Take the 1 mile route over the hill to the 9 mile route. At this point take the 9 mile route back to the start and then finish with the 3 mile road.

  3. A 9 mile road around the hill to the other side with a 0% grade


Which do you take, and why?

Edit: that's 633 feet of climbing for choices 1 and 2, by the way.
