The toughest climb was probably over the San Bernardino mountains (Victorville to Morena Valley CA). It was certainly the scariest descent. I encountered them at the end of my journey when I was tired and pretty worn out. The Rockies (Cameron Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass) were not as bad as I feared. The grades are lower, but longer. Overall, I dreaded headwinds more than climbs.
