I ride almost two miles north on Black Canyon Road before turning right on a shortcut road that I've not ridden before

The shortcut to Cedar Canyon Road will remove about a mile of riding and 100 feet or so of descent and elevation gain. Unknown roads like this one are best taken in the downhill direction the first time in case they turn out to be impassable.
