There was a time I could do 100 miles horizontal and a mile vertical in one day, for several days in a row.
Perhaps I’ll get back to that some day.
Would like to try the one formally known as the “Tour of the California Alps”.
Done it. 3 times. Took 2 tries before I could complete all 151 miles and 15,000 feet of climbing. Fastest I ever went on a bicycle: 58 mph descending Monitor Pass. Epic ride no matter how you slice it.
Was also originally known as the Markleeville Death Ride. For some reason, insurors didn’t like the title, hence the change to the Tour of the California Alps.
There was a bar in town that had hundreds of brassiers hanging from the ceiling.
