Notes
Slow and painful due to being hot and legs were tired. Parked at Piedmont High. I climbed a hill new to me - Old Calaveras up to Ed Levin, then followed Calaveras to Felter and came down Sierra. This is much harder the other way around (ie. Sierra climb followed by Felter) but the easy way felt hard today to me. Plus climbing Felter on tired legs is not really enjoyable. It is better to climb Sierra on rested legs and enjoy the Felter descent rather than the white knuckle Sierra descent. At the top of Sierra, there was evidence of a recent fire, as a whole area of charred land was present. Saw only one other cyclist (going up Sierra). 2200' gain. Woohoo.
