Last Saturday Chris, Mike K, Michael Y, Riz and I headed out early for a reluctant GMR Hustle.  It was early. It’s always early because I got things to do!  Thankfully I have a great group of bicycle friends committed to riding, even if it means getting up in the early hours and in the mountains well before 7 am.

We met at our usual spot, Foothill Blvd. and Garey Ave. in the Chase Bank / Carls Jr. parking lot.  Mike K and Michael Y., drove to the meet spot while Riz, Chris and I rode in.  It was cold, not terrible cold. 45 degrees is what the US Bank sign said in La Verne.
