Conquered Killer Ride ... PICTURES!!!

[Starfish]

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!
Susan

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

I'd like to think we're nice folks. And I led the "short" ride 2 weeks ago should have said hello.
Jiffer, you're doing better than me as far as avg speed. Go look at my journal on bikejournal.com

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!

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!

Great job!! (and I love your jersey, too!)

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)

[rij73]

Wow, I'm impressed. You've only had that bike a little while, and you are smokin'! Yeah, you look great too! Good work

[Jo-n-NY]

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.
