Description

Stiff drop/climb at the top is fun one way, not as much the other although doable for some/many because it is relatively short. Other than that, a fun ridgetop roller with a bit of high point in the middle with gentle slopes to the south, and short stiff slope to the north. Chaparral, grassland, and forest, often with forest on the east side. Great periodic views of Tam headed toward it add to the anticipation and awe if heading up. Heading down, eyes are mostly glued to the route which has the occasional sand trap dips.

Great Views of the bay, SF, the Ocean along the way.

Most of the riding is manageable, but there are a few steep sections that most intermediate riders will have to walk.
