Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

definitely not an angle i've seen. drove up to lake tahoe approx 6 years ago via the 395 and monitor pass and through markleeville enroute to the lake. only able to do two, 30-mile rides nearish the lake...no time to hit any of the various death ride passes. from san diego driving, tough to make it up to yosemite, much less tahoe. hopefully someday soonish but not holding my breath.

My last post is from the top of Leviathan peak, which is the peak that Monitor pass skirts around.

Just think how your life would have changed if you lived in the Death Valley basin.
