The couple of miles along highway 287 have lots and fast traffic, but there is
a good shoulder. Turn left onto Owl Canyon Road to get back less traveled
routes, but expect the occasional truck to come by as they take that route to
or from the interstate without having to go through town.
I don’t know whether Pain in the Ass Pass is an actual name, but I was
introduced to this route by former pro rider Alex Hagman, and who am I to
argue with him about the name. Regardless, do this route in the spring when
everything is green and Red Mountain Open Space is, well, red. The contrast of
these colors as you climb going west over the pass on LCR 80, with the Park
Creek Reservoir below you, is fantastic. As you start heading back, stop at
the store in Livermore and have a cinnamon roll — some people call this route
the “Cinnamon Roller” for this reason. This is also the only place to get
water. From Livermore, you're on paved roads all the way home, and most of it
is downhill, so you'll be home relatively quickly.
