I looked into a different route. I think I may try it tomorrow. Basically it adds another 3 miles and another 5% hill, but the drop off the back side is -10 to -11%. Plus it goes through a park and the highest point in Portland. I figure it will end one of two ways. It will either be a great adrenalin rush or I'll fly off the hill. Either way it should be interesting. The downhill looks fairly straight, no switchbacks or major curves.
