Billy Goats
Billy Goats are a group of major hills around the south bay area. To nominate a hill to be included in the ACTC Billygoat list, please complete the form below. Before submitting the nomination, please make sure that it meets these criteria. For the suggested name, use the road names. You will need to have some way to estimate the total distance and the total feet of climbing. The easiest way is with a cyclomter than has altitude funcitons or use a GPS.
