Glendora Mountain Road. Not a relaxed ride, and not really a clyde friendly ride either. We do it to feel accomplished. For many of us it's a goal type ride. The Tour of California has used it as part of their race a few times, and some local clubs, and local races use it too. I've heard interviews with some pros that have compared it to the mountain stages during the Tour de France. I have no personal experience with that, and don't know for sure if they are similar, but it's nice to think it is.

That is one of the coolest GMR videos I've seen!
