I'm thinking about heading up the 2 to Newcomb's on Sunday.

Plans are tentative as of now.

Is the 2 still overpopulated with squids and [leo] [leo] [leo]?

I'm prolly gonna head up the 33.   [evil]

I'll leave from Santa Barbara, 192 --> 150 --> 33

SO many different ways to get to Ojai  on good twisties...  I have maps!   ;)

It's a small window going up the 2 on the weekends, to early and there's TOO much bike traffic. The [leo] seem to spend most of their time on the lower half before the pseudo traffic light. Go to late and there are no [leo] or squids but far too much car traffic. I prefer the the mid week jaunts, far less of both.  [thumbsup]

I would love to come ride with you, and I assume Carl, this weekend but it's almost 2 hours away on the slab!! I checked a map and there's no real place to meet that intersects your route.  :(

Check it out.   Go the loong way around....  Make your way through whichever twisties you choose to Valencia.

Take San Francisquito rd to Lake Hughes rd.  Turn left.  You'll end up on the 138 (straight and sucks) for a few miles.  Hop on the 5 for one or two exits, get off in Frazier Park.  Head west.

Aww make the beast with two backs it... let me google a map for ya...

I'm thinking an early jaunt up the 2 on Sunday is a good idea for me.  I'll be taking it easy anyway so I'm not worried about the  [leo].

Squids coming at me on the wrong side of the yellow line is a concern though.

I assume this would be the route you're referring to...

http://g.co/maps/stzs (http://g.co/maps/stzs)

What time were you planning on heading out? And is there a place to meet at Lockwood and the 33?

I'll know my plans for sure by tomorrow afternoon (Friday) [beer]

Post by: The Bacon Junkie on August 25, 2011, 10:27:04 PM
Yeah, kinda like that Sean, only if ya start off the 210, you can hit Little Tununga Canyon, then either Vasquez Canyon, Spunky Canyon, or even Bouquet Canyon over to Copper Hill, then hit San Francisquito Canyon.  That way you avoid the frakin' 5.

That being said, I'm probably out for Sunday.  :P

BUT...  If anyone wants to meet me in Moorpark around 3-3:15pm Saturday afternoon, I'm going to head out Walnut Canyon down Broadway through the orchards, groves, and alpaca ranches to Balcom Canyon.  Then S. Mountain Road into Santa Paula.  Then the 150 into Ojai. I'll stay on the 150 all the way to the coast.  Or, just before meeting up with the 101 again, I'll turn right onto the 192 [evil] through the hills of Montecito and drop down into Santa Barbara.   Very fun route.  :)

Just confirmed that I'm free to ride free on Sunday.  Anyone else besides MID interested in riding with me, drop me a PM.

MonsterInDark:  I'll PM you my phone number and directions to my place in Santa Paula.

Turns out I have to work on Sunday now so a shorter ride works better for me. Think I'm gonna head up the 2, Nordog what time are you planning on riding?

MonsterInDark, come on out on Sunday for a run up the 2. I work Saturday night so I can't head out too early.

If you guys are wiling to meet up around 9 or 10am that would be awesome.

I was thinking around 7am, or even earlier.  Didn't think anyone was interested in the 2 for Sunday, so I haven't, ah, officially cleared it with the boss er, I mean wife.

You interested in meeting up at 6:30 or 7:00 for a quick ride up the hill and back on Sunday?

Good ride today with Matt, aka MonsterInDark!  Yeah, it was hot, but the roads were great.  300 or so miles I reckon.

Only complaint was a group of "bikerz" that raced through Ventucopa at 150mph while I was turning across lanes into The Place.  Vests said Hooliganz...more like azzholez...

Glad you guys had a good ride. I'll be there next time, promise!   [thumbsup]

And just so you know, it takes a lot of skill to 150mph in a straight line.   ;)

It was definitely a great ride! it was awesome to ride up the 33 for the first time....great landscape and even better roads....Probably the only thing bigger then the rock wall canyons was the Ass on that hooligan rider who about took you out at a buck 60 lol.....but  i definitely found out that i need to branch out from my 30 mph snake runs and get more comfortable with 60-70mph sweepers so next time i can keep up with Robert! lol It was definitely a great experience despite the heat and i learned  a lot just in the hours riding with Robert...and i hope that i get a chance to ride with more of you guys so i can learn from you all as well!  [thumbsup]

Thanks again for the ride Robert! hope next time we can get some more members to ride and check out angels crest!  [beer]

That dude'z azz was HUGEZ!!!!  I felt bad for the Buza he was riding.

Another comment on the Hooliganz:  at leazt two of the dudez were wearing Mohawkz on their lidz.

Not one of THAT group, but there was a MILF on the back of her SO's bike that had a blonde pony tail sticking out of her helmet...it took me a moment to notice that because I was staring at her boobz.  A truly outstanding freckled and well displayed rack.

I'm down for whatever. Right now I have a date with The Snake on Sunday (I'd rather go Saturday). What do you feel like and when? Are you still free on the weekday(s)?

Post by: The Bacon Junkie on September 07, 2011, 07:36:23 PM
I'm free after 6:30 on weekdays. 

I have something saturday until 3:30, nothing so far on sunday.

I try to stay away from the snake on weekends, unless it's really early, or really late in the afternoon.  I hate all the squids, wannabe's, etc... that take over.

I'm up for Piuma, Las Flores, Scheuren, Saddle Peak, Tuna Canyon, Fernwood, Old Topanga, etc...

Or Decker, Mulholland West, or something.  Or the 33 again!  [evil]
