American River Bike Trail Gradient

Hello all!

I've been riding the ARBT for about 3 months now. For me the steepest grade of the trail has to be the climb up Hazel Ave when descending from Folsom Lake on the north side of the trail. Once you get to Hazel Ave and try to access the east side of the there are 2 choices, the easy and the hard. Does anyone know what the grade of the hard section is? Its probably less than 200 ft but its a steep climb to the stop of Hazel Ave overpass.

I've been trying to look online for any information I could find and search the forums but all I could find where elevations. There are posted signs on the trail of grades up to 7 (might be an 8 but don't quite remember) in some short sections, but not in other areas.
