Talk about Little Roads

Some of the most beautiful little roads in the country are included in the 2011 Tour of California as the race hits the heart of the Central Coast on Stage 5. Steep, narrow, twisty, gorgeous, including the grueling ascent up Santa Rosa Creek Road and technical descent on Peachy Canyon into Paso Robles. Wow!

You can see a bit of what the racers are in for. Check out the profile from Cambria up Santa Rosa Creek Road as they head toward the finish in Paso Robles. 2 1/2 miles pretty much straight up. Well, almost.
