Parking lot on Right side ( East side of road)
Bike Ride description: See ride # 33 on our club website: cvcbike.org (thanks Mitch) for the "Ride with GPS" route slip & map - link: http://www.cvcbike.org/?p=1854 Moderate climbing & beautiful views most of the way in multiple directions: Urban, canyons, reservoirs & mountains. Suitable to Orange & Red Club riders: both in distance & overall climbing feet: Many places to turn around and ride back downhill if you so desire After twenty miles - we'll descend to Baldy Village (water, food, beer) Challenge: while others are 'lunching" at the Lodge - you can climb the extra credit steep switchbacks Then we can ride back either of two routes - we'll see who wants to ride which ..... 1) Downhill to Claremont, La Verne, across a couple small rollers & bike path to San Dimas & Glendora - see the route & map above OR..... 2) Re-ride the route in the opposite direction ( retrace ride - I didn't draw map) - steep but relatively short climb ( .8 mi. out of Baldy Village then mostly downhill on Glendora Ridge Rd.
