33.9 miles, 2,110 ft elevation, 2:08 hrs

With some time constraints today, I joined the Club at the Encanto Park. Riding north along the San Gabriel River bike path, we rode up Azusa Canyon. with a brisk fall tail wind. There were lots of biking groups out today. The climbs along the dam were bright and dry. We regrouped at the Gate at Cogswell. Some call this West Fork. It’s closed to most vehicular traffic, although I caught a couple volunteer trucks along the way. The trail along the trees and creek is wonderful. A true hidden getaway. I flipped it a bit early to get home for a family reunion. Looked like Bjoern was helping Jeff with a flat.
