I’ve been coming to this area for a long while now, but this past Saturday was my first time riding here. It’s more climbing than I typically do, and was an absolute blast. This is all within ~15 miles of my house or so.

The ride home was an entirely different experience from the ride up:



Wonderful scenery along the way:
