Still working on the GoPro.
In the meantime, I took the bike on one of the nicest roads in CO a few days ago. Actually it was one leg of a 300ish mile ride some friends and I did up through the mountains, but the south side of this pass was just paved last October (was dirt before) and the asphalt is PRISTINE.
This is at about 13,000ft altitude. Something like 45% power loss up there.
Not my photo:
We also hit something known as Horsepower Hill. It's a nice long stretch of road with good clean asphalt, uphills and downhills, and long sweeping high-speed curves. It's where you go when you want to drag knees.
Not my video... this guy's not going very hard compared to the norm for this road.

Threw this pass in at the end of it. One of my favorite roads, and it's right in my backyard. Also not my video.

Jesus I really do need a GoPro.
