If you're talking about Hwy 39, San Gabriel Cyn road, you can ride up to Angeles Crest. There's no damage but there was a small rock slide the last time I was up there.
Some friends are planning to ride up to Dawson Saddle that way on Friday to watch the ToC. I can find the details if you would like to join them, (maybe me, too).
I think you're also referring to Sierra Madre.
