A few more times and you will fly it up that road :-) Ali - sounds like a bit of an interesting story with your uncle. I take it he was OK overall. Sort of an ah-hah experience when you realize that the GPS unit may have relevant information. The idea first dawned on me several days later, a couple of days after Ms. Chatterbox went to the police to retrieve my bike. I walked into the room where she stored it to check out the bike for damage, saw the GPS, and then the lightbulb went on. Chattybox – You did great on the climb.

My uncle was in a bike accident this summer and we were able to use his GPS to determine when it happened and for how long he was unconscious before he was found by a neighbor. Since he has no memory of the accident, he's fascinated by the GPS data as that's the only first hand info. he has from that day. The GPS for detective work can be fascinating.

That is exactly how I remember the climb - lots of steeper peaks in the first 3.x miles. Then, a slack for a couple miles and then more steepness toward the top. I knew it was steep when I had to get out of the saddle (which was a good portion of the first 3 miles). Oh, I like that graph.
