Montebello Road
Montebello Road is a 4.7 mile cul-de-sac very near our house. It ascends about to about 2500 feet above the valley floor with spectacular views, and our favorite winery: Ridge vineyards.
Why do I love the Montebello ride so much for biking? If you have about 15 minutes to spare and want to see why, join me vicariously on a spectacular descent that will be my ash memorial.
