Nope. I went *up* Sullivan this time -- the reverse of the other day. I did it in go-fast mode to see how quickly it might be done without lots of stopping. About 1.5-2 hours round trip.
Doing the loop in reverse saves you the massive gradient (you know what I'm talking about), but you buy yourself a long, steady, unrelenting climb to the top. No rollers, no respite, until you get to where we parted ways the other day. I could have made it easier on myself by taking it slow and steady, but I was duking it out with some mountain bikers who were blazing fast. My lungs were in my throat. Great fun!
