I'll be in West LA in May on a business trip and a number of colleagues are going golfing. I have a pass to go mountain biking but don't know any of the local trails. Any suggestions for a good ride within 30 minutes of the LA country club? Definitely prefer single track, but I am happy to climb fire roads if that's all i can get nearby so I can get a ride in.
Also, I need to rent a nice bike nearby. Would love to Demo a Santa Cruz Blur TR or Tallboy, but I'll take what I can get of similar quality.
30 minutes might only get you 2 miles away from LA country club depending on the time of day hah. But yeah, without leaving West LA, Sullivan Canyon/Will Rogers Backbone is probably your best bet.
Just an FYI, Helen's no longer rents mountain bikes. They said it was becoming too much of a maintenance issue. So I contacted Topanga Creek Bicycles. Very helpful. I'll be renting a Niner Jet 9 and riding the trails from their shop.
How did the trip turn out? I'll be in LA (Manhattan Beach) this coming April and I'm thinking of renting from Topanga Creek Bikes and riding from the shop.I'd like to hear how your experience was.
