Are you ready to test yourself on the Toughest Century in Southern California?
Some of our favorite photos from the 2007 Breathless Agony Mountain Top Party are above.

Jerry Hubner completed the course with only one leg!!

Jerry Hubner is the most inspirational cyclist of the 2007 Breathless Agony Century.
Jerry had polio when he was 2 years old.
It's amazing to think that a rider can complete this course with no left leg strength!!
And you thought it was hard with two strong legs?

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!!
