Subject: [NMCycling] Looking for a 6,800' Climb

New Mexico Cycling Colleagues:

I'm looking for a steady 6,800' climb, preferably dirt.  It's one of those odd birthday goals that attracts some of us once we can't keep up anymore....

I thought Water Canyon from Socorro to the Langmuir Lab would do, but it's a 1,000' short, as is Sandia Summit from the river via Placitas and 165.

I'm not looking for multiple climbs that would total 6,800', rather one climb (some dips along the way are fine).  Any type is fine - single track, jeep, forest service, BLM roads etc.  The less pavement the better.

My time frame is pretty loose so travelling a bit is fine.  Silver Canyon from the Owens River up towards the Patriarch Forest in the White Mountains qualifies, but damn, that's steep!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Howard Snell
