My coworker is considering doing this race next year. I wish I had the time to train to consider even doing it.:cry:

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
There is only one day with significnat climbing given the distance (the one with 6800 feet.) The rest of the days are roughly the same distance but avergae less than half that in elevation gain. I don't know what the terrain itself is like (too lazy to read it all) but it seems like a pretty doable race ... you know, if you'd be make it to get the starting line.
Here's a sick race with plenty of climbing..

Two of the ergon riders I follow on Twitter did this. Some crazy climbing and stories to go along with it.
