Riding up long hills with no air in your lungs...

Fannette Island, nestled in picturesque Emerald Bay. You can see the road heading uphill again on the other side of the bay, which it climbs right back up to the same height as Inspiration Point!

At Inspiration Point, overlooking Cascade Lake, after the steepest climb of the ride! This was around the nine-mile mark, which I reached nonstop, ending with a 550' climb from around 6300' to 6850'! Of course Beau and Nathan were way ahead of me by then...
