The disbelief look was a common look that I saw. People just don't think that it can be done.

Considering the cloudy winter we have had, I would say those numbers are excellent.

And this year there's three of us signed up. I want to do well, so I've been trying to find the steepest roads I can around here. But it's tough. Independence Pass has the vertical gain, but it's just not steep enough.

That was pretty cool. Unfortunately, I didn't see the sign until it was too late - they'd already closed.
