From my data last summer the fastest I got was, again, from Northgate to Junction, was around 37min at an average power of ~235W.
I've been slowly building up again to that same output as last year as daddy duties kept me off the bike for most of the quarter this year, but slowly getting there. |
My data from back then shows it's about 1780' in 6.4 miles, which would be more like 5.3%, but my numbers could be a bit off. North Gate was my training ride, used to go up there 3 or 4 times a week in the summer, and tried to summit at least once a week. I think about 34:00 was the best I ever did it, and it is indeed much harder than South Gate (about 1% steeper if I recall).
Good luck getting back up there for some rides, it's a great place!
