As of about 2 weeks ago… they’ve completely repaved this road. I’ve lived here in PS for 12 years now and have climbed tramroad at least a dozen times on my bike… but gave that up a few years ago due to the fast speeds coming down… I reached 53mph once so am now happy to walk it on average once a week… or twice a week if I’m training for something.

If you do plan on climbing it, either as a biker or a hiker, you’ll be very pleased to know there’s brand new asphalt from top to bottom and after a slight widening there was even enough room to segregate foot traffic on their own pedestrian path… something you can appreciate as you speed down the hill over 50mph. Yah… I know… I had brakes but I was afraid of using them too much and overheating my wheel and/or tire… my wheels would get so hot as it was when I squirted water on them they would sizzle.

Sorry for the delayed comment, just found your website. This is the most deceptive climb that I’ve ever done. With no switchbacks, you think that you should be in a harder gear. Instead, you keep banging the shifters looking for one more cog. Great climb… too bad they got ride of the time trial.

I was injured when I drove up this road and so sad that I could not ride down it on my longboard. Now that the sr330 has re opened I will have to make my way down there again!

Catching up on the comments – sorry for the long delay! November I imagine would be much more pleasant. You could actually ride it during the day instead of early in the morning. What a novel concept! I like your thinking – I think I’ll make this climb my ritual on every PS trip. The first part of the descent is great though – easy 50mph.

Great write up! I just climbed this hill for the third time yesterday. Definitely much more pleasant in November rather than early September. No trip to Palm Springs will feel complete without doing this climb for me now. But yes, that descent on the buckled bumpy road on the way down whilst trying to keep from breaking the sound barrier is pretty nerve-wracking for me – I need a new pair of brake pads now!

I am a bit surprised Hillbasher has never climbed Tramway! This is a climb meant for you! After all, what road haven’t you climbed? Anyway, I hope you get the chance to try this sometime soon..it is an excellent climb. Of course, I wouldn’t blame you if you wait until winter and its cooler temps..
