o my bad. i was factoring in the gentle climb to/from the lifts. was thinking 11:30am. lunchtime. i suppose 9:45am-10am would be more of a "construction" lunchtime. not picky or quibbling.

For the record, anyone who does the lifts deserves a beer, regardless of the time of day!

I was thinking about leaving the crash-hat at home and riding bareheaded with you, but GMR is just too fun a descent. I've passed over 15 motorcycles on downhills so far. (And up to 19 broken bones. haha) Alas, still haven't made it past 60mph yet though.
8:00, Glendora High School!

i meant beers not breweries. i realize three weavers is on the edge of inglewood and craftsman doesn't even have a tasting room. if congregation tap house has a decent selection then sweet.

Good news, if you come down the back way from GMR through Camp Williams, this place is nearly exactly on the road back to the start. Almost exactly. Not sure about the hours on the fourth nor the bike friendliness of the locale though.

No clue where to find those then! You can check out the tap list here (click on Azusa):

@TrojanHorse perhaps a visit prior to the event is in order.............just to look around

We have confirmation.
Sorry about duplicate post before. Not sure what happened. Maybe the mods held up my original post for review because of the Russian foul language?

Okay, have confirmed with Missy that there will be cinnamon rolls on July 4th and The Mt. Baldy Lodge will be open early (8:30 AM) instead of the usual 11:00 on Wednesday).
I'll be starting from Boulder Springs; not sure what time yet but maybe 7:30 AM.

On second thought, might as well make an exception for America's birthday...

If I go, it will be later... Up Baldy Road and down GMR is my favorite route.
I'll be descending cautiously on a black/white Supersix Evo or white Allez. Haven't decided.
I'm usually sporting a black POC helmet and glasses and a messenger bag with treats.

Eager to see you again too Comrade. So much has happened and changed since the last time we rode and shared a beer.
I was thinking about leaving the crash-hat at home and riding bareheaded with you, but GMR is just too fun a descent. I've passed over 15 motorcycles on downhills so far. (And up to 19 broken bones. haha) Alas, still haven't made it past 60mph yet though.
