Roaring Fork

Did about 36 miles late this afternoon including the usual ride to Elkmont and back (1900') and added in the Roaring Fork Motor Trail. I think its the hardest short climb I've ever done. In 40 minutes I covered the six miles from roughly the start of Airport Road to Cherokee Orchard (essentially the same road) and then onto the one way Roaring Fork. I gained just under 1800' in those 6 miles with an average power of 289. This includes 10 minutes at 318, 15 at 310, 20 at 306, 30 at 299. And this isn't really pushing it, just what it takes to keep the pedals moving through the extended 12-17% sections. Toughest short climb I've ever done. I try to ride this a few times per year.
