I'm just wondering, what's the most everyone has climbed at one time?
Supported multi-day: 28,000 on a 418 mile one week tour from Grand Junction to Golden, CO
Solo unsupported one day: 12,600 on a 200 mile ride because I wanted to hit Mt. Hamilton then Mt. Diablo, 2 of 3 highest SF Bay Area paved peaks
Solo unsupported century: 10,200 in 104 miles because I like loops traversing the Santa Cruz mountains
If I ever recover from @#$%^ COVID, now that one can bike from the East Bay to San Francisco I'd like to hit Mt. Hamilton, Mt, Diablo, and Mt. Tamalpais on one ride.
The Devil Mountain Double at 20,000 feet over 200 miles would be fun too except I don't like driving to the start of rides.
