Default Long climbs in NJ revisited

Looks beautiful. And long. Does it require car support for descent or is it skiable the whole stretch?

Thanks,

Starting from the bottom (route 17 and 7 lakes drive), the bottom 2/3 are rise,
the last 1/3 (North of Tiorati circle) is descent. It's too steep for me to
think about roller skiing it. (If it's not snow, I don't want more than 10mph
max) On race road-bike, coasting speed down the descents can easily reach the
upper 20's. (nearby Lake Welsh Pkwy is steep, that is about 40-45 mph coast).
