We ride together, hitting hills hard and regrouping after each one. Regroup points: bottom of 1st hill (Highlands), 3rd hill (PID S.), optional hill (Clubhouse). Regroup at top of 2nd hill (Niguel Rd) and last hill (PID N.), then return as a group. To keep the waiting to a minimum, turn around and descend once the first rider reaches the top and passes you descending while you're still climbing.

Prior to participating in our group ride, we kindly ask all non-members to click on the Rider’s Waiver link and complete the waiver.
For your safety and the safety of your fellow riders, please keep the following reminders in mind:
- Faster riders, please don't start the hills before the group. This cheats slower riders of the opportunity to make it up the hill, and it also shortens the re-group time.
- Observe traffic signals and don't run yellow or red lights, especially when heading to the first climb on Highlands. If the group splits, the second group will not be able to get as far up the hill.
- Pass slower riders on the left, and slower riders should stay to the right.
- Always stay in the bike lanes. If you must get out of the bike lane to pass a fellow biker or avoid road hazards, check for cars first.
- Be cautious on PID South, as there is a center divider with only a few places to turn around to descend. Watch out for cars in both directions when you turn to descend, and help your fellow riders by calling out if it's safe to turn around.
- For those who want an extra challenge, the Clubhouse climb is optional and can be completed after we re-group at PID South on Alicia/PID. We'll send out the faster climbers who choose to tackle this climb about 1 minute ahead of the rest of the group. The rest of us will head out to do the last climb on PID North, aiming to finish before the Clubhouse climbers catch up with us. We'll all re-group at the top of PID before heading back to the finish together as a group

From 7:45am until 1:00pm
Meetup at 7:45am and Ride at 8:00am
Ride Start: Glendora High School Parking Lot
Route: Glendora Mountain Road, GMR for short. It's about a 46-mile ride up to Mt. Baldy Village and back with an optional 4 hard miles up to the ski lifts. On your 4,000' climb up the mountain, you will enjoy spectacular views from a very quiet road. The first 7 miles are a constant, relentless climb of around 5 to 7%. Once you reach the maintenance shed, the road levels out a little, but mostly you will be climbing.
Phone Service: Your cell phone will likely not work on much of this route. You will get service in the village and only a few locations along the way.
Water, Food & Amenities: Mt. Baldy Lodge has an outdoor water bottle filler on their porch. They are cyclist friendly and appreciate our business. There are bathrooms inside. You can also go across the street to the state park. There are pit toilets, and usually a shorter line to use them.
Note:
- This will be a drop ride with regroups, please ride with another rider for safety.
- There are no facilities anywhere on the 21-miles up the mountain. No water or food, however it is easy to turn around and roll back down at any point.
- Check the forecast. It can be hot at the bottom of the mountain and cold at the top, especially at the ski lifts if you go up there. Layer accordingly.
- Watch out for rocks on the road.
