It's a century with a fair amount of climbing (though not 10,000 meters, I admit) - Portland to Hood River via Mt. Hood and 4 microbreweries. We also stop at Joe's Donuts in Sandy. :-) You might want to check out Bikes ‘n’ Brew.

But one of the main reasons I liked that ride was I thought it had one of the coolest looking jerseys (in addition to being a tough ride). If it becomes just a tough ride, then I have a lot of new options to consider as well. So far I have three other ideas that I'm discussing with my uncle (my riding buddy).

Just because the formal ride has been canned doesn't mean the route has disappeared. Go DO it! Why don’t you just do it anyway?

Basically 70 miles of up and 30 miles of down - with a total elevation gain of over 10,000 feet. PWTC is creating a new ride that may replace the Torture 10,000 - but it's called the Mt. Hood Hooha. Now I ask you - would you rather build your season around a ride with the word Torture in it or with the word Hooha in it? Somehow the new ride just doesn't seem gnarly enough...
