Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Maybe my message to purge off-road cycling from your life is finally getting out there.

I used to climb and descend this trail but the last 2 or 3 times out there I have climbed the shallower way up and only done the descent. I guess I have purged that climb. The video doesn't show how steep it really is.

Guadalasca Trail (sycamore canyon) - YouTube
That's generally my choice, any time the option is available.

What we used to do was climb Guadalasca, the one in the video, then descend Backbone to the valley floor, go out to the beach, then there are lots of options for the return trip. Are you familiar with the area?

Only vaguely. I rode Sycamore once about 20 years ago. I remember the ride being really awesome.

Definitely. SS makes you vividly aware of the grade, for sure.

Paved roads became widespread when bicycles became popular.

Coincidence? I think not.
