A really fun ride, especially with some knobbies!!!

The amount of walkers/hikers compared to last time was amazing.  We had to
be pretty careful dodging them (and their off-leash dogs) going up and
coming back down especially.  Great to see the trails getting used!

Great photos, guys! That was a fun ride, crowned appropriately with a
couple of monster deli sandwiches and refreshing Hangar 24 -- loved
that stuff.

I look forward to December's ride.

Jim, We have a tentative request in for Chino Hills State Park, riding out
of Yorba Linda in December.  Aiming for the 13th which has tentatively been
ok'ed by a couple people so far...

http://www.flickr.com/groups/socal_rivendell_bicycle_appreciation_society/discuss/72157622685585543/

Palos Verdes could work out fine for a '10 ride, work up a route and throw
it into the mix.  We try to do more coastal rides in the warm months, but it
appears we will never have winter again, so it's all warm months now!

Thanks Chris,
I'm still working my way back up to strength without hurting the knee. I'm 
hoping to get out there with you one of these weeks. I did think about going 
today but ended up doing a flat 25-miler. Rough rides on "road bikes" are my 
favorites.

This isn't on the epic level of Rough Rider rides, but a good potential So Cal 
RBW Ride one of these months would be a mixed surface ride ending with a 
challenging dirt climb on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Warning though: getting 
to the ride is about a 20-minute drive from the main freeways, and there is no 
easy way to get to the ride by public transit

The weather out here in Santa Monica has been stellar the past few
days. A little crisp, maybe, but clear skies as far as the eye can see
-- and that's something you can't always say about the LA basin.

I got my bike juiced up and ready to go. See y'all in the morning.
