Today I spent the day riding with some folks from the Sherman Oaks Riders. I found them through meetup.com, a place on the net where you can find a club that represents just about anything in your area. Today’s ride destination was Crazy Otto’s, a great place for breakfast if you like good, traditional breakfast foods served up in HUGE helpings.

Inside Crazy Otto's

Our ride took us from Sherman Oaks, California and into the Soledad Canyon. After riding the super-slab into the canyon we hit some really nice sweepers and the ride leader pushed us to just the right level of aggressiveness to make the ride exciting but not so much that it’d cause one to freak out. An absolutely awesome ride with perfect weather! Then we got to Crazy Otto’s where we enjoyed good food, good conversation and an all around good time. I even ran into the good folks from the Southern Cruisers Riding Club, Antelope Valley Chapter. For those of you who know me, I ride with the SCRC, Mt. Baldy Chapter, so any SCRC member is family.

After we ate, narrowly avoiding the dreaded “food-coma” we hit the road out of there and through Bouquet Canyon into Santa Clarita. From there it was super-slab the rest of the way home. It was about 200 miles round trip for me and as I said, an absolutely perfect day with a good bunch of people. I hope to ride with these guys again soon, and from the looks of it, they ride together frequently.

Here are some photos I took from the day:
