Your epic bike ride schemes

I think your ride might be hillier.

wow, that's a really long ride tho.

this guy's great summary of icarus (scroll way down) makes me wonder if i really wanna do it, the huge drop on soft pea gravel at 100% grade sounds not that fun.

wanna go out and do this

long climbs, but then 45km of downhill to finish!

I want to do Cornwall from Exeter. And Paris from London.

Just looked at hunt3r's links, wau. does sound terrifying, but also looks incredible, would love to do a ride like that.

i can't ride a bike to save my life but this is a Public Service Announcement from my friend's bike shop in case anybody is interested. They're riding from Mull to Hull.

don't hate, celebrate!

didnt get started on la sal loop until 4:30 pm, finished in the dark. this ride is superrad going counterclockwise. i will post a couple of pics later, if they worked out. the overlook of castle valley- mindblowing. 64.5 mi, 4 hr 5 min, 5300 ft vert, one section of 10-12% for ~2.5 miles. lordy.

i just found this, holy shit. someday i will do this ride. i think i would do the stuff up boulder canyon first, esp magnolia (4.7mi at 10.7% max 21%).
