Twisty Twistiness

Paved Surface

The twistiest stretch of the winding road through the Santa Monica Mountains from Calabasas toward the coast, a long-standing favourite for riders around Los Angeles.

SeasonSpring and autumn; weekdays are quieter

Tight, technical and busy at weekends. It twists through the hills with short straights and constant corners, and it is a well-known gathering route for riders.

The road is watched by police and shared with cyclists and cars, and the surface can be patchy. Ride it as a technical road rather than flat out.

Check conditions after rain and fire season, when closures and debris are possible.
