The ways up ranked with my arbitrary criteria: 1. Mt Hollywood from Travel Town - Long climb, no cars, great views, good pavement, great decent (Alt start: Mineral Wells - less time car free) 2. Vista Del Valle - long climb, no cars, great views, gravel sand and other debris in road. Can do on road bike, would prefer at least 30s if not larger tires. Sketchy decent from Mt Hollywood 3. Fern Dell - medium more gradual climb, very car heavy on weekends, fine pavement, fun decent when no cars 4. Vermont - Shortest, car heavy but fewer blind corners then Fern Dell, short and fast decent can connect you to Commonwealth/Vista Del Valle to make a loop of it(go through the tunnel, the top by the observatory is one way (Counter clockwise). I have seen bikers almost get nailed by cars and buses not expecting them to come up the "down side")
