I would have been scared to death of those decents (and cramping up my hands right there with you!)
Thanks for report and photos…it looks like a beautiful but very difficult venue!

That’s awesome! Nothing ventured – nothing gained so dream big. Windy steep descents are scary fun!

Very cool, and very challenging- this reminds me of the Best Buddies ride I did a few times. It’s always great to see people having that much fun.

Love your point about those who encourage you vs those you have known for a long time. Love the pics. Love your recap. I love YOU.

It was great to hear your account. Thanks so much for sharing. It is very cool to be able to enjoy the event through the eyes of another rider.

oh girl, I would have been walking that mountain with you! I always figure if I can walk faster than I can ride, then I walk..Sounds like a mixed emotion day. That tire thing-damn! Beautiful pics!!

Thanks for sharing your experience, it was a great ride and I can’t wait for us to all get a chance to do it again next year.

man, that sounds brutal!! 75 hard uphill miles = 103 easier ones, easily. Good for you for hanging in there for so long. And so what you had to walk a little. Focus on the 95% you did well!

Levi is HOT!

A wonderful report, and an equally fine effort.

Dumb flat! *shakes fist in air*

But seriously that report was awesome – I can only imagine how grueling yet beautiful it was. Your experience shows that sometimes the best races don’t always mean finishing. Just even having the courage to take on such a massive challenge is really fantastic!

I’m in awe, Ms. 21.

There were stories this weekend of a similar hill outside of Austin where just as you thought you’d crested, you’d turn and go up again…and again… but it sounds like Kings Ridge Road has it beat.

Nice work, even if it didn’t all go according to plan.

Now I just need to get my bike cleaned up from this weekend!
