Yeah Glendora Mountain Road is very very fun. You can't go too fast, unless you want to get killed... on the several 180 degree turns.


Thanks for the info, theres this site that gives us a lot of roads, http://www.lateralg.org/roads/orange/foothills.htm for us, but it has roads for California and Globally.

Nice site. I like how they break it down by fun/difficulty. Looks like your nextdoor Glendora Mountain Road is one of the best in the area! High fun, high difficulty, no traffic, roads in good condition. What more can you ask for?? You should organize a drivethrough there one of these days. I'd definitely come along.
