Prepare for your balls to be busted. This is a lot of riding on Fromme.
I may need some vitamins.

Loading up on Guinness to get all the nutrients that I can for the long haul.

Should be a sweet time.

2,000 meters of climbing is equivalent to going from the bottom to the top 5 times !

True, but it says 2000m of climbing AND Descending. so an average of 1000 up and 1000 down if I'm reading that correctly.

I was thinking the same but wasn't sure. I heard 3 laps for the race so it's probably 1000m up.

Male supermodel!!!

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.

Wrong all of you! Mr gps said 1940m up_ and_ down! Rig, 5 times to top would equal 2500m+, it is 500m+ to Seventh. And remember trails do exist below the gate yo!
Think 2 big laps with a delicious finish.
Hypothetical vertical break-down: Upper Oil = 450m, BP and Mtn Hgh to gate = 100m, Bookwus = 500m, up to Grannies = 100m, BP and Mtn Hgh to gate = 100m, Crinkum = 250m, KOS = 100, Floppy Bunny = 150m.

450
100
500
100
100
250
100
150

=1750m of sweet ball busting Fromme shredding!

So what you are really saying is that the beer stash should be up somewhere around Upper Oil Can?

Must register our NorthShoreBikeShop/B-Team team today.

Sounds like it's going to be an epic Fromme day. If I had to guess at an awesome route for Fromme I would go with Upper Oil, Executioner, BP to Boundary, back to the BP, up Mtn Hwy to 7th then back up to Ladies?
