Been a while but had some time over the holidays to get back in the game. C2M is the highlight for the year for me so looking to make it memorable. be great completing the full course with you and Sue. Brings back memories of the initial scrub run.

dude – good to see you back on the blog track, my Reader slot for you has been empty for ages
Hope you had a good Xmas break, sounds like you crammed in as much as you could. I’m starting the ramp-up for C2M, so see you there.

Comment on Injured and can’t go out and play :( by Joseph Keays

Hey Howard

I just wanted to introduce myself. I live in TO and within the past few years, I have come to love my longer more adventurous mountain bike rides. This Saturday, buddies of mine are returning to the Ojai area to tackle the trails. I’m a garminconnect user as well (joekeays) so I kept tumbling across (gravityh) as I was searching “rose” “lion” “howard” as keywords. We are starting up Gridley, down Howard Creek, to Rose Valley Campground, over Rose-Lion Connector, up Lions Canyon, down Horn Canyon, pavement back to the cars. 35ish miles and close to 8,000ft of climbing.
So I noticed you had quite a number of training rides/runs in the Conejo Valley so I had to probe a step further and I found your blog.

A great friend and co-worker of mine, Steve, just started trail running with his longest race a 50km near Santa Barabara months ago. I’m sure he would love to run with you someday since he lives in TO as well.

Chances are we have crossed training paths over the last few years so maybe we’ll see each other again.

Groups I ride train with:
1) Wednesday XX Tecate Mountain Bike Group: 5:00pm start Cheseboro Lower Parking Lot. Top Cat1 and strong Cat 2 MTB riders. Fun and competitive group.
2) I know quite a number of guys from the Road Colvita Crew out of Simi. I road with Christmas Eve. Fun and Friendly Group. Sundays are their rides.
3) Assorted friends who like suffering. HA

I also wanted to pick your brain about the Sespe Wilderness Area. I have a vision to tackle a 2-day, close to 200 miles of MT,B point to point but it’s not legal to ride in this wilderness area.

This past July I tackled a Dirty Century in the Conejo Valley connecting all of the major trails in the area. I was a perfect day.

Overall, I am very impressed with your desire to suffer through endurance events.

Thanks for reading

Funny, I was adventuring on a hybrid ride today through Moorpark and back to TO and we were on the some the same roads today but at different times. HA Small World.

Comment on Hidden Valley’s Hidden Trail by Eileen Culligan

I have a quick question.
We were hiking on the Backbone Trail from Encinal Cyn (near the fire station) toward Mulholland Hwy, then crossed Mulholland (toward Etz Malloy) and got to a junction. A fire road goes either left of right.
I know left goes to Yerba Buena, but we’ve never done it. We always turn around and go back to the car at Encinal.
We want to shuttle next time, but don’t know where to leave a car on Yerba Buena. Can you tell us how? Most appreciated. Eileen
