I am guessing it will be pretty chilly at the tops of the mountains, but still passable by bike??
In February, it could be beautiful, sunny, and mild temps. It could also be dumping rain and snowing at higher elevations. Baldy would definitely be a "higher elevation". As a guy who has lived in Pasadena and adjacent cities his whole life, I know a little about the area. Feel free to reach out for local knowledge.
