The motionbased data doesn't really backup the claim of tons of climbing though. 500 feet for 4.5 miles? Youngers had that just climbing to the top of the ridge and that was the first mile or so.
Has the trail changed or more been added?
You HAVE ridden North/South haven't you?
BTW, how has the points series been going? KYMBA's website keeps changing and I just haven't been keeping up. Car wreck in march and other great things keep happening.

Yes, I will be at LBL later this month for the final KY series race and camping at hillman ferry.
Duffield has tons of climbing. None of that sissy gradual climb, It's either straight up or straight down. I've been down there and spoke with people that have rode the carolinas, out west, Tenn, Texas, etc. and they say the climbing in KY is unreal compared to all these other locations.
Yes I'm the same guy as on KYMBA. I've race 8 races this year, white lighting and youngers where 2 of them. Youngers was nothing compared to the mammoth cave race. that was a mudfest like no other and I hope to never race in those conditions again.
