Salute to the Spring Classics

As a salute to the cobbled hills that make up the European spring cycling classics my friend Dan and I did some rough-paved climbing of our own.

Here is Seattle's famous Post Alley, note the Gum Wall on the right, where you'll see a couple of folks adding to the collection.

This is the monster.  A cobbled climb up Queen Anne Hill.  My bike computer declared an incline of 23%.
