Where did you get the gpx from?Finally moved in to the 21st century, i managed to download and use a GPX file. There's hope for me yet.

I almost did that ride last week and was using a gpx from when I did it about 5 years ago.
I came back along a busy road after the long singletrack section. Your route seems to skirt along side it.
Also remember it taking about an hour just to climb the Calf on my ebike
