Well, 5th avenue hill looks good on paper. Most men i date look semi good on paper. Then.....we get to know them, and, well, we all know that story.... 5th avenue---same deal.
Mapmyride AND ridethestreets show that 5th avenue from work is a straight shot. 1.5 miles. This translates for me to be appx. 8 - 10 minutes on my bike--TOPS. I've driven 5th ave before, and walked 5th ave before...but...riding UP---5th ave with a 25 pound satchel of goodness on your back...different story. 5th avenue takes appx. 30 minutes to ride from 5th/L - 5th/Laurel...mostly because of it's classy ginger incline. The other piece is because getting out of Gaslamp with jack ass drivers and all those lights is a real sitch. Thankfully....my date was patient. So...note to self---on paper, 1.5 looks nice, but, once you get to know that journey, a little more of a raw deal. Change into workout clothes next time, and ride over to the park for self induced boot camp to round out the experience next time.
