Top: The first big climb started up Mulholland road named after this famous motorcyclist hangout and ride destination, the Rock Store Cafe. The climb was the longest at about 3 1/2 miles at 8% gradient average, with a couple of sections at 11%. The last mile was at 9% to the top. A very scenic climb with hairpins and rock overhangs. Below: the view from the top of Rock Store climb. This is the same climb that the pros will face in a couple of weeks when they ride Stage 8 of the Tour of California on May 23, that also starts and finishes in Thousand Oaks.
