Ride Summary
Intermediates will enjoy the ride at any pace, and advanced riders will get a kick out of it as a sprint, especially the backside. This is a nice Blue Square ride in a clockwise direction and moves up to a Double Blue Square when ridden counter-clockwise.
There’s a steady 2.9 mile climb from the beginning, but it’s not particularly steep, and there are relatively few switchbacks. There are only a couple sections that might be considered technical. The downhill to the backside of the ride is fast and tight, and there are a few more switchbacks, but it’s all good fun.
