The first annual Trek to the Summit of White Mountain Peak was a success.

From the Owens River at ~4070' elevation to the summit of 14,252 White Mountain Peak, at about ~65 miles round trip, with ~14,760 feet of ascent (and descent).

My 11-page report is now online.

Thanks to Trek Bicycles for making the Trek Top Fuel 9.9 SSL and Trek Gary Fisher SuperFly 100 Elite available for this adventure (there were two of us, so we swapped bikes along the way in order to learn about each). See my evaluation of these two fine Trek bikes.

Thanks to Gu Energy Gel for providing the bulk of the fuel to get us to the top. Gu never upsets my stomach, and just plain tastes good and works.
