My shortest climb took 69 reps. Dont like very much the descent part or better the restart of the climb after the descent so I prefer longer climbs.

Sounds good.
I did the Dragon Gran Fondo last year as well. Are you in Wales, what climb are you looking at?
We’re looking at the Bwlch from Treorchy side (the climb that is part of the Dragon route). It’s pretty consistent and would be about 38 climbs. I’m half tempted to aim for 42.5 to make it a 10km climb. We know the total distance for 8848 would be around 320km. Long old day!

I used to live in North Wales (many years ago) and am now in Hampshire. The climb I’m targeting is a local short climb (a third of a mile with 139 feet vertical ascent at around 8% average grade).
The Bwlch is a great climb
