Goin' camping

Last month my family went camping.  Unfortunately we don't do so as much as we would like.  I decided to take off early from work and ride the bike up to meet with my family.  It's at Dixon lake, which is only 15 miles up there.  The ride itself is mostly on the outer edge of Escondido.  Nothing difficult about this ride.  But there is a very steep 1/4 mile section just before getting into the park.  If you notice the red line on the map, it actually breaks for a bit.  That's because I had to walk it up for a while.  My Garmin said it was a 70% grade.  No way it was that much.  It was more around 20%, which is still too much for me for that distance.  Dixon lake is a great place to camp!
