+1 for Ocean Lava! It reminds me of riding in Nova Scotia. Would love to see it continue along the cliffs in either direction. And I also like the Makuri some-of-everything routes.
Perhaps instead of just an Ocean Lava reverse, we could combine several best-loved roads in this thread: start downtown, head out through Titan’s Grove, up the reverse of the cliffside cutoff, and then back through the Esses into town. Slightly hillier than Ocean Lava with Titan’s Grove in there, but also takes the gentler way up to the cliffside.
I just did your Titan-Cliffside-Esses route an it was Great!
It took me 1hr 10 minutes at an average of 1.3W/kg.
My ride measured 24.6 km and 318 meters climbed.
I skipped the Italian Village by taking the bypass by the 360 deg bridge to get to the Esses. I think going thru the Italian Village would be just a bit longer.
