You have no idea how much of this I managed to drink in four months on an Oregon skifield! We knocked off work around 4/4.30 and the bus didn't go back down the hill until 5pm. Ah, happy memories...

Sweet!
By the by, do you realise that your 80 plus Empire State Buildings are in the vicinity of 3.4 Everests?
Figuring that out addled my brain a little, but I was way impressed!

Wow, that addles my brain also! Just think, yellow and caligurl and others of their kind have probably ridden atleast a dozen of them. So, how many feet for Everest?

Thanks, Teach!
Ooo, I could easily make 4 Everests this fall with a Mt Ham, a Diablo and the Siskiyou. Hmm, I am bringing hill climber just in case I decide I have to slug out the full century. Don't ask me why I'm considering the pain.

If you opt for the full century, maybe I'll join you. I've been so tired this week when I get home from school, I haven't been riding. A new crop of kids is draining - physically and emotionally.

That's 8848 metres from sea level, according to one of the spaces in my brain filled with trivia rather than practical, useful stuff. I thought of Everest in the first place because I was just reading in mbr yesterday about people on a mtb holiday in the Alps climbing (and descending) that far in a week!

It's really not that bad. We rode 5 days in the Azores (which are hilly, but not Alp like) and then when we got home did the local mountain with SK and that was almost 18,000 feet for the week. Granted Everest is another 10K.
I guess it's all in what you're used to. I bet next year Sarah goes for 200,000 feet!
