Wish this ride was closer as it would be a excellent newbie ride. Just wanted to share some pics of the green, having grown up where it is green all the time I need the "green fix " more than most.

You should put this on your short list of rides, do it while the grass is still green.

Man I havent been there in years... I wish it was closer. If you ride the entire park it certainly can be epic.

It always reminds me of El Moro but in a bigger scale.

Pt. Mugu has a little something for just about everybody. Cool place to night ride too.

It would be a great place for an STR weekend campout.....

Couldn't agree more. The trails through there are perfrect for night riding. Lots of wildlife in the canyon bottom.

While its a great place, I avoid it like the plague on most any weekend, with the exception being a good evening or twilight run. Of course, with the cold (SoCal standard) weather as of late, I'd even be crusing around out there on a Sat. afternoon.

Awesome RR!

That looks like Sycamore Canyon, Backbone Trail, and Two Foxes Singletrack. Am I right? Did you guys Guadalusca also?

That area is incredible and this time of year it is PRIMO.

Here's a good route up there I've done which I can vouch for.

We rode up Lookout Fireroad and decended Guadalusca, out Ranch Road, up the pavement and down 2 foxes. I have been down Wood Canyan Vista Trail (Backbone) and thought it one of the better trails I have ever been on...want to go back and do it soon. I also want to ride Sage and Coyote Trails. Will be heading back there soon.
