If any of you are within striking distance of Southern California in May of 2010 you should consider this epic century. It has 12,000 ft of climbing, thus the name Breathless Agony! I live at the base of these mountains and ride sections of this all the time. Awesome challenge and awesome scenery.

 Alex: That looks kinda dope. Is there a route map somewhere?

Here you go. (http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ca/redlands/722444805914). Click the "Show Elevation" box on the right and then scroll down to see the grade %. As a point of reference, Big Bear Lake is where the Tour of California stage 6 will end on May 21, 2010. Here is another site that gives some more info on the route (http://www.tourofcalifornia.org/2006/05/breathless-agony.html). Fun looking climb huh? This is the real deal.
