This ride starts at North Shore Park just before mile post 2 on Fall Creek Road. This is an out and back. After a short, gradual hill at the start, it is slightly downhill for the next 4 miles. At mile 6 there is a bridge crossing and from there the road subtly climbs to the pavement end at mile post 22.25. The ride goes through the 2017 Jones Fire (around mile 17) and the 2003 Clark Fire (mile 10). There are several photo ops along the way. This is a great early fall ride. Today the road was wet nearly the entire way even though rain stopped hours before the ride. Beyond mile 15 there are a few spots where trees had fallen across the road and were cleared, but small limbs still remained on the road. Ignore the 1700 feet climbing and max grade of 14.5%. The Garmin 830 continues to provide inaccurate elevation data. The actual climbing is about 1375 ft with a max grade of 8%, which is very short. Most of the grade is 5% or less.
