up to the mountains? That is pretty vague. There are plenty of mountains but which ones where you referring to.

I really don't know the profiles of mountains around here. What's a good mountain with a long and hard climb?

Go east to Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge. You can go all the way to Mt. Wilson if you want. Or maybe you can go south to Palos Verdes.

I'm not sure if
Angeles Crest Highway has been closed off cause of the fires or not. If it is closed off for the fires, or for the rains coming, this would be an awesome road to take.

I was actually pointing out that Angels Crest Hwy being closed was a plus. You won't have any cars to deal with. The only thing you would have to deal with, is if you get caught. You'll just have to be creative and resourceful at that point. I would love to try this and if the opportunity arises, you can bet I'll be there!

Just wear a kit that makes you "look pro" and I'm sure nobody will say a thing... worst case scenario you have to bomb down the mountain which will seriously push your descending skills.

Do mostly road cyclist/riders come out, i.e., with gears? What category are the riders/racers?
