Yes, that's Tioga. We started in Lee Vining, rode over Tioga to Evergreen, 2nd day rode from Evergreen to Twain Harte on paved Forest Service primary roads (some great climbing and descending there), then on day three over Sonora Pass to 395. 200 miles, 21,000' of climbing, 26% max grade and according to my friend's computer, 20,000 calories. We were eating 2 dinners a night.
Really stunning ride. We had a bit of rain and some wind over Sonora, but otherwise the weather was mild.
