This route is a lollipop with two significant climbs and several water stop options. There are some great stretches of road with almost no auto traffic. But there are also some short stretches with traffic. The feature to me is the lollipop out of Lincoln. Some incredible stretches of road. The descent ( 6 miles) on Bush Valley Rd. out of Lincoln is pretty amazing. A buttery smooth scenic road. I highly encourage you to put this on your list
