Crain Hill Road is a killer on the way up. Pretty much stand on the pedals and hope the bike keeps moving forward. Everything else is a piece of cake. Be careful on M-22. It's a busy road, but the shoulder is broad and surface excellent.

This is a killer hill. Just when you think you've got it licked, it gets steeper and pretty much kills all remaining motivation. Do this three times and you'd have a great workout.
