How it rides
20 corners over 16.1 miles — 1.25 a mile, and 139° of turning for every mile ridden. That scores CS-2, Easy on the five-point curviness scale. 57% of those corners are sharp ones, and the road reads as tight.
What it climbs
The road climbs 1,153 feet in total, 72 feet per mile, between 855 and 1,260 feet — 405 feet of relief. The longest single climb is 225 feet over 1.2 miles, and the steepest grade on it is 12.0%. For this country that is relentless.
Surface, speed and traffic
Paved end to end. 70% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 30% state or US route. No posted speed limits are recorded for these roads. 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.
