I'd take a couple hours to ride it.

 

Haieakula in Maui is 10,000 ft above sea level.  I have ridden it a couple times and it literally takes one an hour and a half to go from top to bottom -- mostly coasting,  It's pretty rad.

A lot of fun to watch the whole way.

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to stay on the skinny parts of the course and he must have practiced it many, many times to know where the sudden turns and short-cuts were.  His big edge was being superb going uphill.

His mastery of the uphills reminded me of the cross country team I coached where our school was surrounded by a lot of hills we did lots of hill work in practice and it paid off in races: nothing demoralizes an opponent more than being passed on an uphill.  Even when their bodies were screaming for a second wind on uphills, my team would push it there because of the effect on opponents.
