Okay JimmyNH,

It all looks good! Linda Adams and I rode from Glendora up GMR, over GRR and to the Village for some of Missy's Totally Excellent cinnamon rolls. Missy said to let her know if lots of your riders would be partaking of cinnamon rolls and she said she'll bake an extra pan-full (usually one pan is all and Sundays only, so approx. 12 rolls).

The coffee is excellent at Mt. Baldy Lodge too.

Anyway, after breakfast at The Lodge Linda and I rode up to the ski lifts and I'm happy to report that the road is in excellent condition for this Beyond Category Climb. We got just over 7,000 feet of climbing for the day.

Some snow in the shadows along the road on the Ski Lift climb, but none on the road so no worries.

PS: No wild animals. I thought I saw a coyote but Linda pointed out that it had a collar and tags . . . so I guess not!
