Benedict -> Hollywood Sign - Extended

Cycling Route

Details
49.94 mi
5,670 ft
Cycling is the perfect way to see Hollywood. This route will take riders up to famed and beautiful Mulholland drive, which features fantastic panoramic views of the city and San Fernando valley. Mulholland will dump riders out at the base of Mt. Lee, better known for the Hollywood sign. Riders will summit Mt. Lee and get a uniquely spectacular view from just behind the Hollywood sign. Following a twisty descent through the Hollywood hills and a brief stop for coffee and donuts, riders who choose to will take on the steep Sunset Plaza climb. This variation of the route once more travels along Mulholland before taking a quick and smooth descent down South Beverly Glen and re-summiting the ridge via Sepulveda. All that's left is the straight and rapid Skirball descent made famous by La Grange's Sunday Nichol's ride.
