    Hi all, I've been off the bike for 2 weeks and itching to get out on the trails. Anyone up for a ride in the SMMs this Sunday 2nd? Trail suggestions welcome.

    If there is interest then perhaps we can make this a weekly / regular thing...

    If the Santa Monica Mountains were not on the other side of Los Frickin' Angeles, I'd be all over it.

    But I can't stomach driving through LA more than once a year. Have a blast!!!

    Hi Tom, wish I could ride Sunday morning, but have Rattlesnake training and then soccer in the AM hours. I may ride later in evening as things cool off, most likely a nice loop through Dos Vientos, Let me know if your interested.

    The drive up is great in the morning. When I went a few weeks ago at O'Dark Thirty, I was the only one on the roads!

    Notice that I didn't mention anything about the return trip later in the day. :whistling:

    First place that comes to mind is the backbone trailhead on Kanan, next to the tunnel. Small parking lot there.
    Out and back to corral is a great route.

    You might wanna keep your ride options for Sunday....easy. While PCE is not a lot of climbing....it is chunky, and you will feel beat up afterward.

    Dang! Sycamore Cyn trailhead off Wendy Dr is only 1/2 mile from my house. But I'm riding Mount Wilson on Sunday, next time for sure. Can show you the special stuff out there sometime.
