After my 45-minute break at Kelso Depot, I begin the next segment of today's ride: Kelso-Cima Road toward the New York Mountains

During the next 14.5 miles, which are nicely paved, I'll rise from 2100 feet here at Kelso Depot to about 3700 feet at the base of Cedar Canyon Road.

Even though Kelso-Cima Road is often empty, the moderate amount of fast-moving traffic here, coupled with the lack of a paved shoulder, requires that a cyclist be attentive.
