My hybrid took me to NCAR in Boulder, CO. It was a 650ft climb in about 2.1 miles. It was intense. The workout that I logged on iMapMyRide is located here.

This is my bike on top of my friend's dad's car. He took me to Boulder.

When I arrived at NCAR:

I will upload a video of the descent on YouTube later. My top speed on the descent was 40.8mph. My previous top speed was 33mph. My front end (handlebars, fork, front wheel) was wobbling a bit from the speed. The ascent took 1 hour. The descent took about 3 minutes. The ascent was really difficult because of the intense heat.
