The signature climb featured in the Tour de Big Bear, Hwy 38 to Onyx Peak is where the TdBB KOM takes place. The gradient is very consistent and reasonably gentle. The road is in good shape, although there are sections where the shoulder is very narrow. Also key an eye out for the odd fist to volleyball-sized rock near the shoulder. Traffic is modest. The biggest challenge to this climb is the altitude since you top out at about 8450 ft. However, the spectacular views can take your mind off the feeling that you're breathing through a straw. Worth going out to do if you get up to Big Bear.
