Pretty places to ride.

LOL! Thanks! I have clips and straps on all my bikes. I find it much cheaper and more convenient, plus I can wear regular shoes that are easy to walk in if necessary.

Speaking of walking, I'm glad I didn't end up doing the "walk of shame" like I was afraid might happen, given my weight.

You have some beautiful country to cycle in. You must have legs of steel. Those are some tough climbs. Thanks for sharing. I love it when others share photos of their rides. It's so nice to see what it's like to ride in other parts of the world.

Thank you. I enjoy looking at other people's pictures too. In fact here's a thread I started in the road cycling section of BikeForums a few months ago (before I found out about TE) that's all pictures that give the viewer a good idea of the steepness of the road. There's pictures from the whole world in that thread. I also enjoy the thread over there where people post pictures of their bike with mountain backgrounds. I tried to take a picture of my bike with the snow-capped Sierras in the background, but it threw off the white balance or something and you could hardly see the peaks, so I only kept the one I took without my bike in the picture.

ROFL! Cool that he has a sense of humor! I crack myself up editing these videos after a ride, especially while I'm still under the influence of endorphins.

You're welcome. Did you ever get to do this climb?

Very cool! Congrats!

(I'm still working on learning to climb so I'm totally envious that you're out there doing it!)

I usually did it at least once or twice a year. I lived right off of Carson Road (near Boeger) so I had lots of access to great riding. My standard after work loop was Carson-Hassler-North Canyon-Larsen-Carson. I also really liked riding out Pleasant Valley toward Fairplay and of course Slug Gulch, and out to Pollock, winding through the country roads. You really do have many wonderful places to ride. You are very lucky!!
