A classic climb and descent to give you the most bang for your buck in the Mice. Suitable for intermediate skill levels, but due to the length and vertical gain a bit more demanding on the fitness side. Most of the climb is steady and not too steep, however a few pitches are tough. The descent has occasional short technical challenges but is mostly low angle, wide, and smooth.
As with any ride in the Mice zone, be sure to bring a flat repair kit
