I thought it was alright. The younger guy did a really good ride, especially for the amount of miles he had been riding and even the "heavy guy" did a great job getting up a climb that had some sections over 10%. I would have LOVED to have tried it. I did have to smile at the comments on altitude. Those guys were complaining about it when they were at 3500 feet. 99.9% of my riding is above 7000 feet elevation. For you flatlanders, is 3500 ft really that much harder than sea level? And finally, who the heck is Levi "Leepheimer?" Seems like they could have at least pronounced the name of one of the best American racers correctly.
