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, GMR is a tough route. Going up or going down, GMR has virtually every type of turn or twist you can immagine. Switchbacks, hairpins, sweepers, chicanes, just to name a few. GMR can eat a rider up and spit him or her out in just about any part of the ride, and it has in the past.

I myself am not the biggest of fans for GMR. I have yet to have a great experiecne going up or down GMR. If it’s not heavy motorcycle traffic, it’s dirt on the road, or overgown grass in the turns, or worse yet riders doing stupid stuff on a mountain road that should be saved for the track.

Glendora Moutntain Road has the potential to be a fun and exciting ride it once was, but it seems it has lost its spark due to a handful of people doing some stupid things.
