Not on my mountain bike, (at least not here a 5300-6000 feet). I haven't ridden at altitudes close to MSL for 11 years, so I don't know how much the denser air would help me."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

If you're fast the denser air hurts you. Merckx set his record at 7500 feet. Merckx, Boardman, and Sosenka have done nearly 31 miles in an hour on a conventional road bike with no aero bars, wheels, etc. 1972 technology. Guys on time trial bikes have done 35 miles in an hour. Just thinking of going that fast reminds me of when I was partway up the big hill on the Mike Morgan Memorial Hill Climb (Magnolia route), looked down, and puked....

Just thinking of going that fast reminds me of when I was partway up the big hill on the Mike Morgan Memorial Hill Climb (Magnolia route), looked down, and puked.... IIRC when I first moved to CO and resumed biking, the sparser air made breathing more difficult, but it did seem I could cruise a little faster, (until I ran out of breathe). I'm really curious what it would be like to breathe that thick soupy air at MSL again.I've been getting an itch to try Mt Evans.

Where is this run? I can find precious little info via Google. I've typoed Horgan into Morgan; the race was so horrible I had to repress its true name. Start riding up Canyon (in Boulder) at the Justice Center. Hang a left on Magnolia road. Over the next 4.6 miles you'll climb 2300' of the over 4500 total with the grade reaching 17%. Then the pavement ends and you have 7 miles of dirt washboard. You get back on pavement for the scenic descent into Nederland Hang a right on Peak to Peak highway. Go left on Eldora road. Take a left on Shelf road. Finish at Patterson Lake. Pros have won riding that 18 or 21 (sources differ) mile route in 1:23. http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/USA/2003/jul03/jul12mikehorganhillclimb Quote Magnolia Drive resident Dan Lewis, 28, drives the road daily and said "you couldn't pick a worse road to have a race on. It’s a Hell of a road. I've gone through brake pads on my car every five months since living here." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it is well over 100 if you call this bicycling: http://www.canosoarus.com/08LSRbicycle/LSR%20Bike01.htm But for a real human-powered bike, the best I found was this: http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2007/03/bikerecord_0330"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
