wow, group hug a pepsi (or is it coke) and some beers please!  3% no way!!!  the ride is not as difficult as you are thinking, take the mental image out of it.  its not like I went 2100 straight up without a few stops in there. There are plenty who can.  BTW- Here are the result of the Steamboat town challenge thunderhead climb race.

winning time was 32 minutes......  fastest time for 50 and over - expert was 40:57 

I think our time was 1:10.

my friend Ira should have raced in this, he's 56 and in incredible shape. he's a machine. He had to wait for me! They take different route that's a little easier but still a grinder.
