Closed road, perfect weather and still, by far, the smallest crowd ever on GMR on the 4-th of July. Not sure what happened to cycling in SoCal, but surely it's not good.
It was a great ride anyway. My buddies talked me into going further up towards Mt. Baldy. Well, I tried. By the time I got to the 5000' sign, I was tired enough to take the Fukitol pill and turn back.
Not sure if the owners of the restaurant at Baldy village read this forum, but if they do - a huge THANK YOU for the water they provided.
