Some of the Usual Saturday Morning Valley Ride Suspects: William, Aram, Me & Pix.
We were also accompanied by a new Valley Ride Suspect named Kerri. Kerri was a great sport throughout this very long and seemly never ending hill ride. She never gave up the fight, even when she thought she couldn't go any further up the hill. This was also a new ride for me and I quickly learned that Piuma Road is a continuous 7 mile climb at 4% grade. This scenic canyon road snakes its way to the top of a mountain that over looks the Ocean.
After climbing to the top of Piuma Road we were rewarded with views like the one shown above. The blue area just beyond the far hill is the Pacific Ocean and I think the road directly below that is cuts into the hillside is Topanga Canyon. (I could be wrong)
After completing this ride, I traveled over to the Hansen Dam Aquatic Park to pick up the "Hawthorne Placers" Relay Race packet. The "Hawthorne Placers" - Me, Richard & Shannon will be racing tomorrow morning and will be at the race site by 6:15 am for the 2nd annual Hansen Dam Sprint Triathlon.
