Well, I finally did it. After riding for more than 2 years, I finally rode all of Mulholland in one day. Started at the PCH and ended at Ventura/Cahuenga in Hollywood. Always wanted to do that! Was very cool to get over the whole thing all at once. I went down Ventura when I got to the dirt-section of Mulholland.

I also took a little trek down Yorba Linda.

What an amazing road that is. If you are in the mood to ride 20MPH and take in some amazing scenery on a completely deserted road, it's a fantastic choice. The road conditions are very poor. As a result, it's not a road you will be blazing through the twisties upon. There is a swath of gravel up the centerline over almost the entire road and the asphalt is rough and cracked and bumpy. But, as I said, if you are in the mood for a leisurely cruise through beautiful scenery with zero traffic, that is the road for you.

Forgot to take my camera. Which annoyed me because I had intended before I left to bring it along. Ah, well. But, hey, at least I did all of Mulholland and found a great "isn't this beautiful? let's-make-out road" for cute female passengers...

That's cool...definitely a fun road overall, if a bit dirty in places.

I ride Mulholland a lot. Namely between Hollywood and the 405.

<==== por ejemplo (http://www.socalsvriders.org/modules.php?set_albumName=albuy86&op=modload&name=Photo_Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php)

My parents live right near where Mulholland pops into Cahuenga. So I used to drive up there all of the time.


It is a dirty road, and it isnt that well kept, but it is fun once you memorize which turns are the closing-radius and typically dirty ones.

Sometimes the traffic is annoying, but once in a while a nice ride home from work on Mulholland is more fun than lane splitting the 101 to the valley.

I take it all the time, between the 405 and Cahuenga. I work right underneath it, so on days when I ride to work I'll sneak up there for a quick lunchtime ride.

Westbound at Coldwater gets a little clogged sometimes, but otherwise yeah it's a fun leisurely ride.
