L. A. ADVenture Rides

Finally some more big bike riders! I'm going to WMRS on 8/5 and will be doing big bike friendly trails. Going back to Kennedy Meadows too on 8/19 and know the big bike friendly trails now. I do Cleveland National Forest down here in OC but found some good trails up by you not too long ago on a RawHyde ride off the 138 I think; something called old ridge route or something in the Angeles forest. 23 miles of dirt fire roads ending up around Lake Hughes I think. Joel knows them much better than I do though.

randal, we missed the turn off since our ride leader was using the old fashion style, always looking for a sign at the corner. good i had your gps track, and we found the entrance after turning around. we owe you a few beer and appreciate you taking the time giving us advices.

sito, nice pic.....and it happened to be yours.....



:ddog

eric, wmrs is on aug 5, 6 and 7.....

once we get some cooler weather, i'll organize a local big bike ride. maybe we do something sooner, do big bear perhaps after kennedy meadows.

I suggest Devil's Hole...
I feel it is time...

Of course! My bad.

OK, here's my contribution.







Love those SE's!








Who needs a side stand when you have a "Sito".

When is the HP-2 debut ride?

San Simeon pics




Don't miss this right hander :eek1




Thanks Joel!

I don't think he really bought it. I think he just snagged pictures from the net.

I've seen it. Maybe it was just borrowed.

I don't know if there will be an other ride report thread for San Simone ride but here are some pictures from my camera. I have tons of pics and videos more so we better have a separate RR thread, Joel...
