I'm 54 and I'm really jealous of that. The most I'll get to do this summer
is a puny 760 km of cycling in six days on rolling hills. No climbs longer
than ten minutes. Sheeeesh.

Well, 760 km in 6 days, is a pretty good ride too...but, I do really like
the challenge of big climbs in big mountains.
This summer's ride is the Bicycle Tour of Colorado (
http://www.bicycletourcolorado.com/ ), and this will be the 4th time I've
ridden it (the route is different each year). It's a beautiful,
challenging, and inexpensive tour, and if you ever want to experience the
beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, or the thrill of passing cars at 55
mph going down a twisting mountain road, it's not to be missed.
I've posted photo galleries of my previous Colorado rides on my website:
