    Good idea. I agree on Clubhouse.

    Niguel would be good to add after Highlands.

    I calculated the grade to be about 8% overall from Alicia/Niguel to the top of Niguel.

    While Eastwing/Westing (off Aliso Creek on the way back) aren't as impressive they are worth considering.

    Wolverine Way (also off of Aliso Creek) which leads to the local high school has a nice grade that I've calculated to be around 10%.

    I should probably stop now...

    I'll do some recon soon and supersize this glorious ride we have all come to love.
    Goal is 10,000 feet. It's on like donkey kong.
    I have heard and thought about doing it backwards but I think it would be cooler to add on new blood rather then repeat.

    I keep talking about doing it and then reversing it, more climbing than VQ! If anybody does it, post it and I'll try to come. A hard day for sure!

    I actually took the time to drive the route yesterday and found 4 streets that would be worthy of adding on. My guess at this point is this would make the ride about 8000 feet, I'll ride it and report back. :)

    Eleven Sisters has a nice ring to it! Lemme know when you want to attempt this. I'll make sure not to eat Korean Food the night before!
