bump!
Are we still on for next Sunday? and if so,when and where specifically are we meeting? I know where Griffith park is, but I've only driven by it on the freeway.
Tour De Foothills.
I spoke with the route planner this AM. The routes are basically the same, The only differences are that the metric is heading a bit further west (Covina instead of San Dimas) to avoid the possibility of Santa Ana winds, and both routes are heading back on different (Arrow instead of Baseline) street - less traffic. I'm supposed to be route Marshall.
The half will go through Bonelli Park and head over to Glendora ave, It then does the lower portion of San Dimas Canyon(with a Steep,but short climb at the end) before getting on baseline for a Gradaul climb into Claremont.
Then the fun startsyou do about a quarter of Mt Baldy road, with a about a mile - and - half of steady 8-9% grade. You get rewarded by a fast descent into San Antonio Heights and Upland to the rest stop. You then pedal east into "Rancho" before heading east to the park.
the half doesn't go to to Bonnelli, Covina, or Baldy Road
