ANF is just beautiful. Thanks for not going so fast that we couldn't enjoy the scenery. All those gentle sweepers must have been a real treat compared to city traffic.

Hi, Mr. WW,
Thanks for the tip, about the crousing speed...
I made as careful as I could when the video were taken.
However, video output seems(feeling) little bit faster than actual riding speed.
Next time, let me slow down little more.
Original clips are look ok, I had to encode down for uploding to YouTube, as org. file size are too big; I used MS Movie Maker.
I think that Google also reduces uploded files when they got from users....
Anyway, glad to hear you have enjoyed some....
Thanks again...

Looks nice. Makes me want to get out and test my skills in the twisties again. Maybe after my show closes.

Hi, Mr. Alan.
I wonder how your show is going on..

And if you want to go to Angeles Forest,
I would recommend start from South/West entrance and end at the North/East road.
There are some reasons.
1. I personally felt that much easier to ride down from top of the mountain at the east, because north/east part twisties are more gentle than south part of forest.
Ride up on twisties are much safer than Ride down .... for me. ha ha ha
2. Mostly, if you spend time at the park you may ride down at the late afternoon. And you might directly face Sun lights when you ride down to the west twisties.
That's very uncomfortable when riders face sun lights at the corners.
But, in the summer, it might be better because sun is little up above at the sky.
3. I felt that West part has more cage traffics than the other part... pretty sure about it.
4. and etc... that I can't remember why.

Anyway, thanks for your comments...

Hi, Mr. WW.
Would you elaborate me more about "Darn Ranger pick up will not lean into a corner." ?
Seems you had great time at the ride....

Actually I was in the twisties with the Ranger. It won't lean into a corner and will just not counter steer either. LOL. Tomorrow I will be riding and doing a bit of exploring close to home. The Sea to Sky Highway in B.C. along the coastline is a sweet ride on a bike. The weather will be just right for mesh gear and I now have an MP3 player with some tunes. The tunes will be good as long as I don't get distracted from riding safe.

Re: Angeles National Forest >> video tour ^^:

Thanks for tips Busy. I agree with the easier up than down. I have done some bicycle riding up there. When I was training for my double century I finally made it (on my second attempt) all the way to the top of (Mount Baldy?) road. The last eight miles took me almost two hours. Smoggy that day too, my lungs hurt for the rest of the day. It's a dangerous ride on a bicycle - there is no shoulder in most places and lots of drunk "picnikers" weaving down through the twisties. If I go on the Strat, it will be a weekday morning. I need new sunglasses - I'm going to get some mirrored aviator LEO style if they still make them.

Show is going good. We opened last weekend - preview Friday, Opening Gala Saturday and another show on Sunday. Six shows this weekend, starting tomorrow night. Do you have a facebook? There's pictures on there. Also check www.chancetheater.com. You can read a review of the show here: http://stagescenela.com/html/hair1.html
