No. I believe I rode to the ride!

But notice the "OVER'L SPEED." I crawled back up at about 3-4 mph. My riding buddy and I refer to it as "the hill of death" (as in cardiac events). There are sections I should measure, but my guess is they are at least 15% grade. I believe the average grade for the 1.5 mile drop is something like 8%.
