I did the 44 mile loop on this ride. The 105 mile loop is a combination of the 44 and a 66 mile loop (with some overlap). I measured 2439 feet of climb, quite a bit less than the advertised climb of 2930 feet.

The event was well organized and the views from the bridges were spectacular.

The web site said the ride was limited to 2500 and would probably sell out, but day of event registrations were still being accepted when I arrived at the registration area, so there probably were fewer riders than expected.

I have a photo album of the ride which also includes a bit more commentary.
