Overview

OLH or Kings?

Everyone has a preference. It's a subtle difference. Sure, Kings is higher, with 1540 vertical feet in contrast to OLH's 1290. But Kings is at a slightly lower grade, 6.8% to OLH's slightly steeper 7.3%. Each is relatively steady. Neither is exceptionally challenging.

But the numbers fail to tell the story. The difference is in feel, in personality, in vibe. Climbs have personalities. Attitudes. If you haven't yet met them, you've got to ride them yourself. In 2006, you had your chance with OLH. This year, it's Kings' turn. Check it out. Then you, too, will have a favorite.

Our insurance demands it: helmets are required. Sorry kids, no exceptions!
