    Shasta Ride Pics

    Had a couple more, but the computer has slowed down and I don't have time to wait and load! You have to be there to see how beautiful it all is. What is amazing is looking down to the tiny spot in the valley that marks the center of the ride, knowing you rode up the mountain on the far side, came back down, and have now ridden up the next mountain! So fun!

    What a beautiful location for a ride. You look so sporty and well-equipped for your big ride. And that is a nice jersey, too. Thanks for posting pics and congratulations again on your accomplishment.

    Wow - great pictures! I think we saw that weird pyramid shaped cinder cone thing-y on the way up to Oregon last month. What a beautiful place!

    Sequoia Elite. It is trusty, but when it he (Fred, my bike) isn't looking, I have started flirting with others in bike stores.

    I'm slow (maybe the picture was a giveaway? ) but, the climbs were GREAT. This is a wonderful ride. I highly recommend it.

    Mt Shasta is considered a very sacred destination and home to an interesting race.

    Thanks so much for the pictures! Mt Shasta is a very special place and I"m glad you were able to ride the mountain.

    I've thought of doing this ride for several years. Maybe next year I can persuade some Bay Area folks to do it with me!

    Congrats on your success!

    If I'd known about that tunnel, I might have found a shortcut for the ride!
