That is what a few people did at our recent local Sequoia Century
Really?
A few SAGs passed us on Zayante and asked us, "sure you don't want a little lift just to the top?", I thought they were joking! Even though the 10,000+ on the 200K was pretty tough, I can't imagine getting SAGged for just a hill, that's kind of lame.
Anyway: ExMachina: 10 to 13,000' in 100 miles is going to be one hell of a lot of climbing if you haven't even done half of that, or half the distance. Hard to really say because we don't really know your whole training regimen and experience, but I'd guess that you might be in for more than "just enough pain" on this ride. If it were later in the year, you'd have enough time to train, but June 25 is going to come up awfully fast.
Good luck, man . . .
