Kings Mountain Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Kings Mountain Road arrives about one mile into the descent portion of your loop. This is a narrow and very twisty road that descends for a little over four miles without a break. The overall average grade of this descent is about -7.5%. The first three quarters of the descent (before the entrance of Huddart Park) is a two-lane road divided by a dash yellow line down the middle, where I'd qualify the lane widths as "fair", though there are no marked shoulders. The last quarter of the descent is divided by double yellow solid lines and features lines marking the outer edges of the lanes, but the shoulder space outside those lines (if any) hardly ever exceeds a foot in width. The pavement is quite good and is almost never broken. The descent is fast and exhilarating, with almost all of it taking place under moderate tree cover. While car traffic on this road is very light, it's not non-existent. Make sure you keep that as well as the popularity of this road with cyclists in mind as you decide which speed you should maintain through this descent.

Kings Mountain Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Plenty of hairpins so watch your speed on the downhill. Overall it's less trafficked near the top than it is near the bottom, as you might expect.

Lobitos Creek Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It has several more minor ups and downs along the way. It's nothing that could be considered challenging, though, and you soon settle into the valley of Lobitos Creek and end up almost back at Highway 1 via a mildly twisty descent.

Lower Kings Mountain Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Steep road dropping from Skyline Blvd to Woodside, with mostly smooth pavement but no shoulder. The lower section has a few bad pavement spots, and many horse riders on the side trails

Woodside Store (Historic Site)

Highlight • Historical Site

Trails looping around and through the open air pioneer settlement museum. Even if inside displays should be closed it's interesting and some buildings have windows to peek through
