So I just got back from an over night trip up to Lake Casitas, which is just a few miles out of Ojai. Here is what my bike looked like for the journey.

On the way up I hit a lot of traffic, but just in LA. It took me over an hour just to travel the 40 miles to get past LA. I really don’t like that city. I took the 1 up after that and it was gorgeous. Its funny how I can feel a little nervous on the 5 going just 30mph in traffic, but on the 1 I was averaging around 70, and it just felt so good. There is something about riding with a bunch of cars in ugly scenery that just makes me so frustrated. Anyway, when I got to the campsite I made this quick little video post. Take a look at the temperature I was riding through in full gear.
