Previously rode the east grade a few years ago. This was my first time up the south grade.
Per my Polar CS400, the lead up was 5.84 miles at 6.1%, climbing 1,880’
The climb was 6.18 miles at 7.5%, climbing 2,441’
Total of both was 12.02 miles up 4,321’ at 6.8%
Clear skies, lots of motos – one was pulled over by the police - seemingly endless switchbacks. Saw 4 other roadies out there.
In my refugee colors.
