Lil Ride: Saturday 9/5 ... Malibu Funyons

[erkishhorde]

Yes, the photog was with us but he only got pics of our group and I didn't see you in there. Wear a tutu next time. 

Ah well, thanks for looking for me. I'll have to wait and see if the other guy was the Rockstore photo guy.

Coincidentally, I found another member of your group on another board. Goes by the SN Chazz. Never met him before but he mentioned your group when I was posting about the popos at the Rockstore.

Just to satisfy my curiosity because I've never ridden with you folks (I'd get left far, far behind, anyway), but what's the "usual route?"  I went the far-too-crowded route today from PCH North to Topanga Cyn, then Old Topanga Cyn (gets pretty tough towards the top!), across Mulholland, and back down Topanga Cyn.  Good fun.  I suppose Decker Cyn is the more challenging one, but that's just from reading, not experience.

I think it's something like this but I might have it wrong. I pretty much just follow the leader. A lot of the first half is residential so if you get pinned for speeding it can hurt. The road also isn't the smoothest and if you're really picky about road conditions like I am, it can be disconcerting. The last half I'm not sure if they go down Decker or stay on Mulholland usually. I don't remember there being a building at the intersection with PCH the last time I went with them (which was years ago).

Ya don't need to be worried about being slow. I'm the slowest guy around and I still pop out once in a while to bog them down.  They're good at waiting and junctions so you don't get lost.

Certainly looks challenging, but a lot of fun.  I'm a pretty leisurely rider most of the time, but I do speed up now and then.  I don't offend  very often.

I might sneak up on you guys next time.

Details please...

eh...annoying (not you, the ticket).

North of Las Virgines on Mulholland.

I rode with ONE HAND the entire way in order to keep my speed down. Paced me doing 60+ in a 45. They were handing out tickets like crazy.

Sorry to hear.  Fight it...

Sorry to hear.  Fight it...

I plan to. Open to any and all wisdom and insights when it comes to fighting a basic speed law ticket.
