Except for 4 years of high school in Huntington Beach, I spent my first 30 years in west Los Angeles, and I have lots of fond memories of cycling in Malibu, Topanga and Tuna (I am still royally peeved that it is now one-way DOWN -- should have been one-way UP or left two-way) Canyons, Rambla Pacifico, Malibu Canyon Rd., etc. I do not think I ever braved the intensity of wind you are showing in your post.
