    I'm gonna be in Northridge on Friday and I'm looking for something good to ride in that area. I have to drop my daughter off at Cal State Northridge at 9 and pick up at 3:45.

    Any ideas would be great. I'm looking at backbone:kanan to corral canyon.

    Kanan to Corral is good but it's only about 13 miles (hard miles)
    I'd recomend Rogers rd, sulli cyn or ridge loop. If you want to make it a bit harder start climbing Caballero instead of parking at top of Reseda.

    New Millennium trail in Calabasas: 95% single track. Look up Bark Park on Las Virgenes Rd that's probably the easiest trailhead to find.

    Chesebro canyon: off the 101fwy. Lots of options there.

    Scorpion park/Bell canyon: located at the end of Vanowen St in West Hills. Gives you access to Ahmanson ranch, upper Las Virgenes and another way to access chesebro

    Up Las Llajas Canyon fireroad to Rocky Peak Fireroad over to and past Seashells, then drop in on Chumash Trail for some good fun.

    Or a variation with more mileage and elevation gain is Las Llajas to Johnson Motorway up Rocky Peak and down Hummingbird. A bit of road riding back to your car. Just watch temps as the valley has been hot this week.

    Thanks for all the input guys. Ill look into those rides today.

    I wish I was at that time of life. My daughter has been dancing at a ballet intensive with the Joffrey Ballet this summer. They are using the campus for the training. College is still four years away. Congrats on your boys senior year and good work to you and mama for all the work you put in to help him get there.
