MOUNT BALDY, CALIFORNIA
DRAFT – SUMMARY
My goal was to ride up Mt. Baldy and to PR every segment that I had starred; I accomplished that.
Quick thoughts: Mt. Baldy Road from the parking lot is the shortest, and therefore, the steepest way up the mountain. I chose this way to (1) compare this effort to my effort in 2018, and (2) I did not have time to ride up Glendora Road.
The pavement was awful. Lots of cracks; some were “vertical,” and a bike wheel could get stuck in one of those.
It was cold at the top.
While I PR’s everything going up, I went slower coming down than I did in 2018. Wiser, I think.
Lodging last night was non-existent. Whoop recorded zero sleep, and I stayed awake all night at Reagan-National Airport as my flight was delayed from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. I shouldn’t have been riding a bike at all today.
MILES: 26 (13 up, 13 down)
WEIGHT: 177 (same as 2018)
