How it rides

What it climbs
The road climbs 869 feet in total, 57 feet per mile, between 727 and 1,035 feet — 308 feet of relief. The longest single climb is 228 feet over 0.9 miles, and the steepest grade on it is 9.9%. For this country that is relentless.
Surface, speed and traffic
Paved end to end. 55% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 45% state or US route. Posted speeds run to 55 mph, typically 55, measured across 74% of the route. State traffic counts cover only 2% of these miles, too little to put a number on, which is itself a fair sign of how quiet they are.
