Saturday, June 14 - 8:00 a.m. ANGELES CREST– SAN GABRIEL CANYON (87 mi - 8300 ft.) As far as I’m concerned, this is the crown jewel of the training season. A day spent almost entirely in the mountains climbing to just about the highest point on Angeles Crest. 30 miles of downhill to complete the day caps off a great ride. Make no mistake, it’s a difficult ride. Over 8000 feet of climbing and close to 90 miles That’s a lot. But, take it one step at a time and you’ll get there. Step 1: Duarte to the base of Angeles Crest - not bad. Step 2: up to Clear Creek - the biggest stretch of climbing on the ride. Step 3: up to Red Box - tough but only 5 miles. Step 4: to Lunch at Newcomb’s Ranch - Up and Down. Step 5: up to Cloud Burst Summit - the hardest 6 miles. Step 6: to Hwy 39 - Rollies. Step 7: To finish - 30 miles of mostly downhill. You really won’t want to miss this one. The scenery, the mountain air, the mountain goats, etc. You won’t believe it. START: Encanto Park in Duarte. Take 605 Frwy north to end, off and R (east) on Huntington / Foothill Blvd 0.6 mile, L Encanto Parkway (before crossing river) to park on Left.

Looks like a good group doing this ride this year, join us. www.lawheelmen.org

If I was a climber I would SO do this...

At least a handfull of us are doing this ride. I am really looking forward to it.

I'm in, looking forward to climbing AC from the Shell station.

I know of quite a few people who are doing this ride. Wouldn't it be great to see the Mountain Sheep again?
