Today I climbed Mulholland Highway from the Rock Store then took Latigo Canyon Road to PCH and back. The note at the beach said "Latigo 9.2 mi 2,250 ft" then I can add to that the climb on Mul. Hwy. which is 2 miles and 768 ft according to mapmyride.com. I did Latigo in about 45 minutes since I was just ejoying the ride and spinning rather than standing and pushing a tall gear.
Piuma Road (which I did yesterday) is 8.04 mi and 2,165 ft of climb to the top of Stunt. I am not sure if those numbers are elevation changes or total climbing but it has been a good week of cycling, especially the today and yesterday.
Both rides had dense marine layers such that I could only see about 50 ft. in front of me. That and the wet road made for an interesting descent on Latigo Canyon near the top! It cleared up for the descent on Mul. Hwy. today, though.
There is great scenery on both roads and also fun, twisty turns. I love living so close to the Santa Monica Mountains.
