The Ascencion of Bev

Hawaii has the tallest mountain on the planet (when measured from the sea floor, anyway), and Backbone's very own BEV MONOHAN climbed it. The actual heighth fom sea level to tip of Hawaii's Mt. Kilaeua is 10,300 feet or so. Bev rented a road bike, and like the freak she is, set out to conquer it. I guess living at the base of So Cal's Mt. San Gorgonio (8,000ft) has made Bev strong enough to consider biting that off! At an elevation that would make Sherpa Tenzig Norgay drop his pack and die an icy death, Bev powered her way to the summit. Bev is the first Backbone racer to ascend to that height, and maybe the first mtb racer to climb that mountain! Thanks for the update, Bev, and we'll see ya in a couple weeks..
