Hi Ted, I was running the stock 40/32 rings with a Surly Dingle 17/21 fixed cog. I thought the hills were effin' steep. https://flic.kr/p/mMU4bk https://flic.kr/p/4YmkCu I also used an S3X hub and a mountain bike up there. The fixed drivetrain made descents more confidently controllable, I thought, but slower. It was basically all logging roads up, some singletrack traversing and descending, then more logging roads down. It's fun. No table drops, or ripping gravity car runs down the graded road, but fun. All that area is really fun, especially with an off leash dog - they can really run. I did ride in Annadel with fatter tires (Smokes) and the 32x15, too.
It's no harder or weirder than any of the other things people on this list do with bikes.
