Mini- Matterhorn CCW- 8

Mini-Matterhorn in the counter-clockwise direction with the Southern portion twisted to make a figure 8 so it heads North on Soldier Trail. The steepest portion is 14% gradient, not 10%. The setting on the phone was to replace elevations so it put in calculated elevations from the map instead of recorded elevations. I know, from a previous ride, this is 14% max gradient.

I headed out to conquer the Mini-Matterhorn this morning. But, I was doing it backwards because it has a max gradient of 14% instead of 15% and there is a climb up to it that would condition my body for climbing. It worked. I was successful at climbing the whole thing without stopping! The climb that was steep was longer, but more gradual in its turn upward. My lungs were burning and legs screaming by the time I crested, but I made it. I was concerned that I wouldn't recover from this climb before I had to climb the backside of the steepest peak had I gone clockwise, but I did.
I also did my second best time on a trike up the Ridgeside segment.
