Long time missed Umunhum is back! According to Will “The Walking Wikipedia” von Kaenel, if Hicks North is counted, it becomes the second toughest climb in the US after Powder Mountain in Utah!

Important:

• Bring 2 water bottles

• the descent is really demanding. It includes -10% grade for 5 miles. We’ve had heat flats before. The road is steep and narrow. Please concentrate on safety descending. It’s wise to go slower than you’re capable.

Regroups

• Don’t regroup at bottom of Hicks South, rather, head onto the New Almaden Quicksilver Park where there’s water and bathroom.

• Note after IBM we regroup as we turn right onto Golf Course Lane (not Santa Teresa, because there’s a lot of gunk in the road, and it’s a stretch we can avoid).

• Ultimate regroup’s at McKean and Harry Road.
