As predicted, the weather was so so. But, we were determined to do Robinson Canyon Road as described by Jay. I'm always game to do a new ride. It was quiet and challenging. A jogger waved to me and exclaimed how impressed to see me climb. Didn't happen for The Boyfriend. What can I say....
First, you meander through the woods, doing rollers.
Then you climb and climb and hit an open area with nice views of the valley. Boy, I was feeling the burn. Easily 8 and 9% pitches for most of the climb and maybe a bit more here and there. For a time, the sky was blue but it quickly turned gray and chilly.
The BF took this shot of the end of this out and back ride. It's about 30 miles starting from the Carmel Valley Shopping Center. I didn't quite make it to end so I only did 27 miles. A good outing that left both of us feeling good.
