For the remainder of the week I’ll be riding the mountain bike. I’m staying ‘in the valley’ through the weekend and Chris is showing me his personal stash of mountain bike rides in the area. It’s been since CO Springs that I’ve had so much fun off road; so far so good here!
Yesterday we rode some canyon trails up into the Santa Monicas to hook up with the Backbone trail. Let the good times roll! This tight singletrack is amazing with lots of fast flowing corners, pretty good traction all around and of course spectacular views of the Pacific and the surrounding mountains. All things said and done, this area could have the potential to be my new ‘favorite’. I’ll have to give it a couple more days of riding to make that call however.
And here’s Chris, ripping in it up. Thanks for bringing an ‘outsider’ out for some awesome riding! This fix of mountain biking was necessary since I’ve been spending a huge proportion of my time on the roads lately. All part of keepin’ it real… Later, TJ
