About this road

The deep hollows. Mount Hope, Millville and Woodman, in the folded country north of the Wisconsin. The curviest of the twelve: the road follows the hollows because there is no practical way to cross them, and the result is sustained cornering rather than a few notable bends. The climbing is relentless by the measure used across this corpus, and the figure is not a flourish — it is the per-mile average.

How it rides

103 corners over 46.6 miles — 2.21 a mile, and 223° of turning for every mile ridden. That scores CS-5, Technical on the five-point curviness scale. 43% of those corners are sharp ones, and the road reads as mixed.

What it climbs

The road climbs 3,236 feet in total, 69 feet per mile, between 639 and 1,207 feet — 568 feet of relief. The longest single climb is 377 feet over 1.4 miles, and the steepest grade on it is 10.3%. For this country that is relentless.

Surface, speed and traffic
