The old La Rumorosa grade was my intended route (going up it) this past fall, but mechanical difficulties forced me to scrub that trip. I'm thinking
this October or November it is going to be on my to do list!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I think I rode the whole trail? We ended just North of Catavina and started the single track at the mud hills? Did I miss something? It was an awesome
trail and made me happy that I had installed the Rekluse on the 500 before this trip...

JZ, Just before the toll road heads down the mountain is the turnoff. You turn off to the right and a little later turn right onto a dirt road and
follow it down.

After you get down you can follow the arroyo toward the hwy and there is a road that goes east before the hwy. I suggest you get past the military
checkpoint on the hwy before trying to get on the hwy.
This may be a better view of the turnoff.

Thx. For some reason I can never figure out how to enter GPS coordinates in the format you are using.What is format is: 32-33 13 x 116-02 51?
Edit: looks like I need to put a zero at the end.
Highway turn-off
32° 33.130'N
116° 2.510'W
Turn off to the dirt
32° 33.130'N
116° 1.990'W

There are all kinds of crazy roads down there. Is it pretty obvious which way to go when you are on it? Looks like about 9 miles, but not quite as
many switch backs as I expected. How far East is the checkpoint?

Ok, this bottom route looks a little more interesting. About 12 miles.

The bottom red image is the grade. I don't remember what is on the top more straight image.
