Just watching the climb made me cry. <em>There was a guy in the results that was on team Audi. Yeah, the (very weak) joke was that this guy, who was wearing an Audi kit, said, "Howdy." Which rhymes with "Audi." Ha. - FC</em> Great job by all three of you! Just watching the climb made me cry.

I hope you'll consider coming West again next year and join us on the 'Death Ride'. MattC (fomerly known as Pat Schleck)and GregC said we were 'nuts' to try the ride on a tandem...now I understand why. While we only knocked off Monitor, both sides, we did cover 58 miles and 7K feet of climbing on a fairly warm day. Hey Sasha come join us too! Ran into YannB who summitted 4 peaks, about 12K in climbing and 88miles, with no recurrance of his Davis Experience. Here's a little teaser I found from 2010 of the 3500 9 miles descent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwrel&v=XL_ar4u2d38&NR=1 Then you turn around and climb back up. 8% avg grade for 10 miles. Elden I see your slow climbing speed and offer you our own tandem speed of 3.8mph. Think about coming out, it's a gas! We'll be there next year and 5 peaks are the goal.

It was awesome. I think you post more video (probably super time consuming to edit, but you do such a superb job!). I LOVED the captions. The one about not stalking the Honey Stinger lady and taking 5 minutes to get to that guy and pass him were really funny. As was you filming the guy filming you. I hate climbing and yet your video makes me want to do that race. However, living and training at sea level, I think I'd probably die from lack of oxygen. Just watched the video. It was awesome.
