I like climbing mountain roads on my bike, but I would not want to do the Rockies or the Alps. I don't like the idea of oxygen starvation. I would rather do our nice, medium sized hills here in CA that start near sea level. I can go up and down those a few times rather than once on an Alp and not get hypoxic. I cannot imagine what Schleck must have felt like on the TdF this year on that second to last mountain stage.
