[QUOTE="Stugots, post: 2789031, member: 87335"] FWIW, I use to do a LOT of cycling (120-130 miles/week) before I went on trips to Montana mountain & road bike with a friend who owns a place up at the Yellowstone Club. The cycling I did prior to the trip was at approx. 1,100ft elevation with some rolling hills. That helped me immensely! In Montana, leaving my friends place we started out at 7,400 ft of altitude and climbed as high as 10,200 ft. Once and only once did I experience hypoxia while climbing a tared road up a mountain. On another trip out there, we were riding mountain bike on some sketchy single track. Two guys flew in from Arizona with limited miles in their legs that spring. They both lagged way behind my friend and I and in the evenings through the night suffered some Nasty Headaches. ( A by product of limited conditioning and riding at altitude). Me in the white jersey riding down the rock slide trail ALL the way. In the top pix is the other 2 guys walking all the way down the rock slide. (They were the ones who suffered headaches).
