    We preroad this thing today. Knocked off ~10 min off dave's previous attempt. SOLID climb to the village, but once you're there it gets awesome.

    Railing corners like on a moto....

    The headwind going DOWN from the 39 was terrible.

    Hmmm. I'm heading out on the road bike tomorrow to do some climbing. IF that ride goes well, I'll join the ride on the 15th.

    Darin, there's a few guys here that have done it. Mark Sheetz I believe has done it and I think Paul Truax too. I wouldn't do it that way but then again I love my gears.

    What percentage of this ride has a shoulder? Is it all twisty non-shouldery stuff?

    define "shoulder"

    As in pavemet to the right of the white edge line?
    Some...
    it varies from 0" to 36", with the norm being around 8 to 12" of shoulder

    Lots of road with no shoulder tho
