    I need to head down to SD at some point tomorrow to visit the folks (Mom's got her tractor beam set to 'guilt' mode). I'd ride down if I could find a way to transport my stuff down there. As it stands now I'll probably leave in the evening so I'm free during the day.

    I am light on ideas right now other than riding to SD or SB. I have never ridden road anywhere in the Santa Monica Mtns, Angeles Crest Highway, or GMR. I am open to ideas. I live in Pas and can travel.

    If you see a woman in a FedEx van in Malibu, wave hi! Or maybe I'll be chillin' at the Stabucks at Trancas waiting for my freight. Wish I could ride 100 on Monday! Have fun!!

    I'm thinking of riding later in the morning after coffee. Could show you some SMM roads if you want.

    Endo and I hit up the Santa Monica Mountain roads today. Beautiful day to be out on the bikes. Endo was the tour guide as I have not ridden the road in the SMM. We started at Las Virgenes Canyon and Mulholland. We traveled on Mulholland to Kanan, Kanan to Latigo, Latigo to PCH, PCH to Malibu Canyon. We stopped in Malibu for a vege wrap and Endo had coffee too. After the break it was up Malibu Canyon to the car.

    Weather was perfect. The views of the ocean from the top of Latigo were to die for. It was interesting to see the detestation from the fires.

    Thanks again Endo for showing me around; it was great to finally meet you. I had a blast out there today!
