This last weekday I did a "birthday" ride - something new I hadn't done before... Rode up the The National Forest6 Service Road,West Fork, San Gabriel River. Now remember CA is in a severe drought so not much water but I can imagine in a El Ninjo year, the river is full...
Start of the ride:
Continue up on the road - you can see the steady grade:
Dry waterfalls along he way - just imagine there water and these waterfalls are flowing:
The stream along the way:
Payoff - the top of the Cogswell Dam: Water is dangerously low
Looking back down the 18% grade we had to climb:
I saw lots of roadies on this road - Highway 39 up to Crystal Lake or Angeles Highway:
Beautiful but cold (40 degrees) day:
