Weekday mornings are pretty car free, maybe 5 or 6 vehicles. Surprisingly no crotchrockets as there are usually a few in the mornings. Weekends are different, first 4 miles are infested with thrillseekers!
We rode 8 miles up, then down and backup 5 miles on another section, so the 13 miles of climbing was average 6%, good but not too tough.
Downhill speeds are 30-35 mph around the swithcbacks. One straight section, last clip in video is a 1/4-1/2 mile straight where I hit 42 'ish. Some guys claim 52 on that strip but uhhhhhhh.................ok!
