SOCAL: azusa canyon 11/7

diablo250 · October 31st, 2009, 04:25 PM

Ok. many plan changes. Azusa back on, meeting at the shell station at the corner of CA-39 and 1st street in Irwindale. 10:45 for anyone who's reading this late and wanting to show up.

andrewexd · November 3rd, 2009, 05:21 PM

I may join you, we live really close im in 90019 olympic and crenshaw. The 250 will be gone today so i'll be taking the GSXR. just so you know ill be taking it slow, never been up azusa/gmr.

Beast · November 4th, 2009, 03:42 PM

Hey Mike, I might be in as well. Are you talking about the regular Azusa canyon? (9 miles then turning around and going back?).

ninjabrewer · November 4th, 2009, 06:32 PM

another maybe, depends on what happens this week at work.

I wish I didn't have to work during the weekend.

Have fun guys

diablo250 · November 5th, 2009, 10:04 PM

Looks like we got a ride. Meeting place has been changed to allow for pre-ride gas/food/water

paterick4o8 · November 5th, 2009, 10:42 PM

hmm one day I'll ride this route.. used to live in so cal for school, it'd be nice to go back and ride there

safe fellas

headshrink · November 6th, 2009, 12:38 PM

These are the only times I wished I still lived in socal. I used to ride that stuff on my mountain bike back when I was in school there... things moved a LOT slower then, and most of my day was spent inching uphill (wife liked my arse though).

diablo250 · November 6th, 2009, 07:24 PM

Tomorrow tomorrow! Anybody know for sure yet?

diablo250 · November 6th, 2009, 07:25 PM

I'm checking the thread at 9:00am. If I don't have any definites, then I probably will go spin on the bicycle for a bit instead...

ninjabrewer · November 6th, 2009, 07:49 PM

I am seriously considering it, unless I oversleep or have to much hangover.

andrewexd · November 6th, 2009, 09:10 PM

Im leaning towards no, I have to work in the morning and probably won't have enough time to get there sorry

also just read this from another site

"I just got back from Azusa/GMR. Heavy road work again on Azusa. The digital signs says 20 minute delays and we waited at least that long. GMR was cleaner than it has been in a while but there was heavy traffic from the work trucks. Also, backside was still wet from the night's chill, so be carefull in the morning shadows."

diablo250 · November 7th, 2009, 09:41 AM

I'm up for a ride...Check your pm, maybe we can ride somewhere closer if it's just us two. Give me a buzz

diablo250 · November 7th, 2009, 09:47 AM

malibu perhaps?

ninjabrewer · November 7th, 2009, 05:54 PM

Mike, (Diablo250) and I met up and rode the hills. This is a excellent ride one that I would like to ride again sometime and I HIGHLY recommend it to everybody, although novice riders, and I still count myself as one, should take it REAL easy. Lots of twistys, but ALOT of them had gravel/sand in the curves. Mike was in the lead and seems like he had his leg pointing out the stuff on the road more than not. Some of the turns were 180's or what I call switchbacks. We took it slow and easy since neither one us had ridden the route we took before. Lots of beautiful scenery there. Saw quite a few other bikers, but no where as many as I saw on ACH back in June before the fire. Speaking of fires, alot of this area was charred from the Morris Dam fire from several months ago. We rode past the dam as we were leaving Azusa. Before anyone post the

smilie, here are a few pics that I took. We had to leave right after we took these. Two bikers rode by and one was riding a Daytona 675SE, and my drooling started creating a mudslide.

Mike taking a picture of me taking a picture of him.

Another one of Mike and the bikes

Some of the charred mountains. Enough reason to be careful when in areas that are easily set ablaze

andrewexd · November 8th, 2009, 12:36 AM
