Aaron, you wouldn't even really need a compact. The mountain passes are not really steep just really long climbs....they are not nearly as difficult in my opinion as the Dairyland Dare stuff. Plus the scenery is always a perfect excuse to stop and rest, I mean, get a picture of this fabulous vista even though I could keep riding
And, really, we're gonna want pictures!!!!

Love, love, love this area. Ok...I'll be quiet now. ha
