TTFs on TrailBerm
Super fun connector trail, but has been damaged by the rain in the winter of 16/17, leading to a lot of rain gullies, both skinny and wide, shallow and deep. The trail begs for you to ride it fast, but be cautious if it's your first time and always beware there could be hikers and horses coming up.
Disclaimer
Multi use trail including horses. Ride cautiously on weekends.

Thirty years ago, this trail was NOT open to bikes, never has been. Folks started to ignore the no bikes signs everywhere at that time, and here we are. The poachers have royally pissed off the land owners. If you wanna know why, ask the person who led you to this trail in the first place.

Does anyone know if that gate is legally established? Rich a*sholes in LA have a long standing tradition of illegitimately erecting gates simply because they have the money to do so.
“We” should look into this. Completely ruins the area as a destination.
