Although the section was charming, it took its toll on me. The uphill road and the surface, commonly known as "washboard," certainly don't encourage me to revisit it. I think it could be called a masochist's route for bikes without suspension on the fork and saddle. Difficulty 6/10. Enjoyment 4/10 (only because of the views).

A bike path where kilometers disappear in the blink of an eye, and all you can hope for is that the next bend won't be the end. This is how it should be! Difficulty 1/10. Enjoyment 8/10.
