It felt every bit of that gain and a lot of it was between 12-18%. The rain let up just before the ride took off but we had wet roads for more than the first couple hours which made the descents tricky and slow. Anyway, glad I did it but it worked me pretty well. 61.5 miles in 4:28 ride time with a bit extra for a few quick stops at sags.

Best part was getting home to watch the Giants beat the Eagles on dvr. Go Blue!
