Except for eating, you spend more time climbing during Ride the Rockies
than anything else. Here's a picture tour of the
fun. -joe
In addition to the four mountain passes indicated,
there were several other significant climbs. The 35 mile
gradual climb to Leadville wears you down for the climbs of
Tennessee Pass and Battle Mountain later in the day. On day
three there are no mountain passes but there are two steep climbs
-- one of these was nearly ten miles long! On the sixth and last
day there were two shorter but significant climbs.
