No, no. I USED to hike - as much as I cycle, in fact. I planned to climb Whitney, Half Dome, etc. I have hiked Mt. Wilson from Chantry Flats many times. But then I bought my bicycle, angered all of my hiking buddies (who now ignore me when I ask them to hike ) and took off on this cycling obsession. HOWEVER, I do like to hike from time to time and if anyone on here ever wants to hike, I'll post one off of Lake Street in Pasadena. It could be the So Cal cross-training hike. It's up by Mt. Lowe and it's a butt burner. Gorgeous to do around sunset (with flashlights!).
