Have done it every year for the last six years. They flattened it out a bit for this year turning on Dillion at the top of the climb so the fifty should be easy. The wind is in the morning and not bad once you make the turn after the climb. I am still recovering after surgery and can't get on the road bike till the last week of December so I may have to cut back to the 50 till I see how tired I get. They have moved it up to January 23 from February 13th this year so I will have just 4 weeks to get ready for it.
