STUD. Man that is a ton of up in a short period of time. How long was the trail to the top abouts? must have been steep.

Ok, first the trail is a paved road, and I am riding a road bike.

Don't dismiss me yet...we got either downhill biking or road riding here; mountain bikes need not apply. I am a convert, and one that claimed "I'd never..."

Trail (aka road with few cars) up is about 6-9km, some 5+ miles.

Don't hold me to the number, I am really not sure.

Great ride, great space.
