It's a loop I knew was possible after biking up Montebello some 10 years back, but going all the way to Pagemill seemed a bit daunting. Turns out, it wasn't and it's only a 25 mile loop, albeit with a 2600ft climb.
(click on the garmin recording for more stats and a bigger map)
Here is the navigation track on google maps
Took about 25mn and 4 miles to get to the bottom of montebello (600ft altitude), and then we biked up. Jennifer did better on the way up than I did (last time, many years back, it was the other way around):
then up
more up
took about 1h from the bottom to get to ridge (4 miles, 1600ft climb)
welcome to the top before entering the preserve
not a terrible time for a 2000ft climb
new gogle campus
top of black mountain
2h, 2500ft up to the top
the hiking path was nicer
we got to pagemill in no time
nice views from pagemill
I know this turn from driving up, can't clip the apex on this one :)
We then got back to foothill and biked home:
Very nice loop, glad that we did it. |
