Re: RC: PAC Elevation from Angie Tevis

[LSimoni197@aol.com]

If my memory serves me right, Tevis has 17,000 feet of elevation gain.  I 
have also read it  has 20,000 plus on another occasion. (maybe different 
trails on different years) Remembering that the rider is at elevation for the 
first part of the ride, (over 7,000 feet) and has such steep long climbs up 
out of the canyons, some over 2,000 feet, it is a very fun ride, but most 
definitely not down hill.  In fact, there is quite a little hill to climb up 
out of the river crossing at "No Hands Bridge" to finish in Auburn.
What about the dust?  Here in the West, we are having some real dust on many 
rides this time of year.
