Ok, then I will just ride Mt Evans, can ride it from my house...once the snow melts. Alot more fun and longer ride. Probably 10k feet of climbing from my ...
... I'd love to try Evans and/or Pike's Peak some day but I fear the altitude and don't think I'll ever have a good month to go out there and aclimatize to it....
Karol, There are plenty of excellent lower elevation climbs here in Colorado as well. They are low enough that acclimatization should not be an issue. There...

The price is damned high, but once it is fully booked within a very short time, the price seems to be widely acceptable and therefore good. If the ...
