• 2/8/09  – Norco Hills Racetrack

3 of us were brave/dumb enough to actually ride on the wettest day of the year so far. Mike, Mike and Hugh left from a park in Norco Hills and rode 2 laps of a figure 8 route centered on the Hidden Valley Golf Course. In just 12.5 Miles we got 1900′ of climbing in. After 2 laps we called it a day and retreated from the wet roads.

• 1/31/09 – Glendora Mountain Road

A fun jaunt from Legends Burgers in Upland west along Baseline and Foothill then North to Glendora Mountain Rd. Up to the Shack and down into the East Fork valley of the San Gabriel River. Back down Azusa Canyon and then along Foothill & Baseline. 62 Miles, 4800′ of climbing. Robin, Edith, Chris, Marty, Michael, Tim and Hugh left and all 7 made it back (usually a sign of a good ride).
