It's Raining, It's Pouring We're incredibly fortunate to enjoy such nice biking weather. However, even in sunny Southern California it's bound to rain sometime. With that in mind, we need to remember to keep safety first and and w ith rain forecast in the recent weather forecast, my advice is;    1) If you look out and see it raining, it's likely the ride is canceled. 2) If rain is forecast, but only cloudy, go to the start and see if the ride is a go.   Saturday 1/14/23, the second item above occurred.

A particularly interesting stretch on Rt 66 starting at the 13 mile mark where you can get a sense of what Rt 66 was like during its heyday when Rt 66 was the Mother Road before the Interstate Hwy system made it obsolete. View the Supper Clubs and Cocktail Lounges and unique architecture. Shortly after the 17 mile mark you head South for breakfast at Roberta's in La Verne. After breakfast take a lovely excursion around Puddingstone Reservoir crossing the dam. From this point it's all a very gradual grade to the end and if you...
