Actually I'm a bike mechanic at the LBS, unfortunately. The people at MTBR wanted to know how it did in off-road scenarios (quite well, actually), so I made sure to get photos of that environment.
Any I have ever done will be dwarfed by the one I am doing July 2010.
I am doing the Etape stage over the Tourmalet.
109 miles and just over 18,000 feet of climbing.
Dude!

That'll be epic!
