      Suitable for most vehicles, don’t need 4WD, just a few loose sections. These estimates for time on a bike are whack lol. It’d take 30-50 min on an e-bike. Took me 45 min with my Fazua in a mix of low and medium so I had enough juice for two laps. 20 min would be over 20 mph average, you’d be pushing for that fast of a lap in a truck. If you’re the type of person willing to pedal this on a non-e-bike instead of shuttling, you’re probably fit enough to do it in about 90 min.

      Anyone have any info if the times listed below for pedaling match that of an analog rider? I saw a comment say 90 min and another with an e bike say 2 hrs…

      Curious how this climb compares to the fire road climb at Cold creek from the parking lot to the two towers? I do that one in about 90 minutes on an analog trail bike. Thanks in advance.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
