It started off on loose sand and quickly came to a crazy step elevated path. So much that we had to make the hike up with the bikes. You;ll find out later there's a paved road around this climb maintained my the LA Public Works Yard. Once we got over the hump, we were greeted with leg-ripping rollers that always seemed to have a positive incline. We powered out for a solid hour and a half with grades hitting 9%. You know you climb a ton when your out is 1.5 hours and your back is less that 30 minutes.
Luckily we found a relaxing spot to enjoy the views. Pretty sure I needed to shower at least 5 times for even looking at this chair.
We turned around and powered down over the dry loose sand and headed back to home base. We didn't rack up a ton of mileage during this ride, but i got the heart rate up in the 170's and it took more effort that a 3-4 hour road bike ride.
