Ahh, just installed a new clutch/flywheel/CMAK. Gotta break everything in before I go on any spirited drives.
But this is a fun route, I used to ride my bike up to Mt Hamilton when I was more into cycling. With that said, be on the lookout for cyclists as this is a popular climb within the South Bay.
The drive up from the Alum Rock side is broken up into 3 climbs.
- First section should be pretty nice as the roads are paved
- Second section should be fine as well
- Third section towards the top may have light debris. Hairpins are steep, I can see this being a potential issue for really low cars.
You'll find the Lick Observatory at the top, and the views are pretty amazing.
