EBIKE RIDE PAVED ROADS - CRYSTAL LAKE & HWY 39
Details
I used to head up Hwy 39 out of Azusa to The Angeles Crest Hwy 2 at Islip Saddle. It's been closed for 40 years now and I guess it'll never be reopened, so I will be doing this with my ebike which will allow me to accomplish what I used to do in my thirties with my car.
We'll meet in Crystal lake and take on Hwy 39 before coming back and checking all the roads in the campgrounds there.
Make sure you bring along a spare inner tube.
