The Bikely route Seth put up earlier has it @ 33 miles & 4100 ft of
elevation. Guesstimate about 15 miles of dirt from looking at the route.

Did anyone get stats on distance, elevation, actual amount of dirt vs
pavement (the dirt always seems more because you're going slower!)?
Total ride time was around 5 hours for Jerry & I.  I'm not normally a
stat guy but that ride was epic.

That is a great smile!  And that was after pushing up the first real steep
spot on the roadie double you have!  Obviously not a serious cyclist.

Bleriot Guy Bruce (BGB) was hangin' and drinking beer about the point we
started missing him!

Great you could make this one!  Having it in L.A. let a few more folks join
up which was nice.  Maybe next month in O.C. so the S.D. people don't have
to travel so far?  Do they have any unpaved roads still?

This was an excellent ride, with a great bunch of guys. I felt like I
was experiencing that ideal world of hills, fire roads and country
bikes that I see in those splash photos on RBW's website. Thanks to
the organizers, and thanks for the Flickr photos.

I look forward to the next adventure.

[RBW] Re: September SoCal Riv Ride in Santa Monica

[Esteban]

Holy cow!  What a ride.  If you've ever found yourself longing at the
Mt. Diablo photos on RBW, and find yourself in Santa Monica, head up
to the hills for a mixter.  Photos:

Terse ride report:

12 brave souls climbed up Sepulveda, up to the end of Mullholland Dr.,
then all the heck up and down over the Santa Monica mountains to make
for one of the best mixed terrain rides I've ever been on.  I'd say
the ride was about 15/85 pavement/dirt.  This was an absolutely
beautiful ride, and of course, great company.  Thanks especially to
Seth for the idea and Aaron for hosting us at his place.  I wanna do
it again.
