Amazing! Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a completing such a challenging ride!

Do you know what how many feet of climbing you did?

Not a clue. The NM Touring site says over 5,300 elevation gain for riding the opposite way, which I believe is less than the Davis Mountains. It sure felt like more on my legs. I don't know but it sure left me humble to see what our Cali gals do!

I really enjoyed your story and your photos. PLEASE don't feel bad about walking up that hill. You rode over 86 miles, and for 1/2 of a mile you walked.
Nothing wrong with that. When I did Hurricane Ridge (an unrelenting climb) i got off and walked a few times, i just had to for the relief of doing something different!!

Your ride is a fantastic achievement all at high altitude, I'm very impressed!

Thanks Mimi. I think I forget when I feel disappointed in Bobcat Pass how much I get altitude sickness. I seriously didn't feel better until Thursday evening. I made it through but I do not do well with altitude. One good thing is it means I lost weight there! Walking, hiking, biking and unable to eat a ton.
