This road goes up to Mt. Baldy.
We started at JG's house in Claremont & went just a part of the way up.
Nice to ride on a road with no cars, just other cyclists, some hikers, and a lot of long-board skateboarders.
Just rode for a couple of hours in the morning.
We may ride all the way up to Mt. Baldy another time when the road is closed again...
I thought it would be cooler going up the hills but it was pretty warm.
Was wearing three layers at the start.
Went down to just a shirt as we started to climb...
We just went up about 2,200 ft.
Mt. Baldy is about 4,200 ft. at the top.
Can see the tall buildings of downtown Long Beach straight ahead at the horizon line... (difficult to make out in the picture)
We turned around at this pullout.
We rode about 26 miles total.
When we got back to JG's house, we had some coffee, prosciutto & pumpkin pie. JG remodeled the kitchen (new everything). It turned out really nice. They took out the wall between the kitchen and the living room to make it open with a bar/seating area in between. Much nicer...
Had to leave about noon to meet the Gabelich family for lunch, at Pampas, in Culver City...
This is looking north.
If we kept going, JG said we would be riding up towards this direction...
