    Good day all,
    Moved to LA about a year ago after 8 years abroad. Finally got an mtb today (it's not easy these days!) - it's used and pretty sweet and I'm dying to ride. I don't think I have enough time for Stough Canyon in Burbank tomorrow so I may try to hit Hastain. Happy for and advice and to meet, particularly folks workng this area.

    Hi @Nag Welcome! Can't wait to hear the backstory of your screen name. There are a handful of riders on this forum on Niners.

    I've never heard of the two trails you mentioned, but then again, I lead a sheltered life in the OC bubble. Glad to hear you got back into riding. Ride a lot and write a lot!

    Rule#1 You can't say your bike is sweet without pics. :facepalm: How's that for nagging? Welcome.

    Stough cyn. is a fire rd. in Glendale that connects to a few other trails and some single track here and there. It's okay for a quick loop before or after work-if you live close by. I'm curious what the other trail is though. There are some trails over by the WB studios but, I think those are all hiking only.

    BTW, Welcome @Nag !

    Actually, you are not allowed to refer to your own bike as "sweet". That is how all of us are supposed to repsond.

    they're dropping the ball here though. I've never heard anyone call my bike sweet...so yeah Nag you go ahead!
    But then I have CRS so it may have happened, but doubtful.

    and Welcome to the forum!!

    I appreciate the rule setting. Really I haven't bought an mtb since the 90s so anything from the last decade is sweet.
    I rode w Mandeville, Sullivan Ridge, First Crack today. It was hot, dry, but great to get out. Anyway, here she is

    Several people called your bike sweet when you unveiled it at Big Bear last year - but I have to admit, more were ogling the other two GGs and kind of left you out. :(

    I don't call bikes sweet, but I do call twisty dropping single track with banked corners sweet.

    I don't call things sweet so much anymore either, but I'm trying to bring it back.
    Anyway, thanks for the warm and somewhat sarcastic welcome. I looking forward to exploring area and hope to see you guys out there.

    I think @mtnbikej started the somewhat sarcasm, he can come off as a grumpy ole codger from time to time. He's a lot "sweeter" guy on the trail. Being that he is an inspector for a living I assume he deals with grumpy old welders and stuff.

    So I'm hoping for more memory leaning towards "Warm Welcome", sans the somewhat sarcastic...

    :thumbsup:Mikie

    Indeed, it has been a warm welcome, thanks! And I do appreciate a little ribbing and calling-out. I am an aspiring codger myself, and a masshole (from the Boston area) by birth - we're all jerks back there.

    I lucked out a bit - so hard to get a bike these days, but saw this for 2k on pinkbike and pounced. Dropper doesn't return, and the shocks don't lock out very well - a little too much bounce on the climb - but overall a pretty sweet (yes) bike for the dollar, I think.

    You can probably give Crank brothers a call or shoot them an email. They're pretty good about repairs or offering replacements when stuff breaks-which is often for CB stuff.

    I had that same dropper for maybe 8 years. They fixed it once and replaced it the second time. Never any charge. Worked great otherwise.

    Or just bring it down to Crank Bros in Laguna, pop in, have them fix it, and then go for a ride here. We have some trails. :thumbsup:

    Masshole - love it. I've heard of maskholes, and I've been to Boston and other parts of Mass a few times - never heard of Massholes. :D

    Welcome, you are in a good place for a base. As you have found Sulli, you can also reach Sulli from Caballeros (Reseda blvd south). Then there are many north of you and west of you.
    and North west there is Hummingbird and associated rock trails.
    Enjoy the new trails
