Meadows!!.....tight and steep switchbacks make for a tough ride. I will have to admit never trying to climb rock-it or lynx....but rock-it is on the to climb list...i only hope it's half as much fun as going down it.

I bust up laughing on that one! Mental images of a bunch of bikers with beers around a table.

Oh . . . and I think he meant that he cleaned it on his geared bike, but not his SS. So according to man law, it CAN be cleaned but not on an SS.

If you have the lungs for meadows then Lynx is the toughest climb. If you have the legs for lynx then meadows is tougher. Lucky for me I have niether the legs or lungs.

Medows for me by far. I suck at tight switchbacks and their loose too.

I voted for Meadows due to those tight steep uphill hairpin bends. I've never ridden up Lynx or Rock-it as to be honest its danergous riding up them with people flying down - I want to blaze down those without meeting someone wobbling along round the corner. Canyon Acres wasnt on the list but we had 3 stops to get up that one - Super steep and very long.

Your poll got me inspired. Got off work early yesterday and climbed Cholla, Meadow, Mathis and Rock-it. Got to find a better line up the baby heads on Rock-it- I gravitated to the left near the top and wound up hooking a bush. Was thinking about Lynx, too, but it's really sandy and it was getting dark and...
