[NMCycling] Looking for a 6,800' Climb

[Howard L. Snell]

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
