The road up to Onyx Summit has some steep ups and downs through Barton Flats followed by a long endless climb to Onyx Summit. However, there is really great scenery as you climb up and up above the clouds!! And did I mention THE PARTY at the top?

It was great fun to share the joy of these cyclists arriving at THE TOP!! These photos show how great of a time it was at the Onyx Summit Party this year!!

338 cyclists out of 376 starters accomplished an amazing feat by riding up above the fog and clouds all the way to Onyx Summit!! We were amazed that 89% of all who started made it to the top of Onyx Summit!! Each rider who made it was awarded a beautiful medal as you can see in the above photos.

This year we had a new and improved Grim Reaper dude partying at 8,443 Feet at Onyx Summit.

The Onyx Summit Rest Stop Team was awesome with Laurie Ostrow, Mike Tillman, Richard Van Dyke, Carmen Gray, Deanna Hare, Julie Robertson, Barbara Sinclair, Mariceia Munoz, and Ann Robinson. Thanks to all!!

Thanks to our SAG Drivers who were seen all over the course all day: Frank Neal, Paul Haussler, Tony Colarossi, Greg Mill, Liv Peraza, Susan Caldwell, Bobbi Leith and Jim Freibert.

It has been verified that Scott McAfee set a new Course Record in a time of 4:37 this year!! We always wanted to know how fast a Pro could fly up this brutally hard course. Scott rode the Redlands Bike Classic as a Pro for 9 years and was a Cat 1 Racer in 1998. Scott set the Breathless Agony course record last year in 5:03 but was disappointed by taking a wrong turn. This year, he didn't take any wrong turns. In addition, he came out of retirement and raced to be in top shape and set this course record by cutting 26 minutes off the old record!! We tip our hat to Scott!!

One tandem made it to the top this year. Dan and Briann Hoopes flew all the way up to Onyx Summit in 6:18, just 4 minutes slower than last year's record breaking ride for them. Dan hasn't had a chance to do any serious training this year but they still rode their tandem, "Big Al" very well indeed.
