| The roads to Monitor and Ebbetts passes were closed to all but bicycles, emergency, and sag vehicles from 5:30am to 3pm. With a chill still in the air and fresh legs, it is a good time to tackle Pass #1. Some of the steepest climbs of the ride are encountered at the beginning of the west Monitor Pass, with grades of 9 and 10%. |
