As this group is quite inactive these days I could not help but comment on how enjoyable stage 16 was yesterday. There was action for almost the entire ride...

I would like inform the KOM group that I have John's book and he has done a fabulous job in capturing great climbs in the US. I highly recommend this book for...
FYI, in response to some queries the road bike climbing book 'The Complete Guide to Climbing (By Bike) is now available on Amazon. Please let me know if...

John, I forgot to order from you. Will you get the same cash if I order from Amazon - it would me much simpler. Howerver at Amazon it quotes 4 to 6 weeks to...
Hi guys, It looks like a dead group, last message more than a year ago, but I'll try anyway: Has anyone route suggestions for the Eifel area in Germany? If...
It's not dead but it may be asleep! I can't help with your query but just thought I'd say there is someone here! Darren ________________________________ From:...
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...
We're still here! I guess that the proliferation of web-based bike chat sites has silenced KOM. Thanks for the report! That was my "home" century a few years...
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....
Hi, I'm in similar situation as Darren. Since my second child my cycling activities are very limited. The only difference is that I can not plan comeback at 40...
Hi Jiri Remember that you're going to be losing your physical capabilities markedly over the period 43yrs to 50 yrs if you're not training hard. And...
Well, I was 46 yesterday, and I'm under siege from an enormous mortgage on a large new (well, old and ramshackle and in need of *complete* remodelling) house. ...
Since I've been racing more the last 3 years, I've been less obsessed about climbing and exploring new climbs. But, the fall/winter always reminds me of...
I'm always cycling but at a 'cruising' than 'racing' effort, medium but not hard. My rides are now mainly on the flat as I can't be bothered to go to...
Hi everyone, I'm back in Italy after a long NJ winter, lots of work, and little cycling--and no climbing, of course. Due to a series of negative circumstances...
I also wondered what had happened with such a passionate group of climbers. Sorry to hear how some have slipped a bit. I, on the other hand, have continued...
The riding here in Colorado just gets more fun every year as I get more familiar with the roads along the front range. There is always another climb to...
Good to hear from this group. Similar to some of the responses I too have not been riding as much due to nagging injuries. Doing some climbing in the US...

I'm doing more skiing than cycling at the moment. After 6 months of skiing (I was a complete beginner, not even having roller skated as a kid) I realise how...
A few days ago, I rode up to the top of Hollywood Sign, on Mt. Lee, above Hollywood, CA. Short, sweet, and frequently steep. [;)] Photo and story here: ...
Dave, Interesting ride to say the least. I am always surprised how many hills LA has, some quite severe. Can't wait to get back there. Any data on the...

Hi, John, There are so many ways to reach the Hollywood sign that I can't give accurate figures. On the ride I reported on, it was about 7 miles from Hollywood...
Everyone is gone? Just rumbling through Yahoo memberships and checking on groups that I'd set on 'quiet'. Wouldn't you know that the last time I rode for more...
I haven't ridden 100 miles in well over two years. Riding to and from work is all I manage now. 30 miles a day means I'm not getting too fat, but I'm no longer...
I am here. FaceBook seems to be the online place to hang out....maybe we could start a KOM group there. I'm still riding and loving the climbs here in...
The chatter does seem to have stopped on this list. But I, as I presume most, are still around, and riding in one form or another. In my case, from seeking...
