Our house is on the other side of the ridge, so we drive over it very often. I had been pondering the ride for a long time. I prepared for a hellish ride, and it ended up being easy, because I paced myself and went slowly. Maybe I'm just a good hill climber and don't know it. I suggest you try it. I had a blast. If you make it over, there's some killer coffee waiting for you on the other side.
