We rode the south end of it ~30 miles back in May, and it's very nice... I see the 62 has a 4-mile 2% climb - interesting...... Who's doing it this year, and is there a particular hotel we might all want to gather at??? We'll probably go over Thursday night, to tourista on Friday before riding Saturday...

I have done that ride 4 times so far, the first was the 100k route and I kicked myself for not doing the the full hundred so the last 3 I did. it's one of the best rides of the year in my opinion, incredible scenery and a yes few hills, both the 100 and 62 mile routes do have a few steep hills along the way and a really stiff one that is maybe a mile at a 10%+ grade but I didn't think it was that bad and passed a few roadies on the way up. The Garmin indicated it was 3500 feet total climb.
Weather permitting I'll be there, it's a heck of a lot more scenic than the HHH. Only bad thing about the ride is it had to end
