Sat 5.17---ACH

Awoke to a beautiful morning and took off for the Crest.  At the base by 7:00am.  Saw one rider coming down, otherwise some locals at Newcomb's already, about 6 bikes.  Had a coffee and came back down; no LEO's out yet, BUT:

Several Suicide Squirrels, one Suicide Snake basking in the Sun and some loose rocky sections here and there...several cyclists climbing on the lower section.

Will most likely return this evening at 7pm, and again, 7am on Sunday.

Gusduc and I had a lovely peddle around the hills of Palos Verdes this morning.  Roads were clear and steep.  laughingdp

Okay, yeah, nice to hear from you guys...BACK ON TOPIC... Grin  (Rideon!!!  NoMods!!! good to see you here!!!)

Sat 5/17 7pm ACH

Again, no one up there...nice and cool...I know I have no life, but the evening time is a GREAT time to ride up there...the way up was awesome, no Sun in the face...the whole way up was clean (musta been swept) and clear...I saw one bike coming down at the very bottom....otherwise...HEAVEN.

I was up there today too. I haven't ridden ACH for over a year. I saw that Suicide Snake! Stopped at Newcomb's for a quick bite.

Freakin' hot out there today.

          Okay Smarty Pants (BadDog), I rode a Norco CCR--yep, it is Canadian.  And for the record, I only ride two things fast,  my Ducati and my Norco CCR.

          Hello Joe, thanks for a nice thread--apparently most of the cool kids rode motorcycles today, the rest of us provided our own motor cheeky

Sun. 5/18/2008

PVE...........22 miles of rolling roads............. no Police..............lots of sun & good company in the form of GregP waytogo 

Saw a guy on a Honda Rebel.... he must have been tiny because it looked normal laughingdp

Btw we were on the bicycles again as we couldn't afford to buy gas & join JC on ACH.......... good news is we made a full ride without a flat or me taking a pit stop at the fire station cheeky

I heard that GMR was open again after about a month or so closure due the Mt Baldy fire. So I decided to check it out. Met up 3 other buddies late afternoon yesterday and we started up through Azusa and made our way on GMR. It was actually pretty clean for being closed for a few weeks. Great weather!!!!!!
