I am excited to report that despite no riding for the first week of July due to a vacation, I'm going to meet my 20,000' goal this month. My rather inaccurate estimating method now puts me at 19,020' with one more week to go. I can also now ride about 20-25 miles with +/-1,800 feet of climbing without stopping to rest. I'm very happy about this!

You Death Riders amaze me...but I may try it next year. Maybe two or three passes? It would be a good goal to strive for.
