And I'm not even factoring in the 20% grade climbs to get back to the AirBnB where we stayed!
sorry to hear. was hoping you could use the car to shift starting points down to mission bay and elsewhere. always a big climb back up to the mission hills area if you choose to descend.
once out of the hillcrest area to the east, it gets better.
