Where to ride near Sierra Madre?
I'm staying over a friends this weekend in Sierra Madre and was wondering where I could get a good 30-40 miles in nearby.
Anyone have any routes?

Yup. That's Chantry Flats, it's short but fun.

You can ride to Red Box up Angeles Crest and back and it would be about 40 miles.

Ride over to Descanso at 8:10 Saturday and do the Montrose ride. I think the short loop is about 40 miles and it finishes in Sierra Madre

starts steep; eases off 1/3rd of the ways, then a tad more 1/2 way- ish
sorry. i ignore that feature on my garmin
it's the shizt. of course, the REAL riding is the singletrack that lays beyond road's end.
