Many in the club conflate quantity of miles with quality. This route is short but sweat (sic)—only 36 miles; but don’t be misled by its short distance: it is exceedingly challenging unless you’re an easy climber. 

Up Booth, up Morrow, up Next Day, up Speer, up Churchill, up Leroy-Buckingham, up Walnut, with grades of 10,12, 14, 16, even 18% in spots.  …With the uphills coming pretty much one right after another. And the surprise is you're never far from home, never more than 6.5 miles from the bridge.
