Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Ride

Yes, this ride definitely had a split personality! The ride started with a great route out to Santa Barbara. From there, things got interesting. The second part of the ride was recommended for the experienced riders. The route headed up Gibralter to the ridge above San Marcos Pass. As predicted, the road was a mess. It was full of potholes the road turned and twisted as it climbed up the 10 plus miles to the summit. The good part was the holes were easy to avoid. While the road was torn up, it wasn’t loose or full of gravel.

So why did we go? The view was absolutely amazing! Once at the top we ate our picnic lunches before heading back down Painted Cave Rd.
