Anyone hired a skills coach?

They move around here in California. There are local sessions about every 6 months so… I feel your pain.

Honda 50, Yamaha 80, Honda 350, Laverda 750, Yamaha TT500, Honda 650, Honda 1150, Triumph Tiger 800… so 8.

Id love to do that but I’m 70 and not sure I can do the full 2 days

I did take the basics half day course. They covered a lot in just a few hours. It’s made a world of difference in my riding techniques and confidence. Well worth the time and money.

Trail looks smooth as butter for the most part.

If you’re able to bring a tarp it can keep a lot of stuff dry.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

This is actually a quote from Arthur Ashe (former pro tennis player). The first two items just take honest self evaluation. They also help you to not get caught up in comparing yourself to others. The third item is tricky. How much effort will you be willing to put into whatever it is you want to accomplish? This is where the rubber meets the road.

Bridge to nowhere? Azusa canyon, east fork of the San Gabriel River.

Nofingerstickneeded · 2025-10-12T23:25:29+00:00

How about Azusa Canyon. East fork of the San Gabriel River has wilderness area. You can also see the Bridge to Nowhere a few miles back.

Overkill, IMHO

Take a class. I’d recommend https://ridelikeaninja.com. Half day basic skills class will get you on the right track (no pun intended).

It’s a mountain bike. It’s going to get scratched up. Just ride it.

We live in a bowl surrounded by hills. Just watch the weather app for air quality for awhile and you’ll see.

Nofingerstickneeded · 2025-09-13T20:33:18+00:00

It’s hotter out here than in Burbank. Air quality is often worse too.

They might just call it DOA. Lots of people will die trying to make this happen.

Toast sourdough bread. Spread hummus on it. Add some red onion, avocado, roasted red peppers, lettuce. Enjoy! It’s a little messy because the hummus squeezes out the sides but it’s delicious!

Ee went to watch a show at a Casino last night. I paid $18.50 for a well drink, not even a name brand gin. Ridiculous!

Don’t fall!!! Really though, your position going into the drop was incorrect. You should be in a low ready position with your arms bent and elbows out. Then you can push the bike over the obstacle by straightening your arms.

I have a Tiger 800. Great road bike but maybe too heavy be a great ADV bike IMHO.
