FMR plus (for masochists)

I started a ride at the Berlin Park n Ride yesterday, from which I had intended to head towards Wachusett, but I decided instead to tackle Coburn Road, since it punches me in the gut every Friday morning. While warming up on the way over I realized that the FMR could be made a lot harder without adding a lot of time or mileage by adding a short loop that would hit Coburn again about 7-8 minutes after getting to the T-intersection at the top. If you turn right on Randall and follow the secret Coburn avoidance route in reverse, you are right back on the normal FMR about 2 minutes before the bottom of Coburn. Each additional ascent would only add about 11-12 minutes per loop.
