And depending on the direction, it's either a screamer downhill into a hairpin turn on the south side, or a double-digit grade up from that corner. Ouch.

Compare those two alternatives to the original route

Both those alternates have a lot more climbing! Could be pretty darn brutal weekday race!

Here are 2 alternate routes that were kindly sent to me earlier:

[ http://veloroutes.org/bikemaps/?route=8444 ]http://veloroutes.org/bikemaps/?route=8444 Lap: 1.6-miles, 401-Ft of climbing
[ http://veloroutes.org/bikemaps/?route=8446 ]http://veloroutes.org/bikemaps/?route=8446 Lap: 1.9-miles, 309-Ft of climbing

I am thinking of mixing it up this year--maybe we do different routes, twice each, over six races? Have to see what the Parks Dept. says.
