Many rolling hills gently climbing for the first half of the ride and then tending downward in the second half. The break at the Norman Winery makes this less difficult than it might otherwise be. Mostly country roads. Yep, they've got em. Never let it be said the Rally doesn't offer something for everyone.
Lunch is available at or near the zoo.
The ride very pretty whether you visit the zoo or not, but add in a visit to the zoo and you have a very delightful day. 1420 feet of elevation gain. Mostly country roads with some residential streets in Atascadero. All three options leave Paso Robles together heading to the coast along Highway 46. A long but mostly gentle uphill takes you to the top of Hwy 46 followed by a 7 mile downhill as you head into Cambria for lunch.
