In honor of TJ's one year anniversary of his hip replacement, a ride from his home in Pasadena up CA-39 to Islip Saddle and continuing on up to Dawson Saddle, then down CA-2 to La Canada and back. Rode with TJ, Pete, Michael, Donato, Jerry Brown, and a friend of TJ's. TJ gave me a head start from the gate just past the Crystal Lake turn-off which was just enough for me to stay away to the top of Dawson Saddle. LOL [If checking the totals on the metrics for this ride, note well that the route is at least 5.3 miles shorter than shown, and would have taken me 50 minutes less time than what is shown; this was mostly the circling and waiting I did at Islip to regroup with other riders, which was 4.9 mi., +/-300' & 46 min.]
