But the best part is the large horchata at Jilberto's Taco Shop after the descent. I probably did it around 20 times last year alone.
Awesome that you have support too!

I have a question for you OP, how were the road conditions? They seem to be more beat up (more potholes, etc.) every time I go out there.

Nice video. That brings back some nice memories of riding up that road on my motorcycle. Damn that was fun. It looks like the pavement is now a bit trashed in some places though.
BTW you are lucky to have your family supporting you like that. I think my wife would have left some water bottles by the side of the road and told me to find my own way home.
