yup, 1 hour the the shack, then 20 back down. im glad i went early, there were a few groups of 2 or 3 going up or down, but as i was leaving the dirt lot a herd of about 150 to200 went by. i only got passed by 2 bikes going up, and no one on the trip back. that is a nice 1000 kcal burner avg hrt rt was 140 on the up trip.
