[RBW] Re: Sulphur Mtn Ride Report
Yea, Rob I remember that ride, esp. that 1st paved section after the Sulfur mtn climb. Beautiful country and the lack of traffic make it a fantastic loop. Maybe some time this summer we can get together for a ride in your area. Looks like I won't be moving south until later this year. ~mike On May 26, 7:56 am, Tim Whalen whalen...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Sulphur Mtn Ride Report
Rob: That was a great ride we did last year. Ojai is perfectly located for a lunch stop. The return from Lake Casitas is mostly downhill so the end of the ride is relaxing. This is one of the most accessible, mixed surface rides in the area, with no difficult navigation. My Atlantis was shod with 35 mm Marathon Supremes. The unpaved portions are well maintained jeep trails. I recall we saw a mini-van along the way, as well as a guy on horseback. dougP On May 26, 9:27 am, James Warren jimcwar...@earthlink.net wrote: I just climbed the blues up some fairly steep dirt.
