Singlespeeder,

The ride mapped in the link you posted is kind of part of the Tuesday Hills Ride, which is a tough A grade level training ride. If after you climbed Scenic Dr you turned right down Youll Rd then, at the bottom, turned left to travel to the bottom of Sunhill Dr, then climbed back to the top, that would be close to the Hill Ride east of the Pacific Hwy.  Ride it on your 48-16!  If you can you are better than me - I would struggle to climb parts of Sunhill Dr on my 48-16.

DANGER points in your mapped ride -

  • Descending down Memorial Dr can be dangerous - higher speed, dopey drivers and a complex traffic layout mean you may not be noticed
    Cars travel up Scenic Drive at higher speeds, and may be hugging the apex in the lane you are climbing in.
    Descending down Scenic Drive can be dangerous when cars become impatient.
