I bet you’d have no problem with 8k of climbing, if you worked up to it. I’ve been doing some 5k days and haven’t suffered. Remember to take a recovery day, though. We recover more slowly (I write having not taken a day off in weeks).
One of my favorite 100 feet per mile rides was Angeles Crest highway. We used to do out and back rides up there but it got discovered by car racers. I should go up there on a weekday when it cools off.
