I asked this question about 6 months ago and got two replies!
I'm still here and my interest is as strong as it was in 1988 when I
first rode the French Alps. At present I'm under seige with two kids
under the age of 4 so my nice trips to mountains have somewhat
disappeared.
I'm planning a comeback at 40 though!

This used to be such an active group. What happened? Was it the
retirement of of Lance Armstrong that put everyone to bed here? Are we
all at various bike forums?

OK - I have a ride report for the recent Tour de Frog (the Sierra
Century), which began and ended in the little town of Murphys, which is
in the heart of California's historic Gold Rush country.

Although I only rode the half century, it included 5400 feet of
climbing. There were consistent 15% grades, and some of those grades
went on for ridiculously implausible distances.

The full century included 12,000 feet of gain.

I've posted the report, with photographs, here:
