    I had a friend at work tell me I couldn't leg press 10 plates so I made him this quick cell phone vid a couple months ago. This is knees to chest and at Cardio fit in Rancho Cucamonga.

    I'm 46 and not a big dude so go easy on me.

    I have only walked the loop and never road a bike. When you enter the loop, do you go to the left or stay straight to start? The hills on the left can be crazy steep and riding a bike up them must be a bitch.

    I go right because the ride down is better that way. The first time I biked it my time was 56 minutes (no stopping) and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun!

    Looks cool...In the video, you went to the left, dont you think the hills are alot steeper going that way?
    I have a mountain bike but I put slick tires on it for the street. I have gone from foothill and vineyard up Mills to the loop to mount baldy road and back down where it "Y's" I think its mountain or Euclid. Maybe I'll put the dirt tires on and give it a shot.

    That's what I get for posting that early in the morning. (I'm a night owl) lol Ya, I go left like you see in the vid.

    You or anyone else is more than welcome to join me, I go every Tuesday morning arriving in the parking lot 8:45-9:00 am

    I've gone both ways and going right is easier at first but once you come out of the forest area the climb is steep and far with little to no break for a while. Because that section is fairly straight you can fly down which is fun. Dropping down on the Burbank side or left side there's just too many turns and not as fun to ride down.

    I"m learning portion control as hard as it is goes along way toward weight maintenace. For instance 7 Ritz crackers is a portion, not an entire sleeve.

    I snack until i'm full instead of eating meals, gotta have a burger meal here and there. This all goes to shit at the river, but easy to get back on track

    Does that work like getting diet coke with a double cheeseburger.
