Amazing Highway 39 on June 3rd
The next club ride will take place on June 3rd. Clear your calendar, don your club kit for a ride on Highway 39 from Azusa. This scenic ride climbs with an average grade of 2.3% until Crystal Lake. The road is lightly traveled since it is closed near the intersection with the Angles Crest Highway.
