Finally I am in W. Covina long enough to go up mt baldy! it was fun, ive never been up there. I started timing at san antonio falls where the pavement ends, went to ski hut tr. ...passed a lil green house at .45 minutes (i just walked that whole part, to rocky in most spots...jogged where i could...ya know..) from lil green house to top was bout 1 more hour. then, when up there i saw that Devils Backbone tr. It looked better for running, so i went that way down, got to some ski lift/store? place then didnt know which dirt rode to take, so i made an educated guess an' watched my Garmin to see...i was right, it finally got me down back to Ryan at san antonio falls in only 3.09 (it was 2.49 of "moving time" i suppose i spent 20 min lookin at stuff and tryin to figure out my way.) It was really fun! ima go up there again sunday i think. Heres the link to my Garmin page if ya wanna see the map n all that stuffs . (if you click on PLAYER in top right itll show time n dist together. garmin says 1.52 to top...etc shows pace down...I like my new garmin! its pretty neat anywho...thats all

Nice run; nice time. You sure this wasn't a bike ride? :wink:

Pretty spiffy interface that Garmin has there.

Sounds pretty fast to me. I'd be happy to just get to the top in a two hour time frame, let alone do the whole loop, but then I'm a hiker not a runner.
