There is an outside chance I may informally do a presentation for the Vancouver Club at some point. I haven't done those other climbs--we focused on the ones we thought were the hardest and with lowest traffic. It sounds like you should give the Death Ride (http://www.deathride.com/) a go!

I remember back in 1971, in the original Tour of California, the Mexican national team sent the then-37-year-old Sabas Cervantes on the attack up the gravel Ebbets Pass climb. Nobody (including US team riders John Howard and Mike Neel, or Canadian climber Roger Sumner) could catch him! Mexicans won every stage thereafter, with the overall win going to Augustin Alcantara.

Alas, I can't make it to Seattle. Any chance you'll be doing your presentation in Portland? I've always wanted to try Monitor, Ebbets, and the road up to Horseshoe Meadows (out of Lone Pine) but haven't done so. I'm curious if you ridden those.
