well I've ski'd it, but I think I'm gonna head out there next week so I'll report I'll post afterwards. I know they do a century ride to and up it, so I'm not too horribly scared...only slightly

Yes, I've ridden up it in the Fitchburg-Lonsjo Classic. It is a hard climb, but there are worse. Fitchburg is the second hilliest city in the country, behind San Francisco. So, if you ride to the base of the climb, don't be surprised that you have to go up some pretty good hills before you get to the mountain itself. The race website might have some more information on it for you: www.longsjo.com
