Sunday Mulholland Short Preview

Filed under: Rides and Routes — Gnarley Spoke at 5:55 pm on Sunday, March 26, 2006

A very nice early morning preview of Topanga Canyon, Mulholland and Stunt. Just a prefect day. The Morrie express left at 6am, we were heading up the Canyon at 7:20. Had a bit of a mechanical with a Mavic spacer, but all was great. Especially the several hundred small, toasty garlic bread bits in Venice beach.

Watch the Spring Classics live on cycling.tv. This appears to be the future of niche television programming. There is a ‘mostly daily’ news show and the Premium version (only $20 for the year) that provides a few nice extras. OLN? 1 hour a week, eh?
