Jeff, I'm working as a course marshall this year. I'll have a jersey full of tubes and C02. I've got to get there like 5:30 am to help get some stuff put up. This ride is sponsored by the Upland Chamber of Commerce, but it's really about our bike club. We have 4 members of the city council in our bike club, so that helps.

We are taking over

Resistance is futile....

You will be assimilated.

Today Upland
tomorrow....
The World!!!

Last year was an amazing sight seeing you all riding across Foothill. I'll be down that way on my job route so hope to catch the start . Once you cut down from Baldy you go by a block from my house. Hope to stop in at Upland Memorial Park after to check out the goods at all the tents. Knock 'em dead out there!!!
