North Hollywood checking in. I work in Valencia though, right off the I5/ 126 exit. We should do a group ride at some point.
West Hills here, anytime you are ready...I  know another FJ09 guy interested as well...PCH Hwy1 ?...hwy 33? Lake Hughes?..just throwing ideas out there ;)
All great roads! ACH is my favorite, but the more local roads are just fine as well. Can't wait for the weather to improve and the roads to get cleaned up a bit.

Welcome all, from Northridge. I have tried for years to get a So. Cal ride together, to no avail. I will join in if someone posts a ride. I have been riding these roads for many years, but have been lax lately since Ty's passing. I need to get back to it when the much needed rain stops.

Sorry for your loss :( 
I lost a friend on ACH back in the '90s...it sucks.
 
I used to be the guy that organized Sunday rides, but those days are long gone. I'm in the phase of life now where I'm deciding if its Legoland or Disneyland (or what other kid activity) we're going to do on the weekends.
 
I'm thinking if nothing else pops up though, that I might try to organize a group ride maybe once every few months or so. That should be fine. I just can't do the every weekend thing for the next few years while the monster babies grow up. (which is all good)

Time to wake this thread back up!  It's Spring time, now lets do some riding!  I'm up in Santa Clarita and don't mind getting a group ride together.  I did 335 miles to Palm Springs and back roads back two weeks ago.  Did 200+ mile ride to Santa Barbara last week.  I'm still trying to decide where to go this weekend.

Awesome! I'm booked for the next few weekends, but I'm also in the SCV and would love a group ride before The Hot takes over. Let's do this!

Anyone also open to the idea of a week-day ride to maximize the experience? [avoid the many tour 8-) ist  ]
 

 
Definitely!! It's actually easier for me to get a day off of work than a day off of family.

I'm in Oceanside, Northern San Diego county.
Awesome! You can host the Palomar / Salton Sea runs :)

Either Ojai or Crest would be awesome! My weekends are pretty booked up in May. Any chance of a weekday run?

Anybody else on this thread? I'm starting to get a bit busy at work, probably first half of May should be good.

My wife has eye surgery next Wed, so that's going to sideline me for a few, but early June is looking good. I might be good to go as early as the 5th. Weekdays are still best for me.
