No, never have. The only organized ride I did out there was the Everest Challenge, now defunct.
We rode up to 10K in the White Mountains and 9K+ a couple times in the Sierra and I didn't have trouble with the altitude. Didn't have any specific training goal in mind, though.
My friend Dave on the way up to Sabrina.
