Little Tujunga to Vasquez Canyon to Bouqet Canyon to Spunky Canyon to San Francisquito Canyon to Lake Elizabeth to Lake Hughes.

Santa Monica Mountains: Las Flores; Piuma; Stunt; Tuna Canyon; Latigo Canyon; Mulholland Hwy.

18 towards Lake Arrowhead, then 330 back down. (Though this route is usually riddled with cars).

[dre_2k2_f4i]

...oh yeah, and to make ACH interesting, we can ride down Upper Big Tujunga and then take Angeles Forest Highway back to ACH. Or if it the snow has melted, we can take ACH all the way to Mt. High and take the roads back to Mt. Emma. to AFH to ACH. The possibilities are endless... *sigh* just need the temperatures to rise a lot.

Um I dont know about you guys but I think that OUR RESIDENT PIMP DRE has made it out to tooo many events down in SD for us not to come up there....SO Im down to roll up northside to do this...so DRE doesnt have to hoof it down here...It should go both ways...plus this is a chance to se some new roads

Actually, I go down to San Diego because those roads are still new to me: keeps my pace slower. Not that I am faster up here... just relatively faster to me.

My average of 2,000 miles a month dipped in November and December, but I blame it on the cold weather and ignition coil misfortunes. So you see, rides to San Diego help me bring that average back up, and assure I keep the rubber side down! :)

[Gixxer_6]

So when is this going to happen so I could maybe roll with you guys. I will ride anywhere, I dont care where it is. But I havent riden up north very much. i went to malibu one time and hit those twisties on the coast, but thats about it.

[HondaRider22]

I went to laguna beach over the weekend. There is this place called the top of the world with a great view including catalina. That would be a nice part of the group ride...

[speedster1219]

I WILL SAY THIS: If we are just riding then..anyhwere is fine...but if we're making this a competition..then I say SOW or Buttonwillow...
trying to go fast on roads you have never been on can suck...(Im looking at you GPTECH:eek: )...but im down to go to LA to ride....thats if im still here...:)

[shichyea]

I will say this: I don't think gp rides over his head... he's not prone to crashing like some... and who said anything about competition? did i miss something? :)

This ride is definitely in the iron ass catagory. But with any good ride the time and the miles go by pretty quickly.

And......when's the ride again?
