The Adventures of Bren and Sven

Glendora Mountain Road

This 9.2 mile stretch of crazy sits behind a housing development and equestrian center in City of Glendora. Glendora Mountain Road, more commonly referred to as GMR, is a well known hot spot for sport riders. Almost every motorcylist knows of GMR, but personal thoughts and feelings on it vary. A handful of sport riders love the road for the intesinty and varrying degrees of diffiulty GMR offers. Others lament the road for poor maintainence and the amount of traffic it brings. Lets face it, GM...

Glendora Ridge Road

So you have reached the Y atop Glendora Mountain Road and East Fork Road, and you see a small road trailing off to the east along the ridge of foothills.

Once you pass the Camp Bonita turn off, East Fork Road kicks things...

Azusa Canyon Road

Azusa: "A to Z in the USA". Nestled in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest, Highway 39, more commonly referred as Azusa Canyon, offers So Cal motorcyclists of all genres the opportunity to carve the canyons. Azusa Canyon is cruiser friendly. Highway 39 features wide sweepers and crests that casually follow the mountain side, and a perfectly distant straight away to open up the throttle. The unfortunate down side with Hwy 39 is that over the years more and more of it has been shut dow...

California Local Riding Spots

Sven here, to bring you a new segment. I've notice that some web sites try to offer a database for local riding spots. The only issue I have found with a majority of these sites is that they don't follow a uniform format, and they tend to get lazy and lose sight of the objective. Often these sites go unmaintained and half done. Well that is why I'm here. My objective with this sub-project is to bring you a complete lo-down on the many twisties that make Southern California one of the greatest...
