It was a lot of fun, Brynwood was difficult to walk up let alone ride up :eek:.
Just out of curiosity what are some equivalent rides in other places, Seattle maybe?

Big Time Urban Populaire: ~6500' in 100k
Mountain Populaire: ~6000' in 100k, but two of the climbs are 20%+
Summits of Bothell: 3500' in 40mi
But nothing I know of which is 7000+ in under 50 miles. I have to ride this thing next year!
bump This ride is coming up, this video of last years ride should help you decide if you'll do it or not. You'll also see what your training should involve, right, climbing, and lots of it!
