Helpful Hints
Like lambs being led to the slaughter, you will slightly roll down from 17.00 to the firehouse turn at 17.54. Drop is about 20 feet. After the hard right onto Commonwealth, the road is flat for about 1/10 of a mile before beginning a short, but steep 64 foot climb that crests right at the 18 mile mark. 2 hills down, 2 to go !
