I ended up doing this on the road bike. not sure why, but the folder (with 24x32 gearing) never felt right for some reason. hard to put my finger on exactly what it was, but I made it up hills on the road bike where I'd have to stop with the folder. fwiw...

So, how did it go? Did it without a break? Have driven up that and it's a monster climb.

monster is right. I stopped a few times to take a break and walked the final mile. but, I got to the top under my own power.

I hope to cut an hour off of my time next year
