Title: Great local ride today!! Post by: The Bearded Duc on May 12, 2010, 05:26:33 PM I decided to head out exploring today.
If I want to get out locally I usually just ride Sunset to the PCH then through Topenga Canyon and back. I decided, today, that I would try some different roads. I road up the PCH to Malibu Canyon Road, made a right on Piuma Road and then a right on Las Flores Canyon Road. An amazing local ride!

And if you haven't been there before. It was a Wednesday afternoon and the only traffic was on Malibu Canyon. Title: Re: Great local ride today!!

Put a fire under your shops ass and come tag along! Title: Re: Great local ride today!! Post by: The Bacon Junkie on May 13, 2010, 02:17:51 PM Yeah, it's really kind of amazing! I had to stop a bunch of times just to enjoy the view!! Put a fire under your shops ass and come tag along! ...with the fire jokes again... ;) ;D So, you finally discovered Piuma? One of my faves. [moto] I'll hit Piuma to Scheuren (just before Las Flores) and instead of turning left onto Stunt at the Lookout, I'll head straight onto Saddle Peak. It has open sightlines and lovely smooth pavement. [thumbsup] At the end of SP, you can go left on Fernwood down to Topanga Cyn, or right onto Tuna Cyn. Tuna turns into one way, so you don't have to worry about oncoming traffic. [evil] Last Friday, orangelion03 and I did this route turning left onto Fernwood Pacific. Left on Topanga, Left onto Old Topanga. I live in Moorpark, so we took Mulholland to Valley Circle and then hit Woolsey Cyn up past Boeing/Rocketdyne and then Black Cyn down into Simi Valley. Black Cyn is gnarly! Tight hairpins, big dropoffs with no guardrails, epic views! Why you not call me, Bro? I totally would have met you... just say'n 8) Ah, well.... next time.

[bacon] Dunno, I guess I just assumed that you wouldn't want to come all the way down here. I told Robert I would be willing to do that run next Friday. I'm a little tied up this weekend.

[roll] ;D Yeah, this weekend is out for me too... Robert as well. Next friday sounds good, though. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Great local ride today!!

It's been far too long since I've been out to Malibu on my bike, but my trip today reinforced the need. I'm guessing you guys will still be out there in August, right? I'll have more free time...

I'll probably be up there a least couple times this coming week. If anyone wants to join let me know. Title: Re: Great local ride today!!

Post by: The Bearded Duc on May 16, 2010, 07:58:21 PM Yeah, for sure Miles. I'm thinking Tuesday or Wednesday for sure. Bacon and Orangelion03 say there's almost no traffic on Fridays so perhaps then as well?
I'm usually free during the days so let me know what time is good for you. Title: Re: Great local ride today!! Post by: duc_poultry on May 17, 2010, 01:58:44 PM Yeah its pretty good on Weekdays!
