So I've been in LA on work for the last few weeks, which meant the rare opportunity for me to catch the Tour of California--the final two stages in the LA area fell on a weekend.
Today I rode out east from the San Fernando Valley to the Glendora area to catch the stage 7 action in the mountains.
Was lucky to hook up with a couple of local guys who showed me a scenic back route to the base of the mountains, where the race was taking place.
Rode out of the valley on the same road the race was using to the second KOM point at Glendora Mt. Rd. About 20kms and change up from the valley.
Just a bit beyond was a turnoff the peloton would pass twice, first on a descent. Headed there to see them go by.
