The Mt. Wilson Bicycling Association held its annual pancake breakfast at Henninger Flats on Sunday morning, April 29. Tim Murphy, founding member and spokes-man of MWBA, writes us:
The MWBA pancake breakfast at Henninger Flats was a huge success! In attendance were various dignitaries from LA County Fire, Altadena Mountain Rescue, the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame and the Angeles National Forest.
Also, Smokey Bear made a surprise appearance. Smokey said "Henninger Flats is so beautiful. I'd like to retire here someday."
There was also a special $1,000 donation made by the Pasadena Athletic Association in the form of a giant check.
We owe the Altadena Rotary a big-thanks for lending us their four stoves and griddles. Our guess is we had 400+ people attend and raised much needed funds to continue our efforts rebuilding trails damaged by the Station Fire. This was truly a community effort.
P.S. Now I have to get everything back down the mountain.....whew!
