San Gabriel Loop

Went for a long mtb ride yesterday w/ Nor, Brett and one of Nor's friends. The route started out at the parking lot above JPL in Altadena at around 1,000 ft and then proceeded straight up to 5,200 ft. Here's the elevation profile...



Total mileage was around 30 but the ride took almost 6 hours d/t numerous food stops, a crash, one flat and a lot of hike-a-bike around Switzer. Here's a link to info on MotionBased...



Here are a few photos from the ride...









The single-track from Red Box to Switzer was the highlight of the ride. Saw a number of downhill riders shuttling that section but no XC riders doing the whole loop.
