  • Turn Left on road behind Comissary
  • Turn Left on Vandegrift
  • Turn Left (North) on Stuart Mesa
  • Turn Right (East) on Las Pulgas Road and proceed ~2-miles to turn around.
  • Proceed West on Las Pulgas to the exit of Camp Pendleton at the Las Pulgas Gate.

you can calculate it yourself

EDIT: OK, so I was bored and did it myself...I think this will work:

Note, I cut a few corners short and I don't think I went far enough at the one turn around on Las Pulgas. But it gives you the idea. The one thing it doesn't capture is the topography...lots of rollers on the back side.

I would say based on the map that miles 24-40 are hilly. 40 to 56 should be fast as long as the wind is not in your face, but there is a good chance it will be. 1-25 are pretty fast. There are a couple little rollers for the small ring, but not many.

LOL - I was up to mile 50 doing the same thing this weekend, but clicked a link and lost all my data! FYI - it DOES capture the topo. Click the Elevation small or large - great tool. Thank you for posting this!

edit - after review - I'm pretty sure the discrepancy is in the out and back at Las Pulgas. Adjust all the distances short of the 56mi in that out & back. It will move the start of the hills out 1.5-2 mi.s

Go back to your map, and turn on elevation. Your map has it turned off. Then you'll see an elevation profile tied to the mileposts on your map.
