Nob - 2006-03-30 6:20 PM 4100' gain in 2.5hrs. 4 climbs and 4 descents.  ...

http://www.bicycleclimbs.com/ClimbLists.aspx You can "easily" get 10,000' of climbing in a morning around here.

That climb sounds like something I'd be interested in.  BTW, the above link doesn't work...

That link comes in and out...most of the page info is also here:

Zoo climb is here:

Climb at my back door here and why I have a compact:

To be fair on the compacts, Tyler Hamilton and a few others have been known to use compacts but for the most part when the climbing gets steep the pros generally add to the back cassette. 28/29s and even 30s with a 53/39 up front are common in the Giro.
