Colorado [paved] passes cycling project

This summer's goal: climb as many of the high passes across the state as I can before it starts snowing again.

Here are some helpful links, in case you're interested in riding some of these:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_mountain_passes
• http://cyclepass.com/index_p.html
• http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Climbing-Bike-Colorado/dp/0979257131

I've listed the climbs I have completed below, ranked by in order of a combination of "most enjoyable, scenic, safe and challenging" - arbitrary at best, but may be of value to someone.  I'll update this table as I progress.

You can see all these climbs on a map by glancing at my Strava heatmap.
TODO -

• Slumgullion east?
• Loveland south
• Monarch west?
• Wolf Creek, east and west
• Berthoud north
• Molas
• Lizard Head
• Coal Bank, south (and north?)
• McClure, north and south
• Kenosha?
• Gore, east and west
• Grand Mesa south
• Cameron / Ft. Collins area
• La Manga and Cumbres (Antonito to state line on 17 and back)

And to finish it off, some high altitude rides, not counted as passes -

• Trail Ridge Rd, east and west? (Fall River Pass?)
• Mt. Evans, north?

Honorable mention

Climbs which are not high passes but deserve attention and offer a challenge, potentially even greater than the passes above:

• Magnolia
• Sugarloaf
• Flagstaff
• Lefthand Canyon
• Elk Ln
• Rist Canyon
