I have been training for a 3 day ride with a lot of climbing (I leave today BTW) so I have been riding the mountain behind my house every week. It is 4000 ft up in 15 miles. My advice, warm up first nice and easy. Spin as easy and as much as you can. While on the climb, go easy and go at YOUR own pace. I like to stop every 3 miles for just a minute to shake out and stretch my legs. Set a short term goal and when you reach it, pat yourself on the back! You will do fine and just keep a big grin on your face, cuz it's fun!

How did it go in the Davis Mountains? Is there an organized ride or trail there? We've been to and through the Davis Mountains while visiting Big Bend. Seems like there would be some tough slogging!
Is the Enchanted Circle in New Mexico or does it have something to do with Enchanted Rock over near Fredericksburg, Tx.?

We missed the Enchanted Circle last year, but my husband and I did it the 2 previous years. We always have fun. BEWARE, Bobcat Pass is a killer!
Be careful going through Taos. The traffic doesn't seem to be too friendly to bikers.
