I've started doing rides that I've dubbed "Holy Sh*t" climbs. Several weeks ago, it was Sierra Road, followed by Welch Creek. This past Saturday, it was Bohlman/On Orbit, followed by Hicks. I can still feel fatigue in my legs two days after. Stats were so so .... 61 miles, 5700 feet climbing, but then again, there was about 1.5 miles of 15-20% grades, and some at 25%.
