Check out the North Umpqua trail near Roseburg Oregon.
It's a 79 mile ride with 11 distinct segments. Including one called Dread and Terror. While I didn't see the total vertical feet listed on the site, the trail starts at around 1000 and tops off at 6000 feet above see level. Sounds like my kind of ride!
I've actually seen this trail while driving down the North Umpqua canyon on my way to my in-law's home. The canyon itself is a breath-taking drive. A white-knuckle drive if done at night.
In addition to the write-ups about the trail, the site is surprisingly well designed - especially considering that the BLM created it. I didn't expect the BLM to pull out all the stops and come up with such niceties as a Flash-based zoom-able map of the trail, or bother polishing the UI as much as they did. Kudos, guys.

You are such the speed guy. I remember you zooming down the trail on the east side of Vail Pass. That looked like a really fun ride. Too bad you had to ride the old bike while we got to ride in the van. :)
sounds like fun. I would like to add that to our list.
