2 rides in 1
Started off the day with this group and did a climb over Little Tujunga.

A view before the second downhill.

That looks like a great place to ride.
What are the grades on those hills? |

Looks like a great place to ride. Nice pix and great views! But what's this with the short-sleeve jerseys and regular bike shorts?! It's winter! That ain't fair!:p
|
It was 45 degrees at the start, but got into the (gasp) high 70s later, (sorry).

Nice pictures, it is nice to be able to ride in such beautiful country. Nice pictures. Reminder to self, take my camera with me when I go for a bike ride. ;) |
Hi John,
Is that Pete in your last shot? Rode with my club today and got a whole 500 ft of climbing in 42 miles. :rolleyes: Will have to figure out when we can ride together again. BTW, a bunch of us "old guys" (including Reggie) are racing in the 45+ race in Brea tomorrow. If all goes well I'll also do the 50+ race after that. |
Hi Cleave. Yes, that's Pete on one of his three gorgeous Colnagos, and our club president Keith in orange.
I'm thinking of doing Magicant's ride next Saturday in the Santa Monicas. |
This was taken last summer-right? No arm warmers, leg warmers, etc. And did all the trees get blown away?? Just kidding of course.
Seriously-looks like a great group and a terrific area to ride. I wish we had some hills like that closer to home. Thanks for the pics! |

Have you ever noticed how much flatter the hills look in pictures than they do from the saddle?
I wonder if getting closer to the ground with the camera would give a better representation of the grade? Any photographers out there know? I don't want to be run over by a car trying this if it's not going to give me a better picture:rolleyes: |
I try to keep the camera level, so as the road rises or falls away that angle will take care of itself and show the proper grade.
Anyway, nice pix! You kept the horizon line level and natural looking as well. |
beautiful!

Great pictures, especially appreciated here in Illinois with morning will chills -20 to 29 F and memories of good riding weather beginning to fade.
