Cruz de Tejeda cont'd #17


Summit at Cruz de Tejeda, intersection of GC-15 and 150....

Some statistics on this ride – Distance was 66K, with total climb of 1881m, topping out at 1550m.

I thought Cruz de Tejeda was higher, but it is actually a few meters less.   It is just that the climb is much steeper.
The climb up Cruz de Tejeda is as much as 16.5% grade – but as the road sign said, 12% average.   It is the length of it that is a killer.


Was not really sure of what to expect, despite the research I did earlier, but safe to say, this ride beat all my expectations.
