Picking up the Tucson loop at Oracle N the trail is just wonderful (as most of the Tucson loop is). The climb up Gates pass is easy with a big rest area at the top. Then wow! what a decent! Fast, steep and a bit unexpected. Not a problem, the road surface is good. That is the point of max grade but the posted (26/29%) is wrong max is about 14% with a small section of sustained 8-10%
climb on the way back. Continue on to the McCain loop witch gives free access to a beautiful section of the Saquaro desert without having to pay $15 per cyclist. On the way back you can visit Old Tucson (entry fee) and attack Gates pass from the steep side. I hooked to the right towards Tucson center on the way back and enjoyed another section of the Tucson loop. Superb ride in cool January. Note: the location of the pics on the map is wrong, see comments under pictures.
