    I moved to SoCAL from NorCAL in January and am looking for people to ride with and new places to ride. I currently ride PV all the time but I really want to find new trails. I live by LAX. Any advice on where to go would be greatly appreciated.

    welcome. keep an eye out for rides in the "calendar" section of the site. a few of us still hit "the cizzle/del churro" (del cerro) from time to time. lots of so. OC rides going on too.

    Justin what part of NorCal. I am a Sonoma/Mendocino County transplant.

    Don't tell me anything south of San Francisco, because that is not NorCal...just kidding. True NorCalers know that NorCal does not begin until north of Cloverdale.

    Santa Monicas and San Gabriels....good riding.

    Welcome Justin. You'll have no problem finding new trails and hooking up with lots of riding partners here. Evaluating their mental stability may be another matter

    Why spend good riding time evaluating that which you know to be abnormal and unfixable? ;)

    I've never heard of Gaviota, but I've always thought NorCal starts at Ventura.
