The tour continues... The next morning I met up with Gabe and Rob P, a board member of both the Lowelifes and CA MTB (the CA Mountain bike...

After trail work I did a bit of exploring up top Mt Wilson. There is some cool trail up there. Nice views to the east

Which bank is that? My long time bank just got acquired by US Bank. They seem ok so far but I'm looking at options.

I read this article a few years ago, came across it again today. About fires and debris slides above LA. Article is from 1988. Great read. ...

Thanks guys! Well I need something to keep me busy : ) Yeah we definitely have some good stuff down here. Lots affected by fires but...

Unless we decide it needs some significant bonus climbing, Idlehour from the previous day's ride is not part of the Orogenesis route. Just on the...

Now it just refers to Harley Davidson riders, so it's perfectly acceptable to continue use in that context. : )

Urban canyon riding from tonite

I headed back to San Diego for a day while Gabe headed up to LA. I made the drive up there on Friday planning to ride Idlehour Trail with a buddy,...

That's interesting if a CNF map actually showed it as a route. Was border patrol actually there for you? With how busy PCT is now I think it...

That's not a failure to yield. By slowing down as you approach a hiker you give them plenty time to see you and react. If they step off the...

One of the more interesting sections of the route is from the US/Mex border at Tecate, north towards I-8. The Hauser and Pine Creek Wilderness...

Sounds brutal. We get lots of thistle some years which is annoying but doesn't leave much damage. Worse is in the mountains we get buckthorn...

Fair enough. I've transported 60lb bags of quickcrete in a backpack, riding in by bike. Also have used a bob trailer pulled by an ebike with a 60lb...

Fuel loading would be a pretty useful to consider in a Wildland Fire Potential Outlook, you'd think.

That's not what the website says "National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook (Monthly-Seasonal) is normally posted on the first workday...

I'm surprised most of SoCal shows "normal" in Aug/Sept. Our huge rain year has led to massive brush growth which is steadily drying out. I'd think...

We conveniently left a truck at the bottom of Noble Canyon Trail. It was getting a bit late in the day to do more exploring, but with lights we had...

Didn't feel like driving 25min back to where we'd camped the night before and there was pretty much zero chance that spot would still be open. So I...

RA, have you checked out new trails near Kanab, Tilted Mesa? Looks pretty cool. "It feels like Wire Mesa and Grafton Mesa had a baby, and then...

Yup. The idea was for the name to be more interesting and thoughtful than most long distance trails which tend to be reference location or...

For a second ride we drove up above Idyllwild and would ride back to my truck still parked in camp following the proposed Orogenesis route through...

Gabe showed up to camp pretty late so we didn't get to riding until the crack of 10am. Fortunately temps were good. We opted to check out the...

Gave this a try for breakfast recently. Cut avocado in half and remove seed. Crack an egg into seed hole on each side and sprinkle cheese on top. ...

That photo gives me ptsd. If that corridor was in socal half that brush would be poison oak. Do you guys not have lots of poison ivy out there?

What is the handlebar pole for? I'd use the PVC pipe but mount it along the top tube to hold a long handle tool like shovel, hoe etc. Those are...

Which ultrasonic cleaner are you guys using? Interested in recco's
