Well I went up there on a modern road bike with about 3 weeks notice and did it in 1 hour 50 minutes having done the Malaucene side that morning. I do a fair bit of road riding though!
Do the Malaucene side if you get a chance! It's a completely different challenge. I think it's probably a bit easier overall, though it does have a nasty 4k in the middle of the climb which sticks around 13%. It does flatten off after that though!
