I rode up Noble my first time.

Don't listen to this guy, he speaketh not of the truth, but of the words of a lungless man.

All kidding aside everything that is being written here is the truth, it is extremely hard for us to quantify if Noble is within your capabilities... I for one classify Noble as a ride of Epic proportions... If you are not sure that you are up to it keep training and working up to it, and when the time comes Do the Whole thing This way you will actually get to experience all that makes Noble so Noble... ... If you want to come up to OC and ride San Juan I would be more then happy to take you up but be preparred again for a full day. Just PM Me and let's set a time to climb

Either way I think you you have your head in the right place by asking the questions before you find yourself in over your head, and Noble is a place where that could happen pretty damn quick

Hit me up, and lets do San Juan

I cruised around on the road bike a few days ago to test my endurance...I managed to last two hours. Now I know I need to build-up my physical and mental endurance before tackling any epic rides. I'd rather not be the "weak link" on any ride.

Anyway, thanks for the honest input. I will definitely keep Noble and San Juan on my list of future rides.

I've ridden up Noble, and ridden around 12 Centuries (on the road, obviously). I also ran 5 miles in 52 minutes yesterday; not a gold medalist, but not the words of a lungless man.

ANYWAYS, you'll enjoy Noble, and get to know it alot better, if you shuttle it first.

Wow, you're like a super hero or something. Do you ever get scared when you're fighting crime??

No, I keep my cool... most of the time. There was this one time when a chocalte syrup covered sheriff told me I coudn't climb, and I got a little pissed. But most of time, I keep a straight head.

Seriously! Choclate syrup!

Yes, I am slightly intoxicated right now.
