At the top of the first ridge on Coit Road (around 2400 feet), I note a spur road leading to a look-off that is not on my map.

The ride up Coit Road from Pacheco Camp to the first ridge has passed surprisingly well (about 700 feet elevation gain in 1.5 miles). I pedalled most of it, except for a short stretch where it seemed easier to walk.

The little road to the look-off appears to be well-used, so I'll go see why.
