Nice climb, and at least the best mountain within century-ride range of Boston. There are two descent sections that deflate the avg gradient to 4.6%, but most of the climbing is at about 5-6%, with a few short sections that ramp up to 10-12% as well. The visitor's center with water and bathrooms is nice to park at ($6 per car I think?) if you are driving; you can warm up with a ride down and around the large reservoir and come back to finish with the mountain. The climb is only moderately challenging, but the foothills around the mountain to get to the start point can also get quite steep. There are always a good number of pedestrians and pets to watch out for on the descent down the narrow-ish one-way road back to the visitors center. The road surface on the first half of this route (before the visitor's center) is not the best, but also not the worst.

So we parked at keys brooks waterfall, then did this route...was great in the fall! The side roads basically have little to no traffic and starts off with a short good incline...So the steepest side road was Pine Hill road. If you do Wachusett Mountain road after Halloween or in the Spring before Memorial Day, it is great because cars are not allowed up the route and its free!
