On the other hand, <a href="http://lowkeyhillclimbs.com/2009/week6/profile.png" rel="nofollow">On Orbit</a> clearly sustains 18% (again with steeper segments in the details).<br /><br />The top 10 steepest blocks in SF, according to Wattage:<br />Top 9 steepest street blocks in San Francisco <br />1. Filbert between Leavenworth and Hyde (31.5% grade) <br />2. 22nd Street between Church and Vicksburg (31.5% grade) <br />3. Jones between Union and Filbert (29% grade) <br />4. Duboce between Buena Vista and Alpine (27.9% grade) <br />5. Jones between Green and Union (26% grade) <br />6. Webster between Vallejo and Broadway (26% grade) <br />7. Duboce between Alpine and Divisadero (25% grade) <br />8. Jones between Pine and California (24.8 grade) <br />9.

I decided to leave that climb out of the SF Steepest ride I led because of the one-way nature, but then I didn't make it up one of the blocks of Jones. I did get up Duboce though! After Jones and Duboce, Fillmore etc. seemed rather tame.<br /><br />What is your measurement for the steepest part of Quimby? I think Quimby is steeper in parts than On Orbit. For that matter, Los Trancos at its best seems steeper than On Orbit too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-29511700198097642862009-09-21T08:30:18.904-07:002009-09-21T08:30:18.904-07:00VP needs to work that block into a new Giro di SF ...VP needs to work that block into a new Giro di SF course.phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117172371253313913noreply@blogger.com
