Ride - So. Ventura Cty./W. San Fernando Valley
Ride Call -
Location: Oak Park, South of Thousand Oaks just shy of Ventura County/ Los Angeles County Lines
Friday Morning from @9:00 a.m. to @12:00 to ride Lower Suicide Connector. Ride starts with a 2 mile hike up a steep incline to Dead Cow Road. Would like to hike or attempt riding up farther on Dead Cow Road, then turn around and ride down. Time and energy are limiting factors. Hiking time is @45 minutes. Decent could take over 1 hour or a little longer. It depends on how far up rider(s) goes before turning around.
This is a very technical ride in some spots. I will admit that some are too difficult for me, but a more experienced rider would find them challenging and rideable. Over half of the trail going down, is rideable for the advanced rider. You could ride up I guess, but it would really sap your energy. I hike it to save my knees.
Brakes highly recommended, but not necessary. Not recommended for 29ers.
Another rider with vehicle can make this a shuttle ride which would eliminate most of the hike up.
Exit Kanan Road and head North to Oak Canyon Park. Meet in parking lot where you see waterfall right on Kanan.
