Headed out to Joshua Tree

So I am headed out to ride down to Joshua Tree National Park. I will be spending the night there and coming back on Saturday afternoon. Once I stake my claim on a camp site I will probably relax and get some work done on the laptop.

You are not allowed to ride off road so I will have to make the most out of riding the paved ones. I will post some pics over the next couple days. The desert is an amazing place and the photos always come out looking great.

Part of the adventure here in Southern California is that there is so much to explore. I have lived here for three years and I probably still have hundreds or even thousands of treasures to discover. If you have never made it out to Joshua Tree, you are missing out.

"Open Source" approach to motorcycle riding

So I want to take an open approach to helping people become better riders. I have met several people that don't know the basics and really don't understand the advanced stuff. I am on the lookout for some experienced riders who are good instructors that wouldn't mind giving some tips to new riders before going out on a guided ride.

I already have a small group going this Sunday and I am bringing two very experienced riders with me to help give a quick 30 min overview of riding in the canyons. We will be departing the Hollywood area Sunday morning at 9AM headed for the Rock Store on Mulholland Dr. There is no reason why anyone should have to attempt to ride the canyons by themselves for the first time. This ride will be pretty tame with some fairly easy roads.

If you want to join us leave a comment with your email address and I will send you the information. Don't worry I am moderating all comments and will not publish your email address. All types of bikes and riding levels are invited to join. There is no cost at all to be a part of this. It is open to everyone! Hence the "Open Source" part.

The start of my blog

So I have decided to start a blog like everyone else on the planet.

I would like to think of Adventure riding in LA as everything from canyon carving to trail riding and lane splitting. I hope to provide good information here that is useful and will try to keep it short so I don't put anyone to sleep.
