GMR (Glendora Mountain Road) and GRR (Glendora Ridge Road) closes annually for July 4th due to fire danger. This is an opportune time for a ride up to Baldy Village and the ski lifts without traffic. We have the road to ourselves! But be sure to follow the rules of the road and stay right of center at all times. LATC will lead a ride to Baldy Village and the ski lifts starting at the Mauricio's parking lot. We are climbing at least 5K feet, so bring your largest rear cog. The first 3 options are NOT for beginners, As an alternate, we are planning an easier route without climbing, stay tuned for the beginner option.
** Before the ride **
Please arrive 15 minutes before start time for a quick brief and start photos
** Aid Station **
Due to road closers, we will only have one aid station at Baldy Village at mile 24.5. If you plan on going to the ski lifts, you can stop again at mile 34.
** Ride Options **
The Strava routes include the ski lifts. You may choose to turn around at the aid station in Baldy Village, this will remove approx 2,000 feet of climbing.
