Alpine in the winter?

They call it the Alpine Ride: Mt Tamalpais and then past Alpine Dam, to Fairfax and home. 110km, with 1500m climbing. Weather glorious! 22 degrees - is this really winter? I feel sorry for Jim and Cisco in New York: snowed in and below freezing.

Here, the climbing is steady - just keep going up. The gradients are higher than around Sydney, but the scenery fantastic. I took it easy - as can be seen from the attached extract from my iBike power software. NP= 204/287 up Mt Tam. It's all too good! To be repeated tomorrow and Monday.
