County Line Road turns east and starts snaking down the steep hillside to Orestimba Creek.

With numerous switchbacks along the way, this one-mile segment of County Line Road drops down 500 feet in a mile, from about 1950 feet to 1450 feet. Hold on tightly!

I'll be riding back up this road in a few days and hope that it won't be one of those impossibly difficult hills.
