A Ghostly Sub 19: 8) Wednesday 11/23/11
43 mi w/Ron - The Baldy, Foothill, GMR, GRR loop.
Rode down the Baldy Rd to Ron's in Upland.
Took Baseline/Foothill to GMR.
Then up GMR/GRR back to Baldy for me.
Ron got a flat at 40mph on the way down the Baldy road.
The steep fast part above the tunnels...
The tire came off the rim and the tube tangled in the brake, spokes, and quick disconnect.
The wheel stopped turning, and Ron kept it upright as he skidded to a stop.
YOW! Bad deal about the flat, good deal that he was able to kept it upright....

A Ghostly Sub 19: 5) Sunday 11/13/11
54 mi Baldy-SGRT-GMR-GRR-Baldy loop
Rode down the Baldy frontside... thats a free 9 miles of no pedaling.
Was planning on riding to the beach.  Got to Glendora and plans changed.
Called Matt and Annette to see if they were available to ride up GMR.
Annette was, after she got done working, and Matt was not.
So I rode to SR39 and stopped at Pepe's for Tacos. Yum!
Rode up 39 to the SGRT, then down and back around to Glendora.
Annette was almost done by then. Talked w/Bill while waiting. Nice meeting you Bill.
Rode up GMR w/ Annette, she went back at Priceless (nice view of the valley here).
I continued up GMR, GRR, to Baldy.
Beautiful Day.

A Ghostly Sub 19: 3) Saturday 11/05/11
47 mi w/The Newhall Bicycle Co ( 6 of us)
Rode from the shop to Santa Susana area to climb Box and Black Cyn roads.
Climbed up Box cyn to Santa Susana Pass Rd, then climbed Black Cyn to the
 RocketDyne (Boeing) site.
And then down Woolsey Cyn and returned the same way we rode out.
'Sweet Jesus', Box and Black canyon roads are brutal...
Box Cyn is 3 miles of 9%... Then Black Cyn is 2 miles of 15 to 25%...
YOW! Be afraid.... Makes the Baldy Rd seem like kid stuff...

BB: Wasn't invited to the "cool guy" ride and I know it's not because I'm a near cripple cause I see another broken old fella made it. Congrats Ron! Good to see you didn't let the torch burn out. Rode the second to last MWF of the season. Rode the upper GRR plateua a couple times. (19mi) Don't know what we're going to do Fri. Snow in the forecast. (11/02/11)
