This message goes out to all of you who have ridden Mount Laguna. In terms of difficulty, how does it stack up to GMR? I think GMR is not as high as Mt. Laguna.

Mount Laguna will be my first century and I'm looking for some good training ground in the LA/OC regions. GMR is a 1/2 hour drive away from where I live. I'm thinking of using GMR to Mt. Baldy as a training ground as well as some local climbs such as Santiago/Silverado/Maple Trail.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Best Wishes,
Darren
