engine is when cruising on a flat road.

Cruising on the highway the gas motor might come on for 30 seconds every 2 minutes.

That would require only about a 2 mile range from the battery (or super-capacitor bank) at 75mph.

The gas motor can open its throttle more to climb long hills etc. after the battery is down.

If your radiator is good and everything is working properly there should be no problem. Lots of us live in Colorado and I have gone over the Sierra Nevada mountains dozens of times. Might get hotter than driving on flat ground but not dangerously so. Yes turning off your AC is expected. On newer vehicles the AC shuts off automatically on hills. There was a time when before a steep hill many roads had a sign" turn off your AC".

The trick to toyhouse hillclimbing is DOWNSHIFT and let it rev. The 22R is about as bulletproof an engine as there ever was. It will scream along at 4K or better all day long. When climbing into Yosemite from the east side, over Tioga pass, I found that 1st gear is the way to go. This means a top speed of around 25 mph, but it will do so with virtually no throttle. It made this climb with 4 people and plenty of stuff. Didn't even break a sweat. When you get in trouble is if you leave it in drive, as it will shift to second and fall on its face. And the natural response is to give it more throttle to try to keep it in second. It is a losing battle. The trouble is, is the 4 speed auto is a very wide ratio gear box. It will pretty much climb a tree in 1st gear, but it won't hold second on steep grades.

I have a 6 cylinder - I find climbing hills in 2nd gear at about 35-40 mph works pretty good. Most manuals state one should let the tran handle downshifting going up hill - I find that it will not downshift to keep engine in power band unless pedal is floored - rather extreme. Also as it accelerates and I back off the pedal it upshifts. Works good on flat lands but not in the mountains. Downhill I shift as neccessary for compression breaking. Turning off OD, then later shifting to 2. Depends on the desired speed.

So it would be OK to manually shift into 1st and keep it in 1st gear for extended periods to climb a steep hill? I don't have a tachometer and can't install one. Haven't driven in any mountains yet and am concerned. Just driving some steep hills in S. Ohio my Granville (22RE) struggled and downshifted into 1st revved real high then shifted into 2nd and I lost power. These are just hills and not mountains! So what is the correct way to approach a steep hill and begin manually shifting? How fast can you climb in 1st and for how long before overheating or damaging the engine or tranny?. Do you drive up the hill normally and then manually downshift when the engine starts to bog down? Any tips greatly appreciated!!

Me, myself and I typical climbed at 25-30 in 1st and 45-50 in second. I manually shifted into 2nd or 1st and when the road would flatten out a bit I just let up on the throttle and maintain the same speed, when the hill went up, back on the throttle and try to keep my climbing speed. Shifting between gears while climbing is wasteful and hard on the transmission. With proper technique you will get to the top eventually and maybe even pass a few 18 wheelers.

Thanks bicoastal but I am inquiring how to properly climb with the 22RE 4 cylinder not 6. Been to Mt Evans twice in last 5 years never saw rides to the top though. Thanks Everyone for comments and suggestions! Seems these 22RE's can rev very high for extended periods without damage. Anything to look out for while climbing to signify possible developing problems?? I will be travelling alone with my 2 pups and I don't think they can offer suggestions:-):-)!

This is a perfect distance for a day walk for me with a lunch break; enough distance to get a good workout, but not so long that I would be too sore to fly back to LAX the next morning. I had at first thought that I might be able to be lazy, and simply combine the three, 4 mile or so, red line routes together, to make a longer route. However, that would have entailed having about as many stairways climbed as descended, and that goes against my normal habit of climbing as many stairways as I can, so I decided to build my own route from the base set of stairways. Thankfully Susan Ott and Dave Ralph, who built the Seattle All Stairs map, put photos and step counts in the markers for all of the stairways, so I copied those markers into a Google map of my own, and changed the marker shapes and colors to match the conventions I use in my own route maps, as a stairway layer. Then knowing that the stairways tend to climb radially toward the center of the Queen Anne hill, and thanks to Doug Beyerlein, there is a safe pay parking lot by Roy and 3rd Ave N which I was able to use as my start/finish location, I was able to draw a route on a separate layer, that circulated counterclockwise in a 15+ mile loop. The originally drawn loop had close to 100 stairways (the actual total is 108 stairways including the ones I added, and other where multiple stairways were lumped together on the Seattle All stairs map), all the way around Queen Anne, as can be seen in this Queen Anne 15 Mile Loop Google Map. Here is an augmented still-image version of this map, with mileage flags numbered, the start identified, and including stairway/elevation stats:

For the most part, the stairways in the early portion of the route were similar to the first, concrete with one or two hand rails. All were useful pedestrian transportation routes allowing direct access to steep hillside/hilltop narrow streets, not directly reachable by car. The region is primarily a large bedroom community of narrow/hilly grid streets, and stairways when the hills become too steep for road links. Also noteworthy are the super-tall radio towers, like the one use by KING-FM, which can be seen in this photo of another stairway on 3rd Ave N, located above the stairway-pair in the previous photo.

Continuing past the two mile mark and more stairs up-roads down, walking through quiet older residential neighborhoods, I rounded the bend at the west side of the region to head northward. On the next upward climb, I reached a very tall and long concrete retaining wall, the Wilcox Wall, that has a rather ornate pair of substantial 72 step stairways connecting the upper and lower parallel 8th Ave/8th Place roadways that it separates. It is impressive engineering, nestles in the tree covered slopes of the region. e24fc04721
