After several months with the stupid back injury, I finally went up and did a reverse loop of one of my favorite stretches of Mulholland Highway.
Here is a link to my Garmin ride stats – YES I know I was morbidly slow but I am just getting back out there. AT LEAST I FINISHED IT. 🙂
Here are some pics from my beautiful ride.
I didn’t want to make a second trip while packing up my car. This is a perfectly acceptable place for an iced coffee.
Going onto Mulholland after biking by Paramount Ranch 🙂
What a beautiful day! Starting point of my ride
So..beautiful

And of course, it’s never a true Mulholland ride unless you get the photographer enthusiasts to take pics of yah:
Oh hai there, Mulholland highway photographers!
Coming down the switchbacks. Much nicer than getting my pic taken while I heave my ass UP the hill.
My cat LOVES it when I go biking… mostly because she likes to roll around my stinky clothes.
Slow? You mean you enjoyed being on your bike and everything was around you. That’s how I feel when I take it easy. When I push myself to the max I don’t get to enjoy what is around me and it’s not as fun.
You make a great point. I felt guilty for even stopping to take the pictures, but it was just so nice out. Now I appreciate the nice pictures.
I am one of the type of people who carry a camera with them just because I’ll be riding hard and one second later I will stop to take a picture of everything. I’m not a pro and what’s 2 seconds to enjoy life going to do? I love riding and unless you take time to enjoy it, it is no fun.
You are 100% correct. I use my camera phone; I’m tempted to get a gopro. Then you will have all the footage!
Oh haha well…I bought a cam for my bike and then I did a typical me thing and bought a second one for the rear. When I am at my desktop I will link you to my vids.
Yes, please do!!

I have more videos on there too. It is so addicting now.
OH MY GOSH THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have the route available via like, mapmyride or Garmin?
I don’t have this ride on strava. My friends did the ride and borrowed my camera. I had to work but normally I a. The one with the camera. My other routes are on strava.
