Description
This road ride takes you from Half Moon Bay, up to and along Skyline Blvd, and then finally down Tunitas Creek Road. The climb is around 3000 feet and is constant ... there's absolutely no break throughout the 6-mile climb. The 7-mile descent is also nonstop, so make sure you're wearing a good pair of gloves to handle the constant braking. The way down through the redwoods is very beautiful, and the temperature change is quite dramatic.
