What a great dat for Colorado springs and Cycling! Wondered where you had posted yourself Tim. Tough decision, but I opted for mile 4, shade and a chair. Oh, and a Nikon motor drive. Got some Great Shots of Schleck, Zabriskie, Levi and Evans. Will forward them onto the site once I get them uploaded, and filed. Even panning with motor drive at 400th\sec, they were still challenging to catch!

<p>My first ascent up the Incline, with the Spikes was interesting! It took me a little while to become accustomed to them; specifically, how to plant my foot, on each step. With the snow beginning to melt, a lot of "ties' were exposed. With the substantial spikes on this great winter tool, a couple times I found a spike 'catching' on the wood. So, I then needed to watch carefully where, and how, I planted my foot. A fellow passed me (running) with them on his feet. I said "how much do you loveā¦</p>

He said "I love them a lot more on the way down".</p>
<p>For those who have the resources to have more than one pair of snow/ice traction devices, or may be climbing only to the 'bailout', I can see having: 1) Yak Traks, and 2) MicroSpikes, for specific conditions. These are definitely for deep snow and ice! I love them! The elastamer (sp?) bands are more malleable than even the Yak Traks, because the material is NOT rubber! I love that about them; so easy to put on and take off. That material also contributes to their light weight.</p>
