CR Folk, Come on out to this ride...it is a beautiful ascent to Baldy and the lunch/snack at Baldy Village is wonderful!! Don't worry about conditioning as I am coming off of 2 weeks of flu then bronchitis so I may well be the last rider up!! Do ride a granny gear equiped bicycle of classic bicycle design and style. I did this as part of a 200K Brevette several years ago on a 39 X 24 and it was not so fun towards the top. I will be there on an early 80's lugged 650B Mercian with a Campy triple.

See you there!!
