We had a nice ride today in the beautiful San Gabriels. A very select group of 3 riders [Lee Irene and Jane] from Santa Clarita Velo, and 3 [me, John and Sarah] from the SFVBC. Fall has fallen up there as we spent the day in arm warmers and vests off and on. Crystal clear skies made it possible to see Catalina from Big Pines ,an estimated 80 miles away. A kinda uneventful 74 miles with 8 1/2K climbing. All along the upper road we saw the support people for an ultra marathon , running 100 miles on trails from Wrightwood to the Rose Bowl.
I'm sure glad I ride a bike.
