For #NationalGardeningDay: In 1923, Fred and Mitoko Yoshimura opened the Mission Nursery in #SanGabriel. "It would blossom into a major commercial success now known as San Gabriel Nursery & Florist, which this year is celebrating its 100th anniversary." https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-02-26/after-100-years-the-san-gabriel-nursery-continues-to-bloom

Fun ride today, now that the sun is shining and the trails are mostly dried out. Some of the most gorgeous views to be had in this end of the valley, totally worth the climb. 1,064 feet / 310m all in over 11.5 miles / 18.6km.

This part of the climb is primarily horse trail, covered with decomposed granite. Some rain damage but very rideable. Nothing technical to speak of, just steep in parts. The reward is a view of the entire San Gabriel Valley, to downtown Los Angeles in one direction, and Mt. San Antonio (aka Baldy) in the other.

Then there's getting back down ...
