If I get there at the right time of day and am having fun, and it's not too hot, that's the kind of thing I'd enjoy. Maybe that's the ride you're describing. 6k of climbing would be a lot for me but I'll be coming from Montana and should have my climbing legs by then.

Ah, I found it....This looks like a ride that would be within my capabilities unless it is blazing hot... is it the one you're talking about?

This looks like the same ride but shows less distance... I'm a little confused
