However, if you want an MTB tour of Bonelli or Marshall Canyon after the event, you'll have to procure a bicycle.

Cool! I can take my motorized bike (XS-1100 anyone?) and have a blast.
 
Kinda bummed they moved it farther from our neighborhood, but, makes sense.
Looks like the Goldline ends at APU, a little far to ride with the wife. Will probably try and park somewhere in San Dimas then. Check out some of the Wylde Stallionz’ home town! “Excellent!”
Squatch, what City you in? Metrolink San Bernardino line will drop you off along the route at Pomona North or Claremont Stations.

Thanks @DangerDirtyD , I think to hop on the metro we'd be taking the Goldline in So. Pas. to DTLA and then onto the metro. So, that'd be leaving SGV to go back through SGV.
Looks like there is a post office and library along the route in San Dimas, shouldn't be too hard to park there.

Not a bad way to spend the day. We started from San Dimas and stopped for brunch when we got to Claremont.
Then a pit stop in Pomona at old stump brewing where @DangerDirtyD stopped by with his girls to say Hi.
We rode around a bit more planning to double back and see @scan at the brewery, but, it was pretty toasty out. We ended up having some ice cream at the San Dimas Library and then my wife had to call it a day.
14 miles/ 305’

Also had a great time in Laverne/Claremont. Hit the brewery for lunch but couldn't really sync up with anybody else (@Sasquatch9billion ,@DangerDirtyD , @Cyclotourist ?). My sister in law was with us but couldn't ride due to medical reasons so the Mrs and I rode just a little mostly in the village in Claremont. Perfect day out and nice to be on the streets without! cars.

What’s the story on the pie place and what was on the menu at the brewery?
We’d just eaten, so o didn’t even go out to see what the food truck was.
