I'm in Sherman Oaks. I work in Burbank. My weekday rides take me east toward Glendale. My weekend rides either take me west via Wells Drive to Mulholland Highway, or south on Sepulveda to Mulholland...at which point I must choose East, West, or South toward the beach.

I'm close to Ventura and Sepulveda. Weekday mornings before work, I ride to Griffith Park. On weekends, I generally head toward the foothill area (Angeles), toward Thousand Oaks, or to the Santa Clarita Valley.

I am in Marina Del Rey. My rides from here can take me from PV to Mt Wilson to Oxnard...and pretty much evey where in between.

I have to say, I have lived (and rode), in SF for 10 years and SD for 8, I think LA has some of the best riding for city living in Califonia. I has it all, great climbing, great views, short-challenging weekday rides, and awsome city riding (on Sunday AM).

What do you all think?

I'm here, too. South of Ventura just west of Woodman. I work in the Wilshire corridor at Wilshire and Highland. I've recently started commuting to work a few times a week. I ride out Moorpark to the Universal City subway station, take one stop to Hollywood/Highland and then ride the rest of the way down side streets to the office. i ride the whole way home, taking Cahuenga over the hill, paralleling the 101. It's about 20 miles round trip. A good way to get regular rides in without carving into work/free time. Just basically free rides timewise. It takes me about an hour getting in and an hour ten coming back (damn stoplights). Most of the time, I feel very safe on the road. Don't have any weekend rides in the area yet, but I'm going out this weekend to look. I plan to start riding with L.A.Tri Club soon, maybe that'll be the ticket. Any suggestions appreciated.

Live near Valley Circle and Burbank.

--Ride to Box Cyn. /Santa Susanna Rd. for short rides.
--Ride to Mulhalland/ Stunt/ Piuma Rds. ( occasional PCH when really motivated) for longer rides.

I can be recognized by the Landshark I am riding. Usually huffing and puffing trying to get back into shape, rather than actually being in shape!

...between Corona and Yorba Linda? The last time I tried to go through (quite a while ago), the trail was closed because of the construction work involved in widening the 91 Fwy. Once it gets cooler again, I want to ride from either Anaheim or Fullerton up to Riverside.
