30 miles with nearly 4,000 ft up Glendora Mtn Rd. Then down the short steeper section known as Little GMR then back up. He rode from home so he had 300 ft upon arrival. I did a couple short repeat sections to capture video so I'm taking a few extra feet as his Garmin would figure my ride to be about 3600 ft without the repeats. So 3700-3800 ? C'mon gimme credit!


We did a good pace up the climbs trying to get back into pre-holiday form, I know I need it!

70 plus degrees in January plus 4000 feet of climbing in shorts. What more can you ask for as far as riding goes. Sorry to the rest of the country that is freezing its ass off right now. Spring will be here for you soon enough.
