Journey to the Highest Point in AL
Parody thread! or maybe just #2 in series!?
Last month, GA: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=#post11635924
Much easier than other mountain climbs (well it IS Alabama). The climb was easy, nothing particularly steep or even all that long, or maybe I'm just getting used to it. There was a short steep section on AL-49 that forced me out of the saddle. The rest, meh. Still tons of fun!
Me at the top solo waiting on my riding partner:
Reunited!
Me in this photo:
Garmin data:
Soooo what's next... Clingman's Dome? Mt. Mitchell? while I still have my post Six Gap legs.

Did a race on that hill in Lakewood Flordia earlier this year.... Might not be that tall but it will make your legs cry. Apparently Flordia DoT dosent own any road grading equipment.

And, you'd have to lay the sign flat, or you'd need a sign on top of the sign.
This could go on forever.
Nice ride. Plus, any route that takes you through Choccolocco has got to be fun.
