Good thread!

If your toes are in the sand...I don't see how that could be a low unless you were shipwrecked! 😉

Always carry a spare! At that altitude, you never know when you might have a blowout.


Really....First time I have actually seen that shoe there. Ghost shoe?

Count? heck it gives you the Iron Lung Award:B

When I was in Leadville there was a cross-country bike ride event going on...it took s hours for the folks to come and go...100's of folks..I was panting just walking 2 blocks. Then there is a ride that goes over 3 passes called "triple bypass"! I was traveling along the same route when it was going on...NUTS!!! More power to you!

There's nothing to laugh about around here. Serious business, all the time.

[pjay9]

This will teach me to be more specific with my enquirey! Or maybe it wouldn't have done any good! This is fun...yeah what's with that extra shoe?

[bgum]

Somewhere between 35000 and 40000 feet and 100 feet below sea level.

Death Valley, Pikes Peak. Does anyone know the location of the highest paved road point in the continental US?

The road going to the summit of Mt Evans, CO was paved all the way up. 14,240 (?) feet - not much oxygen. LOL!
