All,
In case you hadn't noticed, the latest edition of Bicycling has an
article about the 100 toughest climbs in the US. In their typical
fashion the really only list 5, differentiated by distance and then
refer you to a website:
http://www.usacyclingclimbing.com/
The website is actually an overview of a book titled: "The Complete
Guide to Climbing (By Bike)", but there is a summary of a couple of
climbs........including Mt. Evans. I thought you BTC riders might
enjoy it so take a look...
I have also ordered the book itself ($12.00 on Amazon)...it should
arrive early next week so I will bring it on the Talihena trip.
Should be an interesting read!

Hi Greg,
I'm sure this link gets your pulse going! As I was passing through
the airport today, I believe Cycling Magazine anyway there is an
article on difficult climbs and one is in Philly 37% grade. Said very
few cyclists can make it even when carrying speed into the climb.
