Looking forward to this route

I call it Old Topanga, Los Flores, Piuma, Stunt, but it was just a damn nice ride around the Malibu canyons. Take a look.


 

Return to the scene....

This time no crowds, nice way to do a ride. Exactly why, can't we
ride here?

OMFG

Bear is an understatement.  Last night I rode Brand Motorway to the top of the Verdugos and then did some EC down Witing Woods to meet up with the OTB crew.  Lets just say that it was like doing single leg presses in slow motion up half the mountain, and 'spinning' at about 20rpm for the other half.   Looking forward to the next ride.

The Bruin: maiden ride

First ride on the new SS to the top of Mt Hollywood. I know there are
no bikes allowed there but it was Monday evening and I thought who
would be hiking there today. Turns out it was sister cities day at the
top with hundreds of people gathered and flags from every nation
displayed. So I came I saw I left. Quickly.
The bike has been dubbed the bruin as it has my school colors, blue
and gold but also because it's a bear to climb really steep stuff on.

SS 9r

Built up my new single speed 29r mountain bike yesterday that I had sitting in the garage for a month or so.  Its a little crazy ridnig on the street as the gearing is soooo low for the street that to get any speed you have to spin like a hopped-up hamster.  I kept moving my thumb, looking for a shifter to get into a higher gear.  The disc brakes are a bit weak, maybe they need a break-in, but if not, I may try using v-brakes which are lighter anyway.  The first ride was to Umami Burger.. the first real ride should be my loop in Griffith Park.
