Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Riv Ride

Funny you should mention Chuck's ride, Ted. I believe I met you a couple years ago when you happened upon the ride and I was on my (now former, a little too French fit) blue Rambouillet. The Sierra Madre loop I have developed borrows somewhat from that ride but subtracts some turn and the climb
