[OrRando] 2008 400k's

[Michael Wolfe]

Holy crap.  Just went to The Kramer's blog, and saw what he has in store for
the 400k next year:


> ...the ride to Lost Lake, the climb up Lolo Pass, the Marmot back road to
> Sandy, the ride out to Eagle Cliff, the climb up Government Camp and over
> Bennett and Barlow passes and the ride up Sevenmile to The Dalles and may=
be
> up Dry Hollow to gawd knows where.

If he means to send riders over Lolo Pass from the east, then that's a
pretty good long climb up a gravel road.  The climb up over The Devil's
Backbone on the old Barlow Road is a pretty good pitch, too.  Not sure where
Eagle Cliff is, but then to throw on top of that a climb up over Summitt,
Barlow, and Bennett passes is pretty brutal.  Yikes!

My 400k is no walk in the park, but it'll be easier than that!  Folks who
are used to the Covered Bridge 400 are going to have a bit tougher time
earning their SR next year, that's certain.
