hi all, just moved out west and got back on the bike. i spent a few years in nyc and they brainwashed me into thinking mtn biking was not fun anymore. found ridemonkey by hopscotching through a zillion mtb-related sites and it seems like a good place to waste away the work day.

if any ladies out there would like to ride in the santa monica / los angeles area, drop me a note! excited about exploring the trails that fill every nook and cranny of the LA mtns. i raced a little bit in college and go a little too fast downhill on my hardtail.

also, i lolcats are completely played out, but i envisioned these two:

and it made my evening. nice to meet you all! have a safe ride...

:cheers:

thanks ladies. just spent an hour cruising thru the MudHunnies section, the Roam thread especially. i love that RM has a section just for "Beer & Food". lunch is soooo far away...

heidi - any favorite SoCal trails you can recommend? i've liked sullivan canyon, will rogers/backbone, and chumash/hummingbird the best so far. still getting used to all the crazy climbing you guys do out here. o i miss the good ol' days in uber-flat singletrack central illinois...
