My Personal three...

Sassafras, in SC; ~2500 ft in 10 miles. In SC they don't believe in switchbacks or guard rails. I thought this one was harder than Brasstown.




Mt. Davis, in PA. ~2150 ft in 12 miles or so. Well, PA deserves *something*, and this is a beautiful country ride.



Spruce Knob, WV. ~3000 ft, most of which is in 10 miles.




I might add Black Mountain in Kentucky when I get a chance.

Is there a list anywhere which shows climbs 22-93? I haven't had a chance to check out the book yet and am curious about the California climbs.

Tough cookies. I could type them in, but consider it retribution for having so many in the book.

Seriously. 72 climb descriptions in YOUR state. Just buy the book.

+1 Apparently you've already answered. Are Baldy or any of the climbs in the San Gabriel Valley on the list?

No site or book can be complete...

All lists must be taken with a grain of salt...

For a worldwide perspective check out this site...

When is the paving going to be finished on Pike's?

ElJamoquio

Or a different question - when are they going to allow bikes on Pike's?

Well, *I'm* not going to complain...
