40 plus years later and it pretty much is the same with only a few cars here and there now with a few cyclist as well, way back in the days I had days to where there was not a single car cars nor any other cyclist, if you crashed back then you would be in big time trouble, reason why I would let others know where I was going, if I didn't show up then they would know where to look for me, these were the days when not many were riding bicycles. I used to live near Alum Rock Park. One of my craziest rides one day, I road up to the top of Mt Hamilton and I looked over to the Santa Cruz mountains and I said what the hell, I'm off to Santa Cruz for a TICO TACOS Burrito, no I didn't just go there for a Burrito but I did get a Burrito in Capitolo at El Toro Bravo, from there make a B-line straight to Soquel San Jose road then to Summit road, get some snacks at the General store on Summit then to Old Santa Cruz High way which ends at HWY 17 then a short ride into Los Gatos, these were the days that bikes were allowed on 17 down until the Los Gatos exit, PROBLEM though the Los Gatos exit is on the left side, then to Double Rainbow for a lousy cup of joe then back to the East Side of San Jose. I now live in the Netherlands where mostly the over pass is the high ground over here, boring! Glad to see that others cyclist are now enjoying a Mt Hamilton road ride, The hamlet of Sunol at one time it's mayor was a DOG!
Love to hear stories of climbs like this. I’m in Portland, but just hearing your story of the ride, makes me want to go find this and ride it. While the video was good, it’s memories like yours that I’m after
Nice seeing the different cam angles, looks like a really fun descent
It took me 1 minute to understand there was 2 cameras! ahahahah nice, good to see body position and that kind of things.
One of the best climbs in the Bay Area.
Man, that looks fun! But it really triggers some PTSD from a spill I took on a high speed descent in Thailand last year. I'm just starting to get my descending b@lls back. Be safe!
I enjoy all of your videos. Is there anyway to include the elevation % to these types of videos?
Mt Hammy! The South Bay's finest climb!!
Road condition seems sketchy. Or is it just the wet patches?
I love your channel, but the wind noise ruins these videos. Can’t do it.
He who wanna be like SAFA must buy appropriate mic wind stopper thingy!
Turn the volume down…?
That's different ... I mean, it's a different content.
Not bad, but still some work has to be done compared to SAFA.
