[QUOTE=Pedal Wench;571762]Three similar stories...

The first time I did the 6-Gap ride here (gaps are our mountain passes), every slight hill on the way to the first gap I turned to anyone around me, "Is this a gap?" The other riders just shook their heads... the first gap is a six-mile climb - I had no clue...

When my DH first did 3 Gap, he kept thinking that the first hills were a "gap". When he asked another rider, "Is this the first one?", they just laughed and said, "Nope".
