Glendora Mountain Road in SoCal.
OP should ask in the SoCal sub-forum.
I cannot imagine this is a very attractive area to ride after the Bridge Fire even if it is open.

Is the fire even out? LA County says closed but in the past they have allowed bikes when it was closed to cars. This time I don't know.

I live about one mile from the base, riding it about six times over the past two months.
They closed it to motor vehicles, but cyclists can easily go over or under the huge gate.
GMR, itself, does not contain much debris, but going across GRR to Baldy Rd requires vigilance for scattered rocks.
Without motorists, the route represents a haven for us cyclists. Still a difficult climb for me.

Thank you for this update! That's exactly what I needed to know.
