The Tour De South Side

Satellite photos courtesy of Google Maps

Here is a short bike ride that will test your limits without leaving the South Side. I am calling it "Tour De South Side" because it does encompass most of the area and it contains nothing but hills similar to the mountain stages in the real Tour De France (but in miniature). I tried to find the steepest routes to the summit and made them all climbs. The long gradual roads are used for the descents. One lap is only about ten miles long and if done wihout stopping can take less than one hour. So far no one has done two laps in a row but it is bound to happen someday.

Synopsis:

Up Sycamore.
Down PJ Mcardle.
Up 12th, Brosville, Monastery, St. Thomas, E. Warrington.
Down 18th Street.
Up Greely, Gomer, Sterling, Eleanor.
Down Josephine.
Up Barry, Holt, Eleanor.
Down St Patricks', 18th Street.
