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):
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
I know this turn from driving up, can't clip the apex on this one :)
