This is the standard 12 mile Blue mountain loop. Most commonly ridden in the clockwise direction but both directions work well. The climbs are moderate, relative to this area, and the same could be said for the decents. You do have to contend with the Lance Creek crossing but it's not a technical crossing. Just be aware if you're riding in cold weather because your feet will likely get wet.
