The first time I climbed Coleman Valley was with Maillotpois. I was actually able to stay with her because she had pulmonary embolisms. Yes, really.
The cows were kind of scary that day - all red eyed. Freaky looking. It's a great climb, in spite of the scary cows.

LOL - and because you're a darn good climber. We had the cows crossing the road in front of us last time we did this road a couple weeks ago and I thought of you.

Dr Badger & I had cows cross right in front of us when we climbed Coleman Valley during the Holstein century.
I wanted to take pictures but it was so freaking steep I was afraid if I stopped I'd tip over.

There is a long hill down home. Like I said, the cars stuggle to go up. I checked the web site is it says 6%!! you've got to be kidding me. I looks more like 25%. Are you sure it's accurate?
