Yesterday I rode my bike about halfway up the ski resort here. Halfway in distance, less than half in elevation. I had to be careful not to fall due to gaping about at the valley scenery.

My high point, 3.5 miles and 1900 feet of elevation gain...10% avg grade.
Above Marmot and Thunder chair base areas.
On the way down, had to stop many times to let the brakes cool, and also unclench my forearms.
