Seven Passes in a Day
Took a little ride yesterday with a buddy and fellow ADV rider, 74C5, to do seven passes in one day. It turned out to be a bit of an encouragement ride for those training for The Death Ride on July 10th. We made sure to give a big wave to everyone struggling up those hills under human power.
 The Seven Passes were Tioga on Hwy 120, Sonora on Hwy 108, Ebbets on Hwy 4, Monitor on Hwy 89, Carson on Hwy 88, Luther on Hwy 89 and Echo Summit on Hwy 50 (actually, the real one on the Lincoln Highway). We started and finished at Safeway at Francisco and Green Valley in El Dorado Hills. Start:  Tioga:   Sonora:   Ebbets:   Monitor:   This is a hard one to see the signs because they're parallel to the roadway.... Carson:   Luther:   Echo, on the Old Lincoln Hwy above Hwy 50:     Finish:  (I have a .gpx file to upload of the track, but keep getting upload errors. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.)

Damn you, Damn you to hell! I've been planning to do this for about three years, and since I live in Texas now, it hasn't happened! I've done all seven, and done as many as four of them in one day, but I also planned on getting Donner too!
GREAT RIDE, Great accomplishment! Congratulations!

Looking at a map, we got Devil's Gate Pass on 395, too. Didn't know about it, so we didn't stop....
