Thanks!
This is a once a year type deal. The climate is different, the air is different, the road sucks. There are a ton better climbs, and getting 80-100 miles/10,000 feet is a walk in the park, and you don't have to deal with this crap.
I was 2:50 this year, which was very disappointing.
It's damn good for 7000 continuous feet of elevation in those conditions! Kudos!
