Ride 4: Chain of Craters Climb

Route Map

After a much needed rest day, it was time for the Chain of Craters climb. This day was going to be little more than a lengthy climb. 10 miles of riding to a lookout point 2,000 feet up. Starting out was flat and windy.



There is a flat area closer to the coast and then a ridge which has most of the climbing.



It’s mostly old lava flows, so it’s nice to be able to see where you came from.






There was a lookout at around 2000 feet. I don't have any good photos of the lookout, but here's the 2000 foot sign.



The descent had maybe one turn in it.



Then it was back onto the flats, where the wind had really picked up. Then it was the literal end of the road.
