The first photo is Luperini's driveway, or thereabouts! I'm getting a signed
jersey from Lupa in the mail, no charge! :-)

Al confronto di qualcuna di queste Pian Roncàa è un falsopiano...
La 1a foto è veramente impressionante!!

Climbs to 18,000 feet. Mountain bikers climb it.

Oh, c'mon, I did Mount Evans 4-5 times in 2000 and 2001: it's never
really steep, only problem is the altitude and the 26 or so miles. Most
annoying part is the 40-min downhill!

Yeah, but did you start climbing from Denver or Idaho Falls? Big difference!

Certainly Evans or Kea are not the steepest, but the longest. Evans being
the highest paved road in the USA, starting from Denver at 5000 feet and
reaching the top at 14,000+ That's one hell of a climb on a road bike, but
Kea starts at sea level and goes to 11,000+ so imagine that as one long
hellish climb?
Mount Washington climb has a bit at 22 percent, but for MB riders, Hites
Cove is probably 40 perecent or more where I live, but Priests grade comes
to mind before Groveland too, but I think the back side of Sonora Pass is a
killer. I have done them all many times. In  Lesotho South Africa, the roads
reach 35 percent, but roads in Lhasa also climb to incredible heights.

The driveway isn't the one taking up to the Luperinis', though it
resembles it.
A signed jersey? I wouldn't be surprised if you get one; even Benjo has
it.

I am not always as serious here and joke around sometimes, in fact a lot. No
harm done, of course that's not Faby's driveway, but I have photo I think of
her driveway. I am getting a jersey from you know who!
Best,
Bruce

Il Washington č tostissimo (ma solo in cima oltre il 20%), Il Sonora č
cattivissimo seppur a strappi.... per l'Evans .. beato chi arriva a 4000mt
senza sentire la mancanza di ossigeno!!!

Now that we got it straight, that it isn't Luperini's driveway, why
don't you try and search for where she and local pros train before the
Classics up north?
Molina di Quosa, to which Filbert Street pales away.
