Wow, you're getting my mouth wet for my next ride! Yeah, I feel I haven't been in the saddle for ever! 2000 foot gain? That sounds like the 3200 climb from Takilma, OR over the Grayback mountain into the Klamath valley in California. Or also the 2600 gain coming out of there over Bald Hill Road! Believe it or not, in the end it was these climbs that I look so fondly back on!
