Cal Trans does not maintain dead end roads.

You’ll be able to obtain SSL on as many subdomains as you want.

Getting a chili dog and fries at the top of this climb is a beautiful thing.

Cal Trans had a soft opening on 3-21-2011. Snow still on the ground at 6000 and above (roads clear) and the Snack Bar at Crystal Lake is up and going! Spread the word – it is AWESOME.

And nearly 14,000 feet of climbing is a pretty epic day.

Tomorrow looks like it should be a nice day, so I may have to get back out to 39 for another ride up.

We ended up turning around at Angeles Crest, because we ran out of daylight and it was getting very cold. Here is our route, I will add a post with some pictures in the next week or two: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://map.tourofcalifornia.org/gps/san-gabriel-mountains.kmz. 106 miles with 13,800 feet of climbing, according to my Garmin.

39 is still closed and it does not look like it will be opened anytime soon. The road is rideable, if you don’t mind a few short gravel sections. We encountered one icy area where we had to walk our bikes, but there was no snow.

Mt. Lemmon is an awesome climb, you will like it.

Noticed the entry on Mt Lemmon – I want to do that climb eventually – it seems like a great one.
