It appears so. I have not ridden this entire route, but a couple sections of it that I am surprised they didn't give any warnings on. The first that I know of is a section of Pleasant Grove Road (which I am not a 100% on) but it is a small but tough little climb. It does have something written on the road as a warning - like time to Harden Up or something like that. The other one that I am more concerned with is about 1 mile after that on Mulligan Ford Hill; which is also a 50 mile an hour hill with a turn at the bottom of the hill & a quick stop sign. I hope that I wrong on this, because I was semi lost at the time & this was about 6 months ago, but I just remember going down the hill, really concerned & convinced there was no way I could climb that thing back up. But I have to assume they wouldn't put anything way too difficult - right?
