Just some photos of todays ride in Evergreen. I was actually in rare form. In other words, I was feeling really good.
Looks fantastic up there! But at 8500', I don't know how my sea-level blood would fare. (Very badly I suspect!)
It's only been a few days with no rain here in the Bay Area, but it was enough to go up the hill to Tilden Park and along the fire road that runs the crest of the hill. (The rest of the hillside turns into a sponge that changes the other trails into mudbogs.)
The 20 mile loop is a little over 2000' of climbing, but almost all the dirt portion is downhill. Lots of people were out enjoying the weather.

[censored]. I climb over 2000 feet in 2 miles on Mnt Falcon.
Your full of [censored]. Put up a profile of this 2 mile, all up hill, ~19 percent grade trail at Mount Falcon.
Castle trail has the greatest gain at 2095 ft., but it is a 10 percent average grade over its ~4 miles.
Parmalee has some ~18 percent pitches, but entire trail both up and down is only 2 miles.
