Mile 3: Rode Through Old Town Pasadena, across Pasadena Bridge, through Eagle Rock, passed

Mile 11: Entered Griffith Park on the Glendale side. Rode up the Burbank side. Passed Travel Town trains. Walked around the gate and climbed up the backside.

Mile 18: Rode back up Trash Truck hill and descended down the Burbank side again. Carefully.
