- This is a route where the meat of it is just snaking the Avenues... down C St., up D St., down E St., up F St. Intermittent steep climbing. If you do the base route (as mapped), you'll climb about as much as in Millcreek Canyon. You are free to modify based on what fits you best, though; for example, you can cut the longer climbs off at, say, 8th Ave instead of 11th. I also know ways to add difficulty, if you want. Just ask for details at the preride brief. Also I don't care what the spellchecker says----I am not hyphenating "preride."
