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!

^^^Piuma Road looking down at Malibu Canyon Road

Great ride if you live in LA and want something different. And if you haven't been there before. It was a Wednesday afternoon and the only traffic was on Malibu Canyon.

...with the fire jokes again...   Wink

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.  waytogo
  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   Cool

Ah, well.... next time.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

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.

Believe it or not, I can make it to Mulholland/Malibu Canyon in 20 minutes from here...  Roll Eyes

Yeah, this weekend is out for me too... Robert as well.   Next friday sounds good, though.   waytogo

Hit Topanga today... in the cage...   bang head

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...

Not quite the same on 4 wheels, right?!

I can almost guaranty we'll be out there in August, along with some other fun rides.    waytogo

Sorry I missed the run today. Worked late last night and have family in town for the day.


I'll probably be up there a least couple times this coming week. If anyone wants to join let me know.

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.
