Has anyone done Cruisin the Conejo? (or doing it?)

[Fredwina]

I've done done it with CC.
The muholland section isn't bad - about like GMR or Glendora Ridge. The bad part was the descent done - way steep with a lot of sharp curves

Wow, Smiling Cat! I hope your riding partner was okay. OUCH!!! And the throwing up doesn't sound fun either.

I'm doing the full century, by the way.

So, Fredwina, you make it sound a lot better than this guy ...

Let’s just start out by saying that whoever put the word ‘Cruisin’ into the ride description has one sick sense of humor!


AND ...

The “real fun” begins right around mile 28 on old Mullholand Highway. Without warning the pitch of the road turns skyward. Some veteran riders say that parts of this stretch are in excess of a 13% incline. Once you hit that first pitch, it will not let up for 3 miles and once you reach the top, you climbed 1180 feet over those few miles.

So if it hits 13%, it must be for short bits, because GMR never hits 13 that I'm aware of. Your description makes me feel better since I know GMR. Doing it tomorrow, in fact. And if I can do Heartbreak Hill at like 80 miles into the ride, I'm sure I can handle this little bump on Mulhulland. Ha ha ha!!!

Thanks!
