Sounds like the ride you're talking about has an even greater elevation. I will say that Lake Tahoe is beautiful and my husband and I really enjoyed our ride but we were out there for over 9 hours!! Good luck!!
Hmm it has 2600 feet of climbing which is not really all that much for the distance. I guess the kicker is that most of the gain is in two climbs.
It really is a beautiful area.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
