Miserable it would’ve been on a gravel bike with no suspension. My hands were rattled to the core by the time I was done.
We did it counter clockwise starting from the bottom of the shafer climb, which was nice to knock that out right in the beginning. I wore a camelback with about 2L of water, ate an uncrustable, w nutrigrain bars, and about 4 30g carb gels. Took us about 9 hours.
My legs feel good. My lower back and hands were the only parts that hurt during the ride.
