WE-Ride for Saturday, June 7: Little T. Starting time 8 AM at Descanso Gardens.
This week's WE Ride will serve as a warmup for next weekend's CSR to Crystal Lake. We’ll be riding Little T to Camp 9.
We depart from Descanso Gardens at 8 AM, climbing up through La Crescenta and descending past Sunland to the base of Little Tujunga Canyon in San Fernando. From there, it’s an out and back along Little T Road. The first climb to Dillon Divide is about 1600 feet. The route then drops a good bit before the 1700 foot climb up Little T Road and Santa Clara Truck Trail to the end at Camp 9 (which has water).
For a shorter ride, turn around at Dillon Divide or Bear Divide along the way.
The return drops down Little T. After a lunch break option at our favorite Backdoor Cafe & Bakery, the route hugs the hills south of Foothill on the way back to Descanso Gardens.
