Terrain & Riding

From the comments section:
“The first major climb feels like it lasts forever but you’re rewarded with a view to the east at the top.” – Keith
“At the top of the first climb, there is a logging turnout on the right that you can view 4 Mts from. Definitely, worth the stop, we almost missed it.” – Melissa
“The climbs are punchy, but the downhill flows are worth it!” – Nathan.

Based on the comments below, this route appears to have 5 Star qualities. We sure could use your help with:

  • a bit more route detail (road texture on different segments, views, hazards, etc.)
  • pictures and videos.
