I dont know about a 39, but there are some quite steep hills in the greater LA area. The hills i am riding with a group are Palos Verdes Estates. It's one of the local places bicyclists go to ride hills. There are other hills, probably a lot more steeper in places such as San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel, and Pasadena, where riders seek out the hills. I am not particularly lookign for hills but riding in groups, it is common for rides to have some hills, they look for them.
