I think I¹ll try to make it. I¹ve ridden up the South Grade (paved road) on a road bike, which was pretty enjoyable, but never up the Nate Harrison Grade dirt road. Last time up, I was so cold on the descent I had to keep stopping and putting my hands in my armpits to warm them up enough to pull the brake levers. It should be warmer this time of year, but I won¹t make that stupid mistake again!
