SoCal group ride - Millard Canyon, Pasadena; awesome natural

[Zyzzyx]

Got out with a group today, in the hills north of Pasadena. Hadn't been up to Millard Canyon before, but I'll definitely be returning.

On the ride: Zak Maeda, Pete Sturtevant, Daisuke Koya, Sam Phelps, Sean, Casey, and myself. Casey was definitely the best rider out there today, I think he's at Pro level. Definitely had us all watching at times. The terrain was incredible. Stuff available for all of our skill levels; low sport to pro.


Most of the gang, breaktime.

Casey, gapping to the next log, and the down to one just above the creek (out of view). My favorite picture of the day.
