PTC Ride Report. Sierra Madre – Bonelli Loop. With Surprise Birthday Party!

53.3 miles, 3:15 moving time, 2,060 ft elevation, 97 suffer score, 156 Watts, 1,577kJ work, 62 trophies.

PTC rode from Sierra Madre to San Dimas. We rode around the Bonelli Park, which is featured in a local triathlon.

Following the ride, the club surprised me with a birthday party in Sierra Madre!
