Final training ride before the Mulholland Challenge. On Sunday, I'm starting in Azusa, heading up to the Crystal Lake Cafe, up the backside of GMR, GRR over to Baldy Village, then back across GRR, down the front of GMR and over to Azusa. That should be about 86mi and close to 10k of climbing. If I'm really having a good day, I may try to go up to the ski lifts.
It's more fun to ride up the front of GMR, but I like to do Azusa Canyon as early as possible to avoid the OHV crowd. The lower part of Azusa Canyon can get a bit tight with some of those off roaders.
