I keep a screenshot of a post here saved in photos.app of @scott posting about the “bernal wiggle” so that one day I will remember I have it and type “wiggle” into the photos search box and find it and try it, and yesterday after work, I got on the bike and remembered it and finally tried it for the first time.

The post is three years old (jeeze!) and not the first time he mentioned it, just the time I thought to save it.

Anyway, it’s a thing! It works!

screenshot of a strata post of an afternoon ride up about 2 miles and back, just over 455 ft of climbing in about 30 minutes taking a zig-zag route up the north-east corner of bernal heights kind of following the same ridges that cesar chavez (dolores huerta?) ave and 101 follow in order to avoid going straight up Folsom or any of the piles of other routes.
