It was a ride as advertised in the name.
Almost half mile of climbing mainly on Lord's Hill and Hitchings both in the list of 'Climb Data' .
the warm up was Lord's hill on Rt 80 before doing Hitchings
the turn from Hitchings to Kingsly had similar gradient which seemed like the Tuesday ride from Devoe to Thompson
Then the downhills had recently had the road tar and stone. Otisco was also a roaring downhill.
One rider commented on the ride sheet "Hitchings = wall"
Another comment was "wow"
I am glad I put on a 32 gear from the old 28 from the last time I did this ride.
Here is a sample of my Strava data. Lots of cat 3 and 4
I was about 30 min behind the group that stayed together.
My garmin showed 0% grade when I was going 3mph
