Mt. Wilson Toll Road - Gravel Cycling in Los Angeles

Has the time changed? Are your Zwift rides getting boring? Ours were. So, last weekend we decided to take the gravel bikes into the mountains. Henninger Flats is a popular destination that's easily accessible by day hike or bikes, just North of Eaton Canyon in Pasadena. Henninger Flats also has access to Mt. Wilson Toll Road, which eventually connects to Mt. Wilson where there is a pit stop called the Cosmic Cafe (open on most weekends, check hours). Descending back down, there are a choice of routes (dirt or paved). This time due to a migraine and some weird vision issues, we decided to take the easy way down (Mt. Wilson Redbox Road to Angeles Crest Highway 2). If you're in the area, go ahead and try this route but be prepared for a lot of climbing! Wherever you are, make sure to always treat yourself nice, get outside, get some sunshine and some fresh air.
