End up riding 78 mi. including Devils Kitchen. It is a tough climb. The steepest section is 22%, averaging 12%. I climbed it without stopping. I’m 50 years old.

A compact is a damn good idea. Even with a 27 on the back it is tough. Anyone with a compact will open a gap and there is a nice faux flat after the top to keep it going, then it is all down hill.

Great – intimidating – photos. Did you ride or drive that climb? It’s the main feature of Stage 2 of the Tour of the Catskills this year. Maybe I can drag Chad over to climb it with me when I do my race prep.
