Another long road trip for the Alfa Romeo! Here she is with my lil' race bike, taking a short break at a rest stop just north of Santa Barbara.

[Mile 17, 6:21am] Now for the bicycle ride: here is its namesake, the world-famous Mulholland Highway east of Malibu, California.

[Mile 26, 7:08am] Homes lining Malibou Lake, a man-made lake created in the 1920s. What a lovely place to live!

[Mile 47, 9:03am] As the morning showers and fog burned away, cyclists were treated with stunning vistas as the undulating Mulholland Highway carved its way through the Santa Monica Mountains.

[Mile 52, 9:24am] A quarter of the way through the ride, the #1 treat of the day: a dramatic, 11% descent down Deer Creek Rd. towards the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

[Mile 55, 9:37am] Felix at the Sycamore Cove checkpoint by the beach. Despite being a little under the weather all week, not to mention somewhat out of shape, I was starting to feel pretty darn good.

Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.
