Was wondering if anyone was doing this ride in Death Valley, 2 weeks from today? It is the inaugural ride, and takes a differant route than the other centurys that are done in the Valley.

The hill to Hells Gate is pretty tough, 6.7 miles long. I don't know what the grade is because it was on the Death Valley Fall Double at mile 170... All I know is that I struggled up that hill, so I figure it was between 6 - 10%...
