I’m in in the Westlake Village, CA area (north of LA) visiting family where I grew up. I rode 25+ miles into Hidden Valley, one of my favorite and most nostalgic of places to ride. I did this ride countless times as a teenager and never grow tired of it—idyllic farm country just on the edge of suburbia, often used for car commercials and the like.

My elementary school alma mater.

Behind the bars & through the valley.

USA-made.
