Randsburg ... an old 1880s mining town in the California Desert.

It appears I cracked some ribs crashing on a group ride, so this is from a driving road trip.

Yes! Except the last one, which is Crown Valley road by that Thousand Trails thing near Acton. It was a beautiful day but a bit windy, especially on Soledad Canyon going home.
We also found a road near the bottom of Aliso which connects to the bottom of Angeles Forest but the last few miles are dirt. It's in great shape, though, and was easy to ride on with road bikes.

Indian God rock was my turn-around point when I did an out & back from Emlenton some years ago. That's such a nice trail.

Question - Was anything done to improve that short section where the right-of-way of the rails was lost around the camp area? It's been awhile, but I remember it as being rutted and some sections difficult to ride.

We've started in Franklin - started in Emlenton - but have not completed the entire ride end-to-end so we have not ridden on that one section

finally spotted an eagle during the last ride

Rode about 30 mi

Glendale Heroes Regional Park

Shooting aircraft and guess who walks by. Barely glances in my direction.

48 degrees and sun to begin the ride - relatively nice - but 41 at the end when the sun set ... a little chilly ... saw some icicles on rock walls in some spots ...

What trail? One photo reminds me of a spot on the Armstrong Trail outside of Kittanning, PA.
