Andy_K Thanks for posting the awesome photos! Looks like a pretty cool climb, and the scenery has its own brand of coolness; there's just something about the starkness of those defoliated trees against the sky that just gets me right here. But really, it's nice to get an idea of what some of the surroundings look like in addition to the build-up/apres-ride write-ups. Btw, is that the Konno Allez with the offset fork crown?
gugie Dude, stop for a rest now and then and whip that camera out
