Onion Valley Road out of Independence, CA...
Bicycling has this as the steepest stretch of road in the country of at least 10 miles. Goose, Steel or Piney have any of you guys done this.

no but it is only 20 miles from me so I will have to try and get down there this summer.
Anyone that wants to put it to the test; I'll go with. |

5200 ft of climbing in 13 miles, that is impressive. |

12/27? I was thinking more like a 12/37.
That is a ton of climbing. Its probably a 10 hour drive for me, so I don't know if I will make it there anytime soon. Archaea, get yourself a Death Ride ticket from some poor sap who paid for one but has no real plans to do it. When we're done, we'll zip on down and meet Piney and hit that road for a cool down. |

Piney, weren't you hoping to do the Death Ride this year? Or was it the Everest Challenge? |

That's reason #311 why I don't plan to race. I can do a solo 40 mile ride anytime I want without paying money to do so. |
