Default Lower Glendora Mountain road.

This morning I drove up to Glendora to check out the mountain road that opened this month. The road is in excellent condition. The road was closed for ~10 years due to a land slide. In the video you can see the new section of road.

The lower half of the road is curvy, with a lot of cut backs. The upper half is more twisty and higher speed. Similar to the ridge.

The drawback is probable high volume bicycle traffic, but may keep them off the ridge.

Here is a video of the lower half of the road.

Here's the upper half going up and ending at the "Y". As you can see the sharp curves turn twisty.
