PRAY FOR SPEED, The Descents: Mt. San Jacinto, Vandoit

We kicked PRAY FOR SPEED off with the mellower of the 3 descents, easing into the tour a little. The 74, or Pines to Palms Highway, runs down the west side of Mt. San Jacinto, and while it doesn t have steep gradients you re still able to clock fast speeds. The bends are open and sweeping, no surprises here besides the odd strip of raised tarmac. It s an all out pedal up on the first half before you re rewarded for your work with minutes of super smooth supertucking down into the valley. A perfect start to the trip. I don t think I touched the brakes once until pulling off the road to stop.
