Subject: RE: IM Tahoe Training in LA? Not sure how much elevation change you're looking for, but you can do GMR (Glendora Mtn Rd. ) up to the ridge road to Baldy Village. From there, you have the option of making a left turn on Baldy Road and climbing up to the ski slopes for a really healthy climb, making a right turn and going down Mt. Baldy Rd. into Claremont, or turning around and taking the Ridge Road back to Glendora. Optionally, you can ride up Mt. Baldy Rd. from the base in Claremont to the Village or the ski slopes if you'd prefer. It's steeper up the face like that, and you get to enjoy the narrow tunnels on the uphill, which are always a fun place to be when you encounter vehicle traffic (note sarc on that last comment ). There's no water up there on the ridge road until you get to the village, so come prepared. |
