Stan Onymous Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hey now Klin. I ride all over Los Angeles. Infact I am at Nick's Cafe just above Chinatown. I came down the LA river from Atwater village and will go by Dodger stadium and end up off of Sunset Blvd in Echo Park Silverlake. Where do you do your riding? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Klin, There are quite a few bike trails in the area. I haven't taken my EUC on any dirt trails yet. Let me know when you are up for doing a ride sometime.

Usually around my area, I live near the foothills where the San Gabriel Mountains are so I tend to ride those mountain roads and trails alot.

Let me know when you are up for doing a ride sometime. I have a Tesla right now and I have taken it on several dirt trails with many rocks and it does handle okay. I'm waiting for my z10 to come in before I tackle the harder dirt trails. I'm always down for a ride, I usually ride everyday after work and on the weekends as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Petrogeorge Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Is this forum still alive? No posts since 8/18, I live in San Diego, but I was hoping to hook up with a EUC LA group ride someday? Is there is such a thing as an LA EUC group? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I think LA is too spread out for a single group. But there is enough stuff going on in the area. Don't miss this unique opportunity: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Thread may be dead, but the Forum sub-group (Local Group Meet-ups) is very much alive. Southern California group rides are posted almost every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicksline Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My 1st Post! I'm riding (back side) Griffith Park all the time if anyone want to ride here. There's a fun adventure that I do starting at about 11 pm and riding about 10 miles in the dark around the mountain, past the Golf Courses. Starts at Betty Davis Park. Nice to be in the dark, have the road to yourself and no cars. Haven't ridden in a group yet. Cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mploy1515 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Anyone in the Downtown LA area? I'm only about 2 months into this, and breaking into the "intermediate" realm recently, but not quite sure if I'm skilled and ready enough to be navigating Downtown and pedestrians, cars, potholes etc -- looking for experienced riders to guide me i guess. As we all know when learning, speed is one thing, but it's a whole different game learning how to ride slow and controlled hahaha, so just looking for some riders possibly...

Nicksline Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hey mploy, If you want to hop the LA River Bike Path and take a short jaunt into Glendale, there are a lot of challenging but fun rides here and in Burbank. What's your stamina like? After this years LA EUC Tour, doing over 60 miles in a day is incredibly challenging so I'm sticking to about 30 miles a day. These are shorter but satisfying rides and some go into Griffith Park too. This is from Day 7 of the last tour.... Cheers, Nick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nick I've just been starting out to test my stamina with longer runs, and I think it's pretty decent / normal? I don't do 30 miles a day, just hard for me in particular to find the time for that, but recently did a couple "longer" runs that were about 30-35 miles I noticed; I think I did those each in a couple hours total? I've gotta check out Griffith Park apparently! My only qualms so far, is going off-road or on questionable terrain; I've yet to confidently ride on grass or bumpy dirt / gravel roads etc, would that be the terrain in Griffith? I'm planning to venture out and start to gain confidence on more off-road, but as of now, mainly on just paved roads / trails. Thanks for the info!

Nicksline Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hey mploy, There's an AMAZING ride that I do along the Chandler Blvd Bike path (32 mile loop). Takes me from my place in Glendale to Lake Balboa and beyond but I stop at the Lake to grab lunch and a beer. Then afterwards I hit up Griffith for Sunset. You'll have to come check it out. It's amazing! It's all paved roads and trails, you're welcome to join if you like. I don't really do too much off road in Griffith cause it's illegal, only on occasion. You see, I ride horses there too and they really frown upon vehicles on the horse trails so I'll do it late at night. Cheers, Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicksline Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hey TMS, I'm on a Gotway MSPro 2500w High Torque. I'm also a big dude, 6'3" / 225lb. I've gotten slightly over 60 miles off a charge before. GREAT wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
