I don't think in that case it did.
I've ridden Lake Tahoe with no problems and twice in Denver, one bad, one good.
That sun Valley Ride was like this:
Miles:
0-24: 2% up
24-30: 6% up
30-34: 6% down
34-50: 2% down
turn around
50-66: 2% up
66-70: 6% up
70-76: 6% down
76-100 2% down
I ride the last 24 miles solo, and carried a good clip, considering I had only been on a road bike for about 6 months.
Denver was the worst. MTB at Lair-o-the Bear I think it was called. Climbing right out of the gate. Not good.
The other Denver trip was North Table Mountain in Golden. That was the shit. Straight from the airport, first flight EWR->DEN, rent car, get bike in Golden and ride. Took clients to Rockies/Yankees game that night. That one was awesome. No altitude problems. Pivot Mach 429 Trail. Would do again.
