Think I could only do RAMROD if you hitched my bike to the back of a pick up truck, but my spouse DID do his first RAMROD this year and had a great ride. He took lots of pics. Not a bad setting to repair a flat...

Great pictures Salsa (too bad about the flat). I brought my camera because I heard about the great scenary. Got to the top of the Paradise climb, handed my camera to another rider to take a picture of me and my bike with the mountain in the background - RATS....the battery was dead. I checked everything once, twice and three times on the bike - BUT didn't think to charge the batteries in my camera. So....no pictures for me. So, I'm buying one from the ride photographer
Susan, at first I said I wouldn't do the ride again. But it has been less then two weeks and I'm already thinking about "next time"

Great job on the ride. Good luck with the knee. Knee issues suck.
Beautiful pictures! Looks like that mountain is wearing a halo.

Congrats on the ride!!
I did the last downhill, down Mud Mtn Dam. (LOL)
Funny, hubby and I use that hill as part of our regular training rides, and as I was headed up - I kept seeing all sort of riders coming DOWN....took be a bit to realize it was RAMROD day. (bonk!)
Love the pictures! What a great day for a ride! Way to go!!!!
