Did this a while ago, but finally got it all written up. One of the classic SoCal rides!

Rode this solo to the village a couple months ago and then all the way to the ski lifts with my mom just over a month ago.

My ride report is here (http://www.toughascent.com/blog/?p=59). A couple of pictures from the route:

I know these roads have been talked about many times previously...but if you haven't done this ride, you really need to. Seriously incredible.

Excellent report and photos! Should be mandatory reading for all bike clubs and riders in SoCal.

What a great ride report and pics. That's impressive that you and your mom did the ski lifts. From the looks of your mom and her conditioning--you must be two.:)

I enjoyed the read and pics! I did that ride last year in May, but haven't been back since. Your report inspired me to get a move on and head up there again!

Your mom did this too?
