You may want to do one of the Dam(n) Loops or similar rides for something that's more reasonable with respect to the steepness of the hills.

The Dam Loop is a great route, did it last year with Mellow Johnny's Sunday group ride. Stephanie said afterward that it's a good indication of being able to complete the LIVESTRONG 90-mile route. Obviously, she was right.
