    I haven't ridden all the way up in nearly ten years, so I have no stats from my Edge yet, but I'd say it's about 9.5 miles and 4,700' or so.

    If you're lucky, you may run into "Murph" on his chopper on your way up or down from Henninger.

    This is great news! I remember before I got into mountain biking doing an over night back hike up the Toll road.
    Who knew a few years later I'd be biking up it in a couple hours! :lol:
    I also remember I used to set up sun rise rides to the top on the day of the Pancake breakfast! We'd get back down in time to feast on pancakes and schmooze with the bike celeb's! That was so fun!
