Start at the O'Malia's parking lot at 56th and Fall Creek.  Follow Fall Creek Parkway to some big hills around Fort Ben.

Note: The cue sheet is a little goofy when you get on 56th St.  You stop at Herbert Lord (5.29 mi.) and then cross 56th St. and ride on the sidewalk on the north side of 56th St.
