27 miles including Whitus. I think we did this a few weeks back but I must have missed it because I haven't been up Whitus all seaon. I'm pretty sure it's all downhill other than that. Oh, and with a tailwind too...
Not at all. Whitus might be a bit longer, but not nearly as steep. At it's steepest - Whitus is right at a 6% grade (according to ridewithgps.com) Lynch pops up to almost 12% at it's steepest. I saw you on Lynch - you'll do just fine on Whitus - just gear down and spin.
