The mtn and gravel bike riders love that 10 mile climb on mostly smooth dirt. I did it a few times on an older hard tail but needed a few breaks to catch my breath
thanks for the intel. every time i get the urge to ride in the area, it's 90+ degrees. may just power through it. supposed to be a little cooler tuesday.
