Breathless Agony

Iconic Southern California CLIMBING event!

The timed course is just under 70 miles with over 10,000′ of climbing. Ride back down and you’ll cover 105 miles with 11,300′.

Starting in Redlands, you’ll enjoy some rolling hills as you cruise along to Beaumont and your first SAG stop. Then the suffering really begins… Miles of 8-10% grades up Oak Glen will get your heart pumping; and you might just glimpse the Grim Reaper on the way up. A fast and fun descent to Mill Creek Ranger Station and you’ll reach SAG Stop #2. Then up, up, UP you go… Grinding up the steady grades of Damnation Alley and then reaching the forest where you’ll continue your ascent to Angelus Oaks and SAG Stop #3. The climbing continues as you make your way past Jenk’s Lake to a short but sweet downhill reprieve. Then the final push to Onyx Summit will surely leave you breathless as you ascend to 8443′ above sea level. The Grim Reaper will greet you there! The clock stops and the party begins! Celebrate your victory over the toughest 70ish miles in Southern California! The Agony is rewarded with an 38-miles of mostly descending back to Redlands. Or arrange a ride from Angelus Oaks and nap in the car on the way down.
