One of my favorite local rides. Don't be fooled by this one though. One might think of it as 30 miles of riding up a canyon, turning around, and coasting back home. So not true. You'll have to work both ways on this one. The ride climbs up a beautiful and rugged canyon. The road is home to rural families and ranchers. Ranch vehicles and motorcycles are common on this route. The ride is fairly remote. At the junction is a little oasis called....The Junction. :-) You can refuel here. The Junction is sort of a hangout for all travelers -- including road bike riders and motorcyclist who enjoy racing or tour the twisty roads.
