Interesting tidbit... the 360 degree view from Mt Diablo summit allows one to see more visible land than any other summit in California

I live in Hawaii and am coming over to CA this fall to ride a bunch of your climbs. These two are on my list.

Excellent! Depending on when in fall, that's usually a better time to climb those mountains. Both mountains are exposed to the sun, so you'll want to check the forecast carefully.

Thats a great ride. I did it unsupported with a friend back in 2016 while planning our Ham/MtD/Tam ride. Going up the wall that is the backside of Ham cemented our choice of starting in SJ and finishing in SF.

Nice one, thanks for sharing. If this is your idea of fun check out the Devil Mountain Double, also in April every year, that throws in Patterson Pass to make it an even 200mi and 21k feet up.

The last 200-300 yards to the summit are pure hell. The only climb I can imagine that's worse is the climb out of limantour beach.

There are also long tough climbs in the high mountains of the Eastern Sierra-Owens Valley: Onion Valley, White Mountain, Horseshoe Meadows and others. The west side of Sonora Pass is especially hard for the first few miles up from Kennedy Meadows. See PJAMM Cycling for climb profiles.

Great ride. I attempted Mt. Diablo starting from Fremont, but IT band pain forced to take the bart back home. The most agonizing part was riding from Fremont Bart to my apartment. You did it like a champ 👍.

So awesome. I've been riding for years and never had the courage to do a Century. My legs start cramping at the 50 mile mark almost every time. I still haven't figured out how to eliminate that issue but I just wanna say I'm super impressed with your ride. What a great achievement. Congrats 👏

The Double Shot ride usually happens in conjunction with Rapha's "A Day in Hell" world event during April. Subscribe to Rapha's club channel for updates on next years event. (Assuming this will happen again.)

How much car traffic is there on Hamilton compared to Diablo (esp on the East side)? I've never made it down that way. Nice ride! It looks like a memorable one.
@smouvemouves
@smouvemouves 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! The car traffic on Hamilton is nothing compared to Diablo. During the week, you won't see much in the way of car traffic at all once you get past the East San Jose foothills - it's very sporadic. On the weekends, you can expect to experience some car traffic, but it's minimal as compared to the incredibly busy Mt. D. On the east of Mt. Ham.... you'll see maybe less than 5 cars. 😅 There's nothing but open backcountry on the eastern side. But, it is MUCH steeper than the west (more popular) side.

That you did this ride on a mostly empty stomach is AMAZING! You must store muscle glycogen very effectively and burn fat through ketosis extremely efficiently! Think what you could do if you consumed 30-60 grams of carbs per hour...
