I've been comparing recent rides with my upcoming Wildflower century, and can see that I may be in trouble. At least the end is flat.
Al, I think you'll find the first climb is doable with reasonable gearing. We were able to do it non-stop on our tandem and we're not very good climbers - got passed by a lot of singles on the way up. Just make sure to hydrate on the way up and hydrate prior to that second climb (which is not part of the 100K). It's my understanding that the second climb is easier than Honey Run (first climb), but is exposed and can be warm. I'm sure you'll get r done.
