I don’t always climb to 4 corners, but when I do, it takes 3+ hours. Bring a picnic basket and your pillow for a nap. I’ll see you at the top!I know who my moneys on! Given some of the others previous form to 4 corners I'm picking its going to look a bit like this.... (@mtnbikej may or may not be part of it)

Take Maple Springs and I bet you can get there in 2 hours!

Strava says I've made that climb 94 times... I would have guessed more.100 times up the pavement, though.
58 times around the whole loop... I miss that route.
How much of a headstart do the older guys get?
I'm showing 139 since 2011.....but I'm sure it's more than that.

ZERO....but I will be in Sedona tomorrow for about the 100th time
But that means you've never done Joplin... It's sort of a cross between Middle Merrill and Sunset, but sketchier and steeper.
The cost of entry is high, so it gets a fraction of the traffic that the Luge gets...

Wait until I give up the beer and get into some kind of shape.
There's always the option to park and start at the upper lot at Four Corners. You'll need a ride back at the end, though...

Four times.... and you knew how much it would suck on #2, 3, and 4???
Maple was a one and done for me. I've done Joplin a bunch of times though. Fun trail.

then doing it 2x in a ride is a no go then?

Set it up from the start, and I will show up on my 12 speed.

Got 115 recorded rides going up Maple Springs plus x number of unrecorded rides. Then there's the rides that only included going down Maple Springs. Blackstar Santiago Peak Loop and the like.

Full disclosure - I did the shuttle version starting from the bottom of Motorway and ending at Cook's Corner. I didn't start and end at the Tree Farm.

Maple is a gateway dru..., er route. Useful to get to other things.

I think Middle Merrill is sketchier and Joplin isn’t really steep.But that means you've never done Joplin... It's sort of a cross between Middle Merrill and Sunset, but sketchier and steeper.

All y’all bitches didn’t ride with me tonight. And it was glorious anyway! 21.85/3,682’ Itchy-Scratchy with a full Marshall medley.
