OK, here's some photos:
Sunrise on Monitor
Sun's up a little higher - close to the 1st summit
Sunrise at the summit
Reststop at the base of Monitor, close to the Nevada border
Climbing the backside of Monitor
Not a great pic, but on the road far below were hundreds of cyclists
The back of BenRidin on Monitor
2nd Summit of Monitor, still only 8:00 am - great start
Another lousy photo, but these women came out in costume (and Bad Girls Gone Wild sign) to cheer us on
Somehow photos don't capture the full range of what went on during a ride like this!
