The sun burst out on Glendora Mountain Road on the first day of the San Dimas Stage Race 2019. The birds in the trees are just as excited as the cyclists below wait for their start times. The 7km stage ascend 1000 feet to challenge those who dare to climb it. It is man versus mountain in what is an intimate personal trial of fitness.

The first lizard of the season at first saddle. The painted lady butterflies were headed north over the range. You know you need more time on the bike when the butterflies flit past faster than your pedaling!

The first ride of daylight savings time! Monday night was cold with wind gusts between 12-14 mph and clods lightly sprinkling. The true hardy cyclists went out. Helmets off to Mark G. Who made it down the mountain. Tuesday was a completely different story. Sunny clear skies gentle breeze a high of 71F.
