Join Us for our Member Ride*

The iconic GMR to Baldy Village ride. Easy warmup before climbing GMR and GRR to Baldy Village. Return the same way to the bottom of GMR, then a short ride West through downtown Glendora (cafe stop? 🥐☕) and back to the start. A "bucket list" ride with awesome views of the San Gabriel Mountains.

All abilities welcome. Regrouping will occur at 1) GMR summit before Glendora Ridge Rd split, 2) Baldy Village, 3) the GMR/GRR intersection, and 4) the bottom of GMR at Sierra Madre Bl.

*Non-FRCC Members may ride one “test” ride.

Note: Due to the wide-range of fitness and ability levels among cyclists, you should load the course onto your GPS device in case you become separated from the group (ahead OR behind!)
