It never snows in Southern California...

Those are beautiful, thanks for posting them.

I have a dear friend who lives in Fontana and I've never seen pictures of the San Bernadino National Forest but have heard her speak of it alot.

...snowball fights on the beach, sounds like paradise.

Beautiful pics Fredwina! I did a century this morning and it was so gorgeous out that I was kicking myself for not having a camera.

Where is Lytle Creek? Is there a lot of climbing? Details, details!!!!

Thanks for posting those pics. My boyfriend and I also rode up Lytle Creek Rd. today from Rancho Cucamonga on our way out to San Bernardino (a slight detour, but we used to live in Lytle Creek and wanted to check out the snow level). We only went as far as Scotland, about 5 miles up, so we didn't get to the snow. Traffic was a sort of heavy, though we did see several other cyclists riding up--didn't see any Cannondales!

Brandy,
To get to Lytle Creek, Take the 15 north to Sierra In Fontana, turn left, park at the truck stops. it's about 2000 feet there, the pavement ends about 10-12 miles at about 4500 - it continues as a dirt road that goes to the Ski lifts on baldy very hard to get lost
we usually do from somewhere in Rancho Cucamonga adds another 10 miles and 1000 feet. It a very gentle climb(lot easier than GMR), until you get pas Applewhite Campground
Suz, saw several male rides descending on my up. I did pass some female rides on the short rise just after the Valero on my descent

Thanks for the info Fredwina. I had never heard of it! 2500 feet of gain in 12 miles? Not too bad...sounds like a 4% average grade.

We're planning to hit GMR next weekend, but I will have to check out Lytle Creek another day!
