Figured since I've taken some pics over the last few months, I might as well share them. I don't usually carry a camera, but this is what I have since I moved to Claremont, CA from New Haven, CT.
Claremont Wilderness trails (fire roads). It's 2.5 miles to the top. A pretty good climb I do a few times a week on average since I live maybe a quarter mile from it.
Marshall Canyon, at its smoothest...great to really open up a sprint here...
Favorite short local trail above Marshall Canyon. Nice and loose. I ride here and in Marshall frequently.
Couple of landmines in the dust
Climb up to Potato Mountain from the Wilderness Park. Pretty good climb, even though it's all fire roads.
Part of the climb up the hill. Those boxes are filled with bees.
Inland Valley and beyond, from Potato
Glendora Mountain Road. I think this is from hiking, but I have ridden the road as well. It is a very, very long climb that I believe will be in the Tour of California in May.
Sunset peak view. I think this is from hiking, but I have ridden to here. If you're from the area, I went from Baldy Village to Sunset Peak to the radio towers nearby down to Wheeler Ave and back to Claremont. Lots of fire roads but fast and fun on the way down.
Can you find the lizard?
Riding the Cucamonga Truck Trail...Starts out with a steep paved road climb. To where I went it's about 5 miles at 10%.
Then turns to dirt
Nice views on the way up.
Turns to singletrack pretty quick. This is a fairly smooth part; a lot of it is loose rocks.
It's quite a climb. You can see the switchbacks going up this grade...
Middle of one of the switchbacks
Views from as high as I got.
Areas near Mt Baldy.
More trail to climb in the distance
Saw some snow
And then it turned into more snow and was rather overgrown. Might have taken a wrong turn...but I headed back down anyway...
That's it!
Oh, and our dog, Gomi
