I tried to get Josh into it but he fell down/went boom/got a boo-boo less than five minutes into the first ride (missed a turn and ended up upside down stuck in the mud with the bike tangled on top of him - I still laugh every time I pass that spot...).
Well, the terrain you ride is vastly different than what I ride here in CA. Due to that, our riding experiences will be very different. We have mountain passes. You have freeway overpasses.

The adrenaline rush of climbing, then descending, say, Casitas Pass, or Mulholland Drive, is pretty awesome.

Pack up your bike, and come ride out here. Be sure to bring your climbing legs and lungs.
