Photos West Camino Cielo third time
The trail follows the ridge line & then down to the ocean
The 1st 9 miles are brutal, the last 14 are all downhill
I started at 8:25…(2 yards into to the ride LOL)
I started where the pavement ends
The inland valleys were covered in fog
The trail startes with a sharp downhill
It drops to 2,637 so the climb to 4,000 is more
Fire damage
Brunt to a crisp
This is a innocent looking litle hill, but...
A hidden rut under the sand extracted the mountains revenge. As road rash goes, it was nothing!
Inland still in the clouds
Our destination is just beyond the communications site on the center hill
This is a rugged landscape
Getting closer but energy reserves almost gone
Somewhere out there is the Pacific ocean
Clouds lifted from Lake Cachuma
Getting closer, but running out of time
Finnaly the top
The last 8 miles was a hard climb
I got there with 6 minutes to spare
The Iphone is not a great long range camera :(
1/2 mile from top, dirt becomes a real road
I can finally see my ocean destination, and its all downhill
Refugio Beach
waiting on Dave to come pick me up
