Riding the Santa Monica mountains and The Snake....
« on: April 13, 2017, 11:33:21 PM »

Picked my bike up from Metal Dragon in Hayward last weekend and while riding back home to San Diego made a slight detour through the Santa Monica mountains just a few short miles from all the hustle and bustle of Hwy 101 and I-5.

You'll have to excuse the shots.  Not as nice shooting with my iphone on the fly as it is with my Nikon....

and here is where I try to capture some actual shots of The Snake.....














And here is where we run in to my friend, owner and photographer of RockStorePhotos.com.   He's the guy that has captured some of the shots that I've posted on this forum of myself, Miguel and Jock.....
