My last effort up Diablo was slower than that.

Ha! That was great. 180 heart beat at 50? Dang I have not seen mine go over 165 in a while.

1 hour is the benchmark. But it depends on whether he climbed up the north or south road and where he started the measurement from. But, under a hour is impressive even if he started counting at the official entrance to the park.
I think an average shape rider cruising goes up in about 1:12-1:25 Yes predominantly 30 plus year old riders however yesterday there was a large group of high school mountain bikers from Danville heading up and a couple of months ago I saw a dad with three young kids, all in full kit and tiny bikes all under age ten riding to the top and passing loads of riders. For years hardly ever saw any kids (other than a rare appearance by my kids) so the last three or four years have seen a slight uptick in younger riders. It helps that the local schools have mtb racing teams now. |

Set my PR on Diablo (South Gate to Summit) a few years ago under 55 minutes

I’m 45 and regularly drop much younger cyclists on long climbs. Fifty isn’t exactly old anymore.

Yep, reading comprehension test. Maybe that declines with age?

If I see someone riding up Diablo fixed, who is at least 75, then maybe that gets a chapeau, depending on his pace. |

This is very inspirational for me. I just turned 62, and have never attempted to ride up Mt. Diablo.

Not getting this.. I was there when Ned Overend podiumed Mt. Washington to celebrate his 50th birthday.
I think he did it again on his 60th. Is Mt. Diablo even hard? The Strava routes put it under 7%. ISTR one of the times I did Mt. Washington there was a finisher over 80. Sarcasm? There are tons of strong cyclists in their 50s and 60s. |
