This trail is called the Castro Peak Motorway but don't think it is paved in any way, far from it. The road runs near the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains connecting the Backbone Trail and the Bulldog Motorway. There are excellent views of the surrounding mountains, especially to the North. The trail is particularly sunny so watch out for rattlesnakes.

As stated this is not a paved section of trail so it is best done on a good gravel bike with 40mm+ tires.
