Flatlanders

I am trying to convince those who ride flat rides that GMR is achievable. Here's my pitch...."Glendora Mountain Road is basically flat.... with a slope. Not really a mountain at all."

Ray Clone of Mt Baldy Village (MBV) agrees:

gosh! you said it.... :)
It is the easier of the three ways up to MBV.
----
The front side - Mt Baldy Road is short but steep. 7 mi @ 9~10%
----
Or you could travel along SR 39:

SR39 is long and has 3 climbs. 32.5 mi total
climb 1 to back side of GMR 15.50 mi @ 3~5%
climb 2 backside GMR to fork 5 mi @ 6 %
climb 3 GRR (reward) 3.6 mi @ 7.3%
----
Or Glendora Mountain Road to Glendora Ridge Road:

GMR/GRR is the easiest way up. 21 mi total
climb 1 GMR 9 mi @ 5.5%
climb 2 GRR (reward) 3.6 mi @ 7.3%
