Thanks bud! Should be a fun race/video! Hope the rain holds out for video sake and I hope my body doesn’t crap out on me on the last climb haha! 6000ft of climbing in 27 miles by the time it’s all said and done 🫠
Not like a 6000ft mountain but 6000ft of elevation gain over the course of that mileage. But yeah we definitely got some of the bigger descents/climbs on the east coast. Such a great MTB destination!
I've only ridden it once and pedaled it from the bottom the to the top. I never cramp and of course I cramped once I got to the top, then the whole way down.
It’s a slog of a climb for sure! I felt it the other day! I still gotta go up and do kitsuma after that on race day and I’m dreading that second climb haha!
@@WanderingWheeliesMTB What's 500ft ascent in a half mile after that epic DH anyway? 😂 Keep up the work and you'll get there! And besides, just finishing that race is a feat so go get some!
Good question! I’ve done it as quickly as one hour however I’ve seen videos of people riding this trail it taking a few hours to climb. I’d say at a moderate pace it could be done in sub 2 hours
@@jinavl haha, I hear you! I’ve been here 12 years and it has been hard to find a reason to leave. Only thing that would get me to go is if I build out a van and hit the road and live out of it for awhile.
Great video, looks like a sick race! Race day is gonna make for an awesome video too. Good luck! 🤘

6000! I didn’t realize you guys had that much elevation. The downhill part sounds fun though 😂.

How long does the climb take?

ya goin there or gonna do Spencer Saturday..not sure yet
Both are amazing options! The Heartbreak climb is definitely more a grunt but totally worth it.
