Niner Demo Days is fun and success.

Posted on October 18, 2014 by Topanga Creek Outpost Adventures

Our Niner rep, Robert, showed up while the stars were still out with a truck load of Niner bikes. We dispersed them for a couple hours and went on the morning shop ride with the majority of people on Niners. Back to the shop for banana bread and coffee. A completely successful event, fun morning and great day.

We were up early for the Niner Demo Day.

We stopped for a quick group shot

5:50 AM on a Saturday. We really like this brand.

A lot of people signed in.

Plenty of Niners for everyone.

Everyone in the photo rode a Niner for the demo day.

We road mostly in the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.

A lot of riding and chatting is normal for our Saturday rides.

Robert, our Niner rep, was at the shop super early with the Niners.

Robert (Niner) and Candice had their first ride in Topanga.

In full swing, the Niner Demo Day was a total success.

Niner motivated on a Saturday. Stars in the sky.

We rode one trail today that we have only ridden one other time in 5 years. Great little single track.

Sam’s Salsa Mariachi

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Topanga Creek Outpost Adventures

7 years ago, Sam rode with us at Chesebro on Wednesday nights. His Surly Crosscheck fit in the sidecar of his motorcycle. We haven’t seen him in years, and he surprised us stopping in to be outfitted on a Salsa Mariachi. Ready for Adventure.

UnPredict Your Wednesday at Alamo Mountain

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Topanga Creek Outpost Adventures

UnPredict Your Wednesday was in the Los Padres National Forest at Alamo Mountain. From LA, head up the 5 and take a left through Hungry Valley. You really should take a 4 wheeled drive vehicle. Some of the road would be impossible for a sedan.

The guys camped overnight and explored the area the next day. This was an easy camping adventure day. Mostly getting out of LA for some camping and riding.

We drove to Alamo Mountain in the Los Padres National Forest after the shop closed on Tuesday. There was a gnarly 4 wheel drive required dirt road up the mountain to get to camp.

Chris sometime uses his bivvy. It was really windy and a little chilly so the bivvy was comfy and warm.

We woke up to a great place. The camping area was slightly neglected but, the scenery was amazing.

We explored some fire roads to trailheads. It was a leisurely fantastic day.

We rode around Alamo Mountain on a road that looked like this most of the time. It was an amazing fall feeling day.

There had been a fire in the forest a few years ago. Some of the riding had amazing scenery.

We love good stewards to the lands. Keep our forest as they are.

The trailhead sits next to the Sespe Wilderness. Jay thinks he might have seen some condors. They are protected and thrive in the area.

Chris rode a geared TCB titanium frame and Jay rode a Salsa Mariachi single speed. The grades were a little steep. Everyone was happy with their bike choice for the day.
