LOVELAND PASS BY BICYCLE

Told by JackDay 3 months ago.

Tell us about your story.

jackday: The Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70 in Colorado does not allow access to bicycles. The work-around is to take US Hwy6 up and over the Continental Divide at Loveland Pass. I met another cyclist at the summit. He had a list of the 100 worst bicycle climbs in the USA. This was his 61st completion of ascents on that list. (Maniac)

What would you do differently next time?

jackday: Mount an additional opposite facing camera. One doesn't want to turn around and climb that mountain again just to get another angle. It would have been great to have another camera following in a car, possibly coming alongside at times.

What equipment are you using here?

jackday: Helmet mounted Contour 1080

Did you have a good time?

jackday: It was a bear to climb, but the feeling of accomplishment and the downhill run were exhilarating. I tried to keep it under 40mph. A fall would have been bad.
