Epic Climbing Ride in the Inland Empire
This is just a "what if" sort of a route... basically showing three distinct rides mashed together. 70 miles with 11K of climbing. Got it in you? About 20 miles could be cut out of it if you wanted to park at the Mentone CDF station on Bryant/Mill Creek. This route utilizes trails and fire roads (very little singletrack) that goes up to Angelus Oaks, out to Forest Falls, climbs the back way to Oak Glen, then drops into Yucaipa. (note this portion requires permission to pass private property in Forest Falls - http://www.sbvas.org/bearpaw.htm for permission). Finishing up on Crafton Hills Fire Road which could be taken out to make it only slightly less epic of a ride.by cyclotourist
