It is a technical decent. Enjoy the scenery, but stay alert. The trip around Lake Sherwood is like riding into a picturesque jig saw puzzle. Horse pastures and mansion abound on this mystical road that transverses the mountain between the valley and the sea. You will be on a roll here.

Hold on tight as you cruise down into the farmlands of Oxnard and on to Moorpark for a well deserved lunch. After lunch take an easy cruise through Oxnard and Port Huenme before heading back to the finish at Malibu. The Lowland route is offered for those first time double riders who may be looking for less hills than the Highland route. The price of avoiding the hills is increased urban riding with a little more traffic. The route provides an excellent introduction to double riding for the newcomer, but for a more challenging double century experience, you may opt to choose the Highland route.
