My Favorite Climbs
We help athletes
achieve their goals
to win, race, or be
fit, and to discover
for themselves our
passion for cycling.
What follows is a catalogue of climbs.  I will list them in alphabetical order.  Some climbs are truly
fitting of the description of "My favorite Climbs" while others are just included so as to create
alternative for riders tired of the "same "ol thing."  The rating system I am using here is used a
guideline.  Please always consider your fitness level, and riding skills when taking on the climbs listed
here.  
Newport Coast Drive-- 1.6 miles with 462 Elevation Gain 5.83% Grade

recovery isn't too long either.
