No Ride June 25
NO RIDE THIS WEEK (JUNE 25)
It is too hot. We don’t ride when the temperature is planned to be above 90 degrees. We don’t want anyone to get heat stroke and we don’t want to work all sweaty all day after riding in the morning.
Current Conditions on Sunday, May 5 – Outpost is under mandatory evacuations orders.

Poison Oak & Ivy Soap
We’ve got some really cool Poison Oak & Ivy Soap at the Outpost! Made to naturally alleviate rashes and itches that you may have received when you brushed up against poison oak & Ivy while riding through your favorite overgrown trail.
Boker Knives By Magnum
Boker knives by Magnum are now at the Outpost. We’ve got a wide variety of really cool hunting, pocket, and EDC knives.
Advocate Lorax
The recently released Advocate Lorax just arrived at the Outpost. Its kermit green paint job glistens in the Topanga sunlight. Come check it out in person, it would be the perfect bike for fireroad riding through the Santa Monica Mountains.
