He took us on some of the back roads south of town and WOW, they were fun! Zero cars, good surface, great views, plus it was spring so everything was green.
Sadly, that subforum has been pretty dead for the last, maybe 10 years. No group rides and hardly any new posts anymore.
That picture is Glendora Ridge Road on the way up to Mount Baldy. The roads end at 6000 feet. On the other (north) side of Baldy you can ride up to 8000 feet on the road.
The same thing happened on the SoCal sub forum.
