My question is regarding the Reseda climb from Rinaldi to Sesnon in Granada Hills. Would you consider this a difficult climb when it comes to road biking? I can climb most of the fireroads around SoCal on my MTB with ease but somehow road bike climbing seems different. I can't tell if I'm getting a good workout sometimes.
Usually, I'll ride Rinaldi from Laurel Canyon, north on Woodley to Balboa, back to Rinaldi, north on Reseda, west on Sesnon and back to Rinaldi via Porter Ranch. 21 miles. If I continue this route would it be sufficient to better my climbing? It seems like I get more of a workout climbing and descending an eight mile fireroad in the Verdugos.
