To give you some ideal as to the relative difficulty of each route, I have combined distance and altitude gained. Some may have more trouble with hills then I do, and would weight the vertical more. My rating is distance + alt gain/100. For perspective, the 75 mile, 3,756 foot route at Blanco scores half what the triple bypass in Colorado (120 miles, 10,000 ft) does, and l'Alpe d'huez (from Bourg-d'Oisans to the top) scores below mid pack.
