OMGI'd be so afraid of going off the edge! Now I know why I don't mtb. I'd rather be rock climbing

Scha-weeeeet!!!
Yeah, tho....the drop-off on that second section would make me second guess my decision to say "Sure. Let's go mountainbiking!"
But I could see where you could get smokin' on some of those other sections. Fun!2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

WOW! The beginning and end sections looked like great fun, but the middle section where it got narrow, rocky, and ledgy....no way could I convince myself to do that.
I'm very impressed that you ride that, FBG! Good on you! Me, I'll stick to my wooded trails in NC, I think....

If you like that kind of riding - you should come to Arizona to ride. It's very similar. The Phoenix riding is great, the Flagstaff riding (singletrack) is even better!

Wow is right. I agree with Emily the middle section would be a little scary for this rider. I fall way toooooo much to be on the edge of a cliff.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Here's a trail map
It's not so bad- really it's a rush! My friend crashed off the side back in January and broke a couple ribs. I've had a close call or two...
Here's a map: http://www.venturacountytrails.org/T.../AreaHome.html
We are just north of L.A.
The singletrack in the video is the Chumash trail. It's the one right in the middle of the map that runs east/ west. The fireroad at the beginning is Rocky Peak, which runs North/South. I posted a google earth picture once, let me see if I have it still. We ride a clockwise loop- about 10 miles. If anyone needs socal info, let me know, or check out this website for Ventura County.Last edited by fatbottomedgurl; 06-08-2007 at 09:37 PM.

Awesome!
Yep, the stuff on the edge of the ledge makes me nervous almost as much as off-camber trails. And I certainly wouldn't be moving that quickly either Very cool video and I'm jealous of the trails near you also

Yes! We have a huge trail system in Ventura/ Los Angeles counties. And we can ride all year (although when it gets to be in the 90's we usually ride at the crack of dawn or early evenings. I haven't done a night ride yet but I hope to.) I can ride out my front door and go all day for miles and miles without hitting pavement.
I had a friend who moved to LA from Rochester and her #1 surprise was that there were mountains in Los Angeles.
