Thats almost identical to the dimensions of a race one of my buddies did this past weekend. It was 3 laps of 16 miles and 1,500 feet each. He got dropped on the second lap after dropping his chain twice on the big climb when the guys were hammering and couldn't make his way back. He soloed the last 30 miles in TT mode.
That's reason #311 why I don't plan to race. I can do a solo 40 mile ride anytime I want without paying money to do so.
