Excellent, will help those who follow have an epic experience on this iconic ride
I might do it this weekend before the snow hits.
Very scenic route! Looking forward to ride it with my trusted MTB. Greetings from Germany! :)
If only we had racing still up Baldy
Epic climb! One day.... one day I'll do it. That derailleur smack at 10:55 had be clenching!!
Nice catch! I didn't even notice until you mentioned. Luckily, everything has been running well since.
Great video doing that ride this weekend 👍
I hope there isn't snow all the way to the top...
Wow amazing views makes me wish I had a gravel bike. I know this guy that took a mountain bike to the very summit of baldy.
I've always been tempted to try that, but if it was such a good idea, I figured I'd hear more about it.
@@GravelBikeCalifornia yeah once you get to devils backbone is just unrideable and dangerous.
Great ride!! You can add more dirt at the beginning of this route by climbing Monroe Cyn (at the bottom of Glendora Mountain Road-GMR, gate is at the first GMR switchback) that takes you all the way to the GMR shack, on dirt. Or, the pro level Baldy dirt climb is the Sunset peak motorway that takes you all the way to Baldy Village on dirt, I call that "Dirty Baldy".
We've done Monroe before and made the mistake of continuing on the other side of GMR.
@@GravelBikeCalifornia What wrong with the other side? I haven't gone down that way myself but it does look nice on a map.
Looks like an amazing ride! Too bad there wasn’t more gravel! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 This reminds me of one of my favourite gravel rides in Whistler BC!
I'm ridden up to Cypress Mountain, but it felt like you could only MTB down...
Look at the cool ass truck in background at 13:21.
Keep up the good work on these vids. Lots of info which is nice.
Was that yours?
@@GravelBikeCalifornia I wish it was, that's my style for sure. Jealous of the truck and those trails you keep showing off!
One day I hope to ride a couple of these if I can escape Canada. Thanks for all the great content.
Great ride! Thank you for sharing it!!!
You're going to love it. I even did it once on 32s!
This ride was hard. I started in Chino and almost rode to the summit. I threw in the towel with 1.4mi to the top.
Gotta watch the temps on this one
so cool!
There’s a long dirt climb called Sunset Ridge Truck Trail that takes you all the way up to GMR just before you descend down into Baldy Village that will give this route about 50% more dirt… check it out! Make sure to bring lots of food and water it’s a hard climb
That's a tough one for sure. It also cuts into your time getting a beer.
Next time ride to the summit
I was thinking, when watching this video, that when going through the tunnels it would be a good idea to have flashing lights on your bike.
Absolutely! The lower tunnel is steep and it takes a long time to climb.
Cornucopia of panorama's .... :D
Trying out some new vocabulary....
Looks awesome! Ive hiked that dirt but looks like a fun ride from the bottom. You think you could get away with 32s?
Yeah. I've done it before and I think Bill in the video was rocking those.
Been riding that since the 70's. Long before TOC there was a time trial race from the bottom to Manker Flats. Looks pretty crowded. Was that on a weekend?
We went on a Sunday, but it was a little less crowded at the 'notch.
By looking at several of your vids, it looks like you pretty much covered a lot of the surrounding areas of LA. Have you ever ridden Maple Springs to Santiago Peak in OC" that would be a good gravel grinder, or can also access the peak via Harding truck trail! Cheers!
No OC yet, but came close. Send it Sunday was supposed to be down there last March, but Covid hit that. We were also supposed to do Black Star during the summer, then a fire hit. Definitely looking to add some in the future and taper LA back a bit as we get to some normalcy...
@@GravelBikeCalifornia Blackstar, Main Divide, to Motorway would be a nice one to👌
What a great ride, Thanks for sharing. I am wondering how much your bike weights.
About twenty stripped, but with my cameras and extra equipment on it.....
What tire size did u run for this route to Baldy ski lodge?
I had 40s, but I've done it on 35s before too (as did Bill in this video).
My home!
You're very fortunate.
