Day of PRIX (WeHo to VA via Mullholland and back, 35 miles)
by Matthew on Apr.05, 2009, under Training Ride
For this ride we met up on Sunset near Holloway in West Hollywood (which I bicycled to, which meant an immediate climb for the first 3/4 of a mile or so). We met in front of a restaurant, and then rode off down Sunset and climbed up to Mulholland via Franklin Canyon (with some very steep sections). After reaching Mulholland we had a beautiful ride along rollers along Mulholland over to the Skirball Center/Sepulveda Blvd, where we decended down back into the Westside, through the VA, before taking a break over near the VA. Following a short break, we started climbing back up Sepulveda (which was a lot more fun going down), back along Mulholland to Benedict Canyon (which I was VERY happy to see), with a nice decent back down to Sunset and over into West Hollywood.
This was a challenging but fun ride (especially after a 77 mile ride to PV yesterday), with some great views both into the Valley and the Westside. At the end point lunch was eaten, and a bunch of people got tattoos (not me though), for which the labor time was being donated to ALC. After resting for a bit, I had a nice decent back home. 🙂
