Anyone doing this? My friend and I are driving up from Portland to ride it for the first time. Will we have fun? Is it worth the trip up?

I'm at the very least looking forward to getting to use my new birthday present - my bike's in the shop right now, getting upgraded from a 9 year old Campy Veloce 9 speed with a standard double crankset to a Campy Athena 11 speed with a compact double! Should help me on those hills, or at least that's what I'm hoping.
