Well OK, it was 11,990ft at the summit of Loveland Pass. This was an escape-the-heat scoot yesterday. Near 100 degrees in Denver. Just above 50 degrees at the Pass.
Turned the helmet cam on at the northern base of the Pass, at the Loveland Ski Area. Took about five minutes to ascend 1500ft. to the top. Found a perfectly matched tune from the Doobies "Clear as the Driven Snow" to accompany the exhaust note. Song length is identical to the ride length, so no fancy video transitions or fades, just the whole base to summit enchilada. The tune builds as altitude is gained, with a sweet and classic Doobies instrumental closing out the final two minutes of the ascent. Uh, the exhaust note is nice as well.
Will pass through timberline on the climb. Just looking at the snow seems to lower the body temp. Enjoy the ride:

Looking back during the ascent. The vid rides this road...
Well, while paused for the road pic might as well point the cam at the Milwaukee transportation device...
With the bike at the edge. Anything for you, the thread viewing audience...

Peering down the southside of the Pass. This is a fine ride on the Milwaukee big twin, especially when you want to feed the bike and brain some cool air...
