Even 'flat landers'. After two days and fifteen miles of hiking. More to come in the roadie section.

Cool!
I'm building up my climbing ability, with the hopes of doing the Chelan Century Challenge next year, and RAMROD the year after. We may not climb fast, but you betcha we can climb!

Chopped liver? You folks got the preview. They wait hours. Besides, you have a link to my photo album anyway!

Congrats and a beautiful place to ride. It would be worth the pain if I could do it!

Oh, Wooow. That is unbelievable. I can't believe you rode up that. And you saw bear!!! Cool.
It looks like a fantastic vacation. I didn't think it was possible, but you actually got me to consider doing some hillwork. With a payoff like that, it's worth it!

The following day I saw a tour group going up to the top. Most had triple cranksets and a several folks were solo touring with a fully loaded rig. It's quite doable, even for folks of modest ability. The altitude does take it's toll, though.
