We love 'em, don't we?? Well, maybe once we are up them.
And, no, you are most certainly NOT insane. You are one strong woman!

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." Captain Jean Luc Picard

But of COURSE Hell is beautiful! No need to fudge the spelling. It's an actual place in Norway. Go to http://www.setnan.no/jan/bilder-1.htm and check out a video titled "When Hell freezes over". And as for a wall ... well the one in Hell is not on a bike route; it's for rock climbers. But there are hills, and yes, it's beautiful.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

their website says 7000 for the 72 mile (6000 for the metric).. but i logged 6540 ascent according to my polar for the 72 mile route last year.... that is a REALLY pretty area! loved the alpacas across from one of the rest stops!
i would highly recommend alpine challenge.. it's a great ride... gorgeous area (as bikerchick said!) and the support is wonderful... TONS of food.. water... etc! i'm really upset that it falls right between 2 climbing centuries (that i need to do to get king of the mountain) cuz i want to do it again.. and hubby really wants to do it this year (bum knee last year)
