Cops in the canyons?
«

Hey All...
I am finally taking a sunday off to go riding, but I heard from one of my peeps that there are going to be waaay more cops out patroling the canyons.
I heard it was only LA county, but does anybody have any more info? I don't get to many days off and I really want to ride and not worry about a
pinching me just cuz I'm on two wheels, whether I'm breaking any laws or not. My friend cancelled her ride today because of it.
Does anyone know if this affects Ventura County? I was thinking maybe going out towards Ojai.
Post up if you know any info...
Thanks,
=Ryan

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

Usually if you're out early it's cool.
If you take 23 over to 126, I've nver seen a LEO there.
150 is quiet
33 can be a crapshoot especially close to town.
Good luck and have fun. [moto]

ACH has been heavily patrolled lately due to fatalities, but seems to be later in the morning from what I've been told.
Same thing on azusa/gmr.
Seems to happen every year.

That's the story in the Santa Monica mountain canyons, too.
A few years back, the Sheriff's dept created "Operation Safe Canyons," if memory serves, it basically dedicated 5 or so units to just patrolling canyons. Whether or not the official program is still in effect, there is seldom a weekend ride where you don't see a bike and a LEO off to the side of the road doing paperwork.
That said, it has yet to me be. But, I'm a slow poke so it makes sense.

I went up to ACH on Friday around noon to try out my 14T sprocket and down at the bottom section I came out of a right hander and decided to open it up a bit, to my surprise there was a
coming down the road at the same time. I nodded at him (not sure why) and chopped the throttle. For a moment I debated, gun it? or take it easy? I tooke it easy. A few mins later he was behind me and I thought the worst but to my surprise he followed me for a few miles then faded back. I pulled over to take some pictures and he passed me. I continued up and he was hiding in a turn-out, probably waiting for me

You can ride Malibu or ACH at 6 am-8am and rip it, IMO. I ride the Crest at 7am and 7pm on select Saturdays...and FWIW, I've never seen a LEO on the thirty-three. Moto officer (nameless) on the ACH patrols on most weekdays as I understand it. He targets commuters that use the canyon pass out to the desert, heard he gets off work at 6pm.

That's probably true. I've gone up to ACH afterwork and it's a ghost town up there. Clean open roads for miles on end.

it's really more back to an old, big problem on TOB and simple ways to avoid it.

Hey! Thanks to everyone for the tips...
Unfortunately, too much tequilla on saturday night meant too much not being able to ride sunday morning.
