Yeah, 15 or 16 miles would be fine - but that ridge makes it take much longer (and obviously makes it harder)!
It's Laurelwood Road heading over Bald Peak from the south. I just checked and it's about 900 feet of elevation change in 1 mile. Ick. Coming the other direction, it's 900 feet in about 3 miles - so much more manageable!
Edited to add:
OMG - I did the calculation. 900 ft over 1 mile is an average of a 17% grade!!! No wonder my car was struggling. I think we'll be taking the long way around most of the time.
