Group Ride - GMR - Encanto Park, Duarte - Sat 7am

If you are training for one of the upcoming Epic Rides, a hilly race coming up or you just want to get strong on the bike then this is the ride for you.  If you are planning to do the July 4th, Mount Baldy ride then come out and practice before the big day.  It's a great way to see how well your fitness is improving by comparing the two rides.

We will gather at Encanto Park on Saturday morning with the plan to roll out at 7:00am after quick announcements and a group picture.  

The complete route is almost 57 miles but since it's an out and back you can make this ride as long or short as you want.  Many athletes often decide to turn around at the fork at Horse Canyon Saddle where Glendora Mountain Road meets Glendora Ridge Rd. This is at just over 16 miles so over 32 miles of fun. Before leaving on this ride, please let Kim know what your planned route is for the day.
