If it was difficult for you, and you pushed yourself, it was a great ride, and probably made you a better climber. That's what I tell myself, at least, whenever I am on a big hill, haha.
QFT. 7k+ is a good ride.
Around here we can put together a 100m 20k ride if you try (oakland/berkeley hills). So that's the climbiest ride, but that sets a crazy-high bar that I don't get near more than 2-3x/year.
