Ask @Drillium Dude about that. Definitely bring the amphetamines, if you're going for the 42/28 bailout combo. Or train hard with @northbend for a month or two. Or both.

I'm with @Andy_K and insist on having a triple for that kind of sustained climbing. I mean, you're talking seventeen straight miles of unrelenting hill. 30 gear inches or less, and I'm going to survive ir, maybe.

BTW, if you're thinking of coming over, let me know. I'd like to do that ride again and it's been awhile.

You too, @RiddleOfSteel.
