I will be crossing the Rockies on my way from CA to NY(I've heard all the reasons not to, and I'm going anyway) and wondered how much power I can expect to lose as I rise in altitude. I am concerned about keeping up with the flow of traffic. I won't be on major interstates, by the way. The bike is newish (<3000 miles) and has traveled from SF to LA without missing a beat.
Any constructive advice would be appreciated. I've had a lot of people inform me that I am suicidal, crazy, overly optimistic, etc, but an equal number wish they could come with me!
Thanks in advance. AlbeeC
