Tour of Utah - - americas toughest stage race

almost ready to start up and over the alpine loop from the sundance side before going over suncrest before going up to finish at snowbird. ROUGH

see it live at tourofutah.com

If you guys want to see some serious climbing go watch the highlights of the Vuelta from Stage 15.. Steephill.tv has the last 10k up the final mountain. sections of 23% pro's rocking 34rings with 11-28 even 11-32 cassettes.

Ya, I saw that, it was crazy. I've never seen pros riding so slow. I do see fat asses riding that slow all the time. I tried to imagine what 23% would be like. Ive ridden in the teens, but I don't think any steeper than 15% or so, and I'm lucky to sustain 6mph at that grade. If I ever make it back to Spain, I'm gonna check out the Angliru.

Mono, next time you visit ABQ, if that ever happens. I'll take you up the real fingers which are 5 really steep hills at the top of Montgomery. I think one tops out at 24 and another at 21, though they are extremely short.

Deal!

yea.. i've done short hills in the teens before.. maybe even short bumps on those into 20% but i'm standing up in 36-28. it's impressive to see them do stuff like that at speed.
