A Ghostly Sub 16: 1) Saturday 02/02/13
64 mi W/Jess and B - Saturday Flat Out....
Rode from Claremont to Devore to San Benardino and return.
Our intent was to ride to Lytle Creek.
But, where Duncan Cyn meets Lytle Creek road, was construction, no pavment, fences, and ditches.
So after a detour we were climbing Summit Ave toward LC.
There was a great headwind coming down LC canyon, so we took the Devore turnoff.
Rode to Devore, then down to San Bernardino, then back to Claremont.
I'm calling this Saturday Flat Out because I had 1 flat and B had 2, and Jessica just rode flat out hard.
Beautiful day, great ride

A Ghostly Sub 16: 2) Wednesday 02/06/13
71 mi w/Ron and Garry
Rode from San Antonio Heights to Whittier Narrows and return.
Took the usual route to Santa Fe dam - Baseline/Foothill/Sierra Madre, SGRT
At Santa Fe dam exited to Arrow Hwy, and to the Rio Hondo Bike Trail
Exited at Whittier Narrows and crossed over to the San Gabriel River Trail and returned.
An interesting attraction on the SGRT, just north of Whittier Narrows was:
THE SAN GABRIEL RIVER TRAIL RESORT AND WATERPARK
Yes, take a relaxing float down the drainage ditch on a styrofoam cooler,
or pretend you're achieving a Gold Medal on our one of a kind tree diving platform.
Swing like Tarzan (or Cheeta) from our newly developed fire hose fun rope.
Fish for fresh bottom suckers and old boots right from the man made cement bank graffiti area.
Hear the call of the spur fighting roosters and drunken gamblers at the adjacent bird sanctuary.
Check out the waterpark pictures in the album
