Depends on how fast you go and how much you like climbing.

Not if you're going to the top of Mt Hamilton. That's quite a bit more.

Not too bad. The last part up to the top of Mt Hamilton is kind of steep, and it can get pretty hot there in the summer. I've seen temps of 109.

When I lived in Livermore, Mines was one of my favorite rides. Now that I live on the other side, I do the east side of Mt Ham often, after I ride up the west side.
