We started at Encanto Park but there are several parks in the area or you could park on the streets anywhere in the neighborhood. Just find your way to Hwy 39.

Sorry to hear that but I'm glad you didn't have a flat on the top of that descent.

Sure, Cleave, we'd love to have you. We did the L.A. Wheelmen 5 Counties ride today!
