That is a little leg stinger. This is yours truly, riding up it for a Sonoma County promotional photo shoot.
The road was used in one of the Tour of California stages. You can see "BMC" painted on the road.
That's the one! It's not the longest climb, but it has a grade that just won't quit! That said, rising up 800ft, almost straight up from the shoreline, is a magnificent site. I rode it twice as part of Levi's Gran Fondo, and it was one of the segments that made that ride truly special.
