"Best of all, there are always people to ride with and about 50% of them are girls..."
Sold! LOL. That doesn't suck, it's good to see a concentration of women riders like that, there aren't nearly enough!
Everything looks so buff, so fast. Really like the looks of the rocky stuff too, and that scenery is outstanding. A guy could definitely fill up a two week trip pretty quickly and still have trails left unridin.
I'm not a fast climber, my friends say it's like climbing behind a mac truck up Vail pass, but I've gotten to where I don't mind it. But the elevation is going to kick my arse I think, Sioux City is only at 1200 feet, oxygen might be some what tough to come by.
happy trails...
