This route can be shortened by skipping the leg up to the 4 mile mark in Butterfield Canyon. If you skip that part, the route is 14 miles with just over 950 feet of climbing.
This route just goes up to the 4 mile mark in Butterfield Canyon before the really scary pitches and before the road narrows.
This is a C/D ride. You are welcome to come and ride faster on your own, but the ride leader will be riding a C/D pace and will be riding with the C/D riders and will go the route that they feel most comfortable with.
