On our way to Amboy Crater, I was remarking that this would be a great bike ride. She then reminded me "you want me to drop you off here and meet you there?" I was like "oh yeah!" So she dropped at what happened to be the top of the pass about 28 miles from the crater and the "town" of Amboy, Ca. So here is the start...

Somewhere after the first hill...iPhone Cam pics do not belie the crazy hugeness and beauty of the place!

Again, iPhone cam failure...

The road was extremely smooth the whole way...must have been newly paved.
