7 Hells of San Francisco

Cycling Route

Details
27.55 mi
4,132 ft
If San Francisco is known for one thing besides the Golden Gate Bridge, it's the city's hills. The annual 7 Hells of SF ride is put on by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and riders are urged to tackle some of SF's biggest cols. This fun and painful route can be ridden anytime of the year but cyclists are urged to complete the course outside of peak traffic hours. Make sure you're hydrated, caffeinated, and ready to feel the burn!
