The route is mostly flat, I think it's about 50/50 asphalt and dirt road, but definitely seeing the mountain from afar and then standing right in front of it is the best thing that can happen to you. On this route, you have to be careful with drivers. On Sundays, you'll find a lot of cyclists, and even more on the mountain because it's a popular spot for fellow riders and motocross enthusiasts. Enjoy the place, stay hydrated, and always wear a helmet.
