Wblle the start was open, the motorcycl1sts consumed 276 donuts and almost 30 gallons of coffee. The route was purposefully cut short in order to give the riders plenty of time to compete in the many games to lake place at the finish. The riders left Pomona and rode south to Carbon Canyon where they headed west through the canyon to Whittier. North v1a Col1ma Road and Azusa Boulevard, they took to the San Bernardino Freeway for 5-1/2 m1les to San Dimas Avenue. Riding north by It's llea_1Io durlnl til. tutOf·•• at the Knllhts Pok.. Run.
