Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sounds pretty moderate to me...about a foot at the passes and snow levels at around 5k'. The high spot on today's ride was 5k the only snow left on the ground, was in shaded areas on north slopes.

Today's easy ride after a week full of racing. Did nearly 70 miles of XC MTB racing on Friday, so it was nice to get some mellow road miles in. A couple of the pictures show why I'm a fan of wide road tires...

gorgeous. monitor pass? *edit...yah...saw the other thread after my response. have only driven over monitor pass (once but semi-slowly with obvious purpose) to preview. that longish upper, flattish/rolling part is the giveaway.

The 24% sign, I'd recognize that anywhere. That's Ebbetts Pass. Is it already open?

The other photos clearly are Monitor Pass, both sides.

Time for a road trip!

Monitor pass is open. Ebbetts is still officially closed, although the intel is that it's passable by bike to the top. I didn't ride Ebbetts on this ride, I just rode both sides of Monitor.
