Hey big john forgive me for more questions about rides your way, but here is a route I got from the Pasadena Trek website, they have several posted. They "say" it's a road bike route but this route from Pasadena to Mt Wilson looks like much of it is on a trail or gravel. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32044357
I am guessing this one is a better one for Mt Wilson as it seems to be no gravel. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32007710
Comments? OK to PM me to minimize noise in this place.

The second one is Angeles Crest, highway 2. The link ends, turns around at Clear Creek, which is the intersection with Angeles Forest highway. The top of Wilson is about 10 miles further.
An alternate to climbing the lower section of AC would be to travel north on Foothill blvd to Mount Gleason ave to Big Tujunga to Angeles Forest to Angeles Crest.
On workdays people use Angeles Forest to Angeles Crest to get to L.A. from the desert. So commuters would be descending Angeles Crest in the morning in what is described as "The Palmdale 500".
Noise?

The first one is the "Toll Road". It's dirt and the last time I climbed it (years ago) it was very rough and rocky but I looked at a recent video and it looks to be rideable for gravel type bikes. I don't know the stats but it's a lot of climbing in a short distance. Oops, the link says 5000+ feet in 15 miles.

Bottom line is that it's complicated and the answers to you questions are not clear.

What is "normal" or "optimal" D level is very controversial. And many of us think a low D is a marker for poor health rather than being a "vitamin deficiency." Vitamin D is not even really a vitamin, it's a hormone.

Got it. Thanks. I may have more questions as my trip gets closer. Fingers crossed the weather allows me to summit some of the climbs there like Baldy. It looks like daytime high temps there are running around 40F which is tolerable, as long as the roads don't have snow on them.

...but it's all about the last encounter, so shouldn't be sensitive to frequency.

First of all, does "Feminist-identified men" mean these are guys who identify as gay?

Speaking of whom, this morning I got a message from them that they can't refill my MTX because "we don't have any recent labs."
Readers of this thread will recall that I was just there on Tuesday for 2+ hours for an infusion, during which time they could have easily done said labs.
Now I'm trying to send a report from the other place from October, hoping that will suffice.
She wanted me to FAX it to them, circa 1993.
THESE PEOPLE. SMH.
