I know that he visited in late 2019, and did some kind of an organized ride while he was there, so I assume he's at least got the basic lay of the land.

I did the 100K in 2012. They had to adjust the route due to flood damage. Over 7,000 of climbing. Might have been close to 8,000. I did it on my heavy a** LHT. Fell going up a wet, pave carriage road. (It rained the night before.) Walked part of a descent that had railroad ballast size stones. The final unpaved stretch was a road but was more like a rocky, dry creek bed with elevated sides. I slept well that night.

In 2006 I did a ride called Breathless Agony. It had 12,000 feet in the first 75 miles, then descended 40 miles to the finish. It was too much and I was affected by the altitude more than usual and I suffered the last 15 miles of the 35 mile climb. I felt a lot better once I descended for a while. I never wanted to repeat that day.

This one suggested by youtube after the 3.5 floppy vid is a good one.

I’ve experienced that. Hit the sucker in the head with a log, but it just more pissed off.

James R. Barker video of the day. Pretty impressive how he whips that massive boat right around the bend.

I guess they wouldn't get as many riders if they called it "A nice, long ride that might leave you a little sore tomorrow".
