jschen,
I totally agree with Cali, this ride is not that difficult, Latigo is a nice climb, and the views are great. I can only imagine that since when I climbed it in June the lower 2/3 was in the clouds. The lifts to Baldy are much tougher.
This was the first double metric that I had ever done and at the end I felt like I could still ride another 30-40 miles. Maybe I might have to try some double centuries next year. Cali & Lance are you up for some double centuries next year.
