I'm making a comparison between California's Death Ride and the hardest stage on this year's Tour de France. Anyone out there care to make a comparison? Vertical feet climbed x total distance =???
which stage? What's the vertical feet total? Anyone have a course breakdown that could compare Death Ride's 15,000 vertical feet x 129 MILES with a single stage?
(I'm actually writing a story about a 67 year old rider who will pass his 100,000 mile soon since he picked up the sport at age 50. Quite a feat. I hope I'm that fit when I'm 67....)
