Turnbull Revisited (Short & Hilly)

Distance: 37 miles and 1400 feet of elevation gain (mapping software)

This Hilly short starts out with the long and medium as they head into Whittier and up and over Turnbull Canyon (the spike at the beginning of the profile). After completing the Turnbull climb, this route simply makes a very flat loop taking them north through West Covina, Baldwin Park and Temple City where they stop for lunch. Then it is back south to the start using the Rio Hondo bike trail back to the Whittier Narrows area.  On the map, the blue indicates the portion unique to this Hilly Short (the climb over Turnbull) and the pink indicates the portion in common with the Flat Short. As you can see by the profile, the climb over Turnbull is the only climb of the day.
