Got an AirBNB about 3 miles ou of Big Bear for 4 days. Day 2 I rode the 25 mile loop. RWGPS map tried to send me over a dirt roads with closed gate 100 yrds into it. Ride over to the Start of the Tour de Big Bear was supposed to be a 3 miles jaunt up over a thousand foot ridge climb. Instead I had to double back and take an 8 mile route that put me onto the main road which is pothole and rut filled as a third world country road after the US got done bringing over some “Freedom”! I managed though… traffic seemed light and more relaxed than back when I rode up here from home and back last year. So I arrived at or near the Start about 10 min late so it was a chase all the way. Even though Garmin data indicated I was good to go, I wasnt really feeling it at all. Heart rate wouldn’t go overrated about 148 no matter hard I pushed to hold the roadies draft on climbs and rollers. Overall it was still a good ride at altitude of which I’ve needed for a long time. Saw 2-3 trike riders once I did the turn around at the end of the lake. They were still out bound. Spotted a few roadies I’ve encountered on my Santa Ana River Trail rides. They waved… Nice sunshine ☀️ and the climbs definitely felt hot but manageable. Left my micro card reader at home so I’ll have to wait a couple days to begin uploading the video of the ride.
