"A nice touch was the immensely steep street climb at the ultimate point on the route. From the top, the entire beauty of Boston was in view. Finally, the riders from New York, America's 'Rome,' could behold its 'Athens'."

"Boston is basically devoid of hills, largely because most of the earth that protruded above sea level was used to fill in the surrounding bays in the 19th century. So, Summit Avenue stands as one of the few great peaks in the Boston area and is routinely session-ed by local racers hoping to use it as some sort of allegory for the bigger climbs that are encountered around New England, or perhaps if they are particularly creative, imagining it as a finishing climb of Liege-Bastogne-Liege - steep, stepped and lined with brick residential buildings."
