Kudos! And, I agree about stopping. On one of my longer climbs, I use it as a gauge of improvement. Where do I stop, how long until my HR recovers enough to move on, etc. Thanks for the pics!

Hey Fredwina and Jiffer-
You must live near me cause I just did Jiffer's climb last night . . not with the Cycle Connection crew but with some others I have met through my century training with Team In Training. It is a very difficult climb .. especially when it's this HOT outside !! Congratulations Jiffer! GOOD JOB !!! My DH and I did the cycle connection 3 club ride about 2 saturdays ago which left from "The Grind." Seems like a nice group of people . . maybe I'll see the two of you out and about in sunny Rancho Cucamonga !!
Blessings!

Whoa,that's one helluva climb.
I know I would have had to stop but I would also have to walk, at least until I found a leveling off area to get started again :p
I'd like to think we're nice folks. And I led the "short" ride 2 weeks ago;) should have said hello.Quote:

Great Job!
Well done on the ride :)
That's certainly quite a height you climbed to judging by the photo's!
You have a v.nice bike, i love the way you're all matching pink! :cool:
Congrats again!
Nice job! The pics make me jealous of your riding. I wish I had climbs like that to kill myself on. Keep doing the climb, you'll be surprised how much easier it will get!
Ditto! I can drive to get to a few climbs like that, but leaving from my house, it's mostly rollers. I'd love to live out west where the climbing was more challenging!Quote:

Hey - I look like that when climbing a killer mountain. And I get loud. I throw myself up in the saddle with a great big groan if need be.
hey JIFFER!! WAY COOL! good for you. I like your riding position. I will have to try that on my next mountain assault!
yeah, i want to see the elevation profile too. Funny Teigyr talks about shade. When i did hurricane ridge shade was far from my mind (it wasn't hot)
Wow, I'm impressed. You've only had that bike a little while, and you are smokin'! Yeah, you look great too! Good work :D
Great Job Jiffer!!! Plus, you, your jersey and bike look wonderful together. Personnally, I also have to have a jersey with a zipper just for the reason to unzip it when I begin to get heated.

Mt. Baldy road. That's a hard climb!!! congratulation!!
it's always so fun to come down a long grade, a well earned treat after the climb. And nothing wrong with stopping on the way up.
