    I roughly did this ride in reverse tonight and never ran into anyone. My brother in law and I went up Mulholland, down Sullivan fire road, down squirrel cage, up Sullivan canyon and back down Mulholland. I guess we had the trails to our self.

    My strava only recorded half of the ride so I am not exactly sure.

    From my experience, Westridge & Sully Canyon hold up well after rain as there is not much clay content in the soil. That being said, I'm not 100% in for tomorrow, something is not quite right with my shoulder.

    I cannot join Thursday, but if you're available/interested in riding tomorrow night @ 7pm, drop a message in this thread.

    I know it is a bit late in the game but I am going out for a ride in about an hour if anyone is interested.

    Beachcruiser & I did a mellow spin up Westridge, down the canyon. We did see some lights coming down Sullivan's Fire Rd, otherwise We didn't see any other cyclists. I hope you had a good ride. We hit a little head wind on our climb, but it made for a really clear night with pleasant temps. Gotta love So Cal.

    Just got back from a ride with Bing. I went down and then back up Westridge and then did a bit of Mulholland and Farmers. Good times!! Sorry I had to start so late and missed you guys.

    Who's in for tomorrow night? Plan is to meet on Bayliss near Queensferry and be pedaling by 7pm. Please drop a message here if you plan on making it. I know we live in So Cal, but the weather should be perfect.

    I'll be there if my back feels better - tweaked it yesterday morning while locking up my commuter bike. :?: Still dealing with muscle spasms today, but hopefully it'll improve by tomorrow. Anyway, don't wait for me. If I'm going to be there I'll be on time.

    Jim, is this the same issue from the last time I rode with you??? I hope you feel better and can join us.

    See you tonight.

    Sweet. See you tonight.

    No worries. Yes, we try to roll by 7pm.

    I'm sure our paths will cross at some point!

    Well I am not sure if I saw you guys or not. It was a very busy night in the mountains. We must have seen 12-15 other riders. Good night for a ride!

    Yeah, same old problem. Seems like I've had a lot of flare-ups lately. I probably could have ridden last night, but since I'm planning to ride Palm Canyon this Saturday, I didn't want to push it.

    I hope you all had a fun ride.
