All,

I've started my training for the KOM for next year and I'm looking at doing a ride in the Santa Monica's this Saturday considering that Palomar is closed here in Diego. I'm looking for some suggestions on the route that I'm planning on below. I'm using some of the Mulholland Challenge route but shorten it. I just don't have the stamina to do the entire '07 Mulholland route so basically, I want to eliminate as many flat spots as well as areas on this route where water and food (Quicki Mart etc) might be available. So here goes:

Start
1) Start Agoura Road + Las Virgenes Rd to Lost Hills Road (R)
2) Las Virgenes Road / Malibu Canyon Road (R)
3) PCH (R)
4) Latigo Canyon Road (R)
5) South Kanan Dume Road (R)
6) Mulholland (L)
7) Cold Canyon Road (R)
8) Piuma Road (L)
9) Piuma Road / Rambla Pacifico St
10) Las Flores Canyon Road (L)
11) PCH (L)
12) Topanga Canyon Road (L)
13) Fernwood Pacific Dr (L)
14) Fernwood Pacific Dr / Tuna Canyon Road
15) Tuna Canyon Road / Saddle Peak Road
16) Saddle Peak / Stunt Road
17) Mulholland (R)
18) Las Virgenesse Road (R)
19) Lost Hills Road (L)
20) Agoura Road (R)
END

So, any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,
