  1. The ones at the end are the better pics.

    http://home.att.net/~bruce.edge/dc/

    This is Agoura Hills, CA, 10 min from my house. Stopped off for a bit on
    R&R on the way to work, well, about 2 hours worth. Me, Rodd, Todd, and
    Rodd's wife, Dena, who is a trooper for letting us drag her down suicide.

    Bad light in the beginning, bit dark still.

    The first bit is the climb up dead cow, which never ends. Few techie
    sections. Everyone made each section individually, but no one could
    string them all together.

    Group mug shot. More bad light, sorry. Well OK, bad photographer, cheap
    camera, etc...

    The next chute is waaaay steeper than it looks. It was such perfect
    trail conditions after the rain that we had to go back and do again, and
    take pics.

    Next is a wide loop around Simi peak, AKA China flats. Just fast
    singletrack.

    Last is the suicide drop. Not too many pics, it's hard to stop when
    you're in the zone. Few snaps of Todd on some of the steeper bits.

    Todd went over a ledge wrong and I found him clutching a rock. Looked
    like he was kissing it. It was the save of the week, no injuries.

    At the bottom of suicide I always have the adrenaline overload jitters.
    Man that is fun. There's something to be said for being right on the
    edge of eating it for 20 min non stop :-)

    Open invite to anyone in the area. Kick ass trail if you've never done it.

    Nice pics and RR. I'll have to check that trail out sometime.

    It's nothing like the north shore stuff, but it's way more fun than
    slogging up fire roads all day.

    You're too kind. I thought the first ones were kinda boring.

    These are my favorites spots:

    I need a better low light camera. Or, perhaps I just need to learn how
    to use it :-)
