we ate this place... food was good.

the girl working the cash register is so cute but it's not my style to jock on girls so i didn't do anything. :frusty:

plus, it's too far for me so even if i could date her... it'll be too much of a hassle.

that sucks that there's no tiwsties around your area.

we don't really stop in the middle of the canyons unless it's a biker hangout place. so i don't have pis of the road itself. maybe next time, i'll use my camera again... but don't worry... i'll turn it in the other direction. :wink:

Thanks Verm (sorry, I just cant do the whole CR thing) It'd be cool to see how twisty those roads actually are...the twistiest thing around here, well, I can see the end of the corner from the beginning usually *L

The desert does look really scenic, considering its mostly rocks and sand. 8)

upper big tujunga/ACH ride/sand canyon/little tujunga ride w/ weegee and mike.

both these guys are good riders. im very impressed w/ them. they improved a lot compared to the last time i rode w/ them.

here some pics...

these are from the sand canyon picnic area...

i took a pic of the gravel patch that i rode over too fast and lost it.

our bikes...

on a sad note... i was having a good ride until 1 right hander on the way home.

i take it back... i no longer consider myself a canyon carver. i messed up pretty bad on this 1 turn... i ran wide over to the other lane. i just lost my focus. im so upset w/ myself... even more than when i dropped my bike. :cry:

i went to sports chalet and bought UA(under armor) gear.

i can't believe i never bought these before... they're expensive but it's really worth it. $60 for the upper piece and $40 for the lower.

it makes putting on my 1pc so easy. i just slide right through it.

i went canyon riding w/ weegee and mike again and it really works... it cools me down. :D

i highly recommend this product!

Verm, did I miss something? Did you fall down again?
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.
