Visiting Mission Viejo area over XMas
I'm going to be visiting in Ladera Ranch for a few days over XMas. I'm thinking of bringing my bicycle in the hopes of getting a couple of early morning 40-50 mile rides in, and am looking for route suggestions.
For reference, my normal ride is through Pebble Beach. About 40 miles and just under 2000 feet total elevation gain. I'd rather do more rather than less, but grades greater than 10% should be at a minimum. I have to stick to paved roads since I have narrow road tires only. I have a vehicle so I can ride a bit to a good starting point, if that's needed.
Looking forward to hearing about your favorite rides!
