The Moorpark Loop pretty much feels as though you spend the day climbing, but there are two outstanding downhill sections that make life worth
living. Early season or mid-summer, this can be a challanging training ride.
Start: At the corner of Walker and Harnell in Camarillo, California
- Head North on Walker to Temple (dead ends at Temple)
- L on Temple to Ponderosa
- R on Ponderosa to Adolfo Road
- R on Adolfo Road to Santa Rosa Road
- L on Santa Rosa Road to Moorpark Road (about 7 Mi)
- A careful left on to Moorpark Road to Tierra Rejada
- L on Tierra Rejada to Spring Road
- R on Spring Road to High Street
- L on High Street to Moorpark Ave (Walnut Canyon Road)
- R on Moorpark Ave (Walnut Canyon Road) to Broadway (about 2.2mi)
- L on Broadway to the Broadway/Grimes Canyon fork
- Stay Left and continue on Broadway to Stockton Road (forced Right)
- Stockton (nice climb with an outstanding downhill) to Balcom Canyon Road
- R on Balcom Canyon
- After a while of climbing you'll go past the dog kennel and have a short-steep incline afterwhich you get to go down for a bit.
During the decent you'll see a sign for R turn to Balcom Canyon....Ignore IT! Go straight and the road becomes Bradley Road.
- a couple of short climbs on Bradley and then a real long decent (time to give all the altitude you gained back) to CA 118
- L on CA 118 to North Street
- R on North Street to far side of Somis School and turn R
- Pass the Baseball Fields and Church and follow the crappy road back to Somis Road
- R on Somis Road to Adolfo
- R on Adolfo and take the first L (Marco)
- Marco to Stiles
- R on Stiles to Eston St
- L on Eston to the bike path past the Tennis Courts
- Cut through the park to the pool parking lot back out to Temple Ave
- L on Temple to Walker
- R on Walker and enjoy the coast on home
