Glendora Mountain Road (GMR)

Ride to the maintenance shack - 8 miles and 2,200 feet of climbing and either turn around for a world-class descent, or go all the way along the GRR (Glendora Ridge Road) to Mt. Baldy village and return, about 45 miles and 5600 feet when you're all done.

Park along GMR, we'll rendezvous at the corner of GMR and Boulder Springs Road, be ready to roll by 0730 to beat the heat.  Bring extra water if you're going all the way to Baldy, no water available until you get there.
