| Running vs. Cycling up steep hills? I'm a runner (brother Bob is a mtn bike racer in Aspen), and the question came up on the rec.running list: On steep hills, Is there a point where a runner of a given talent level will beat an equally talented biker? There are sections where I run in the San Gabriels above LA where I've never been passed by a biker, eg, Eaton Canyon bridge to Henninger flats. (when younger I did it in 24 minutes, when my vo2 max was 76) Is this just because I've only encountered weekenders, and not racers? Regards, Dan |

It's about 2.4 miles up and 1,400 ft of climb (starts at 1000 elevation), according to my trail book. --Dan "Chris Neary" <[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] > wrote in message news:[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]... > >There are sections where I run in the San Gabriels above LA where I've never > >been passed by a biker, eg, Eaton Canyon bridge to Henninger flats.
