Whos in Santa Barbara?

hah no, family is in town from tonight to monday. and next weekend i got talked somehow into going to julies grandmas birthday on sat. ugh... and then sunday is superbowl....

i did that gridley trail to the lookout tower, it took me and some friends like 3-4 hours up and an hour down. going down was awesome.

 

I'm in the Sacramento area. I'm actually in Ojai right now, seeing family. Weather's a lot better than Sac. I brought my Drz400sm down to hit up 33. Today, (Wednesday) looks like a perfect day. Going home tomorrow.

 

You need at least a 5 inch travel bike and disc brakes to have fun, but still keep it real. DH bikes just make it boring. I used to ride it on a fully rigid bike, but that really beats the shit outta you.

 

you suck fool, i think we might go with out ya then...

HAHAHA, have fun at julies grandma's birthday. i bet thats gonna be great. dont foget, superbowl party at my parents house

 

have fun man. FYI the 33 was closed earlier this week heading into rose valley area. prob open by now...

 

i know i know, i might try and backout but if they have already made reservations for me then i gotta go. its ok i will get some good points by going to the birthday party and i think i got suckered into a superbowl party at julies friends place. maaaan i just realized im pussy whipped....

on another note i got some DR rear resi shocks off mikesdlbcab. gonna send them out to get rebuilt and then put them on my truck, i cant wait.

the 33 is now open not sure about lockwood valley road.

ya i went down it on a rigid tail, and it beat the shit outta me hah.

 

F-U jackass, you better tell julie whats up and you watching the game with us. you are pussy whipped you pussy

nice about the shocks though

 

man yal makin me want to move out there next week haha. hows the job market lookin in the ventura county area? I just graduated with a degree in wildlife and plantation management. really want to do something with wildlife, like a preserve or conservation. I know theres a lot of parks out that way. i also know a lot about running heavy equipment and have my GA Commercial Drivers License.

My gf is about to graduate with a degree in photography so im hoping we can find something for her too.

soooo freakin ready to get off the east coast for a year or 2

 

Your in luck, there are a few of willife and agriculture presserves out here, especially out at the channel islands, very nice islands right off our coast. I've done some snorkling, kayaking, hiking out there many times. They also protect some land on our Navy bases and parks. Also, for photography, she should find something, we do have a great photography college, Brooks institute, main campus in santa Barbara, and another campus in Venutra, plus Ojai is the Artsy captiol of So Cal, you will understand more if you make the move.

For all of you guys who rides bikes, what bike you riding in Ojai, I am down to hit up a ride, I'm rocking a 06 specialized enduro, 6 inch from and back, slight over kill for Ojai, but it sure is fun on the decents, and it beats riding my demo 8 uphill

 

Matilija falls?

 

Santa Ynez Valley here. Los Olivos specifically. 805 meet sounds awesome. Friday or Saturday nights anyone?

 

Any ideas where we could do an 805 meet???




Suggestions?
​

 

Try and check in with the Park Services around here.

I used to work for NPS In the Santa Monica Mountains.
It was an awesome job, great pay, benefits, and hours.

Plus its a Federal job

There is also the Channel Islands NPS which I hear is a much better.
However, you will most likely get tied into a funky work schedule with the islands. Something like, 8 days on- 6 days off island.

Think their hiring right now, starting pay should be GS5, which is about $17.87 hourly. Which isn't too bad for entry level...

​

 

why yes it is. good eye

 

um, spearemint rhino in oxnard??? trust me, i'm just kidding. if people were up for it we could plan a meet at hungry valley OHV.

so anybody around here truck savy enough to install a long travel kit??? i'll toss some money and beer your way for your troubles. i just dont want to dish out a couple hundred bucks to a shop

 

whos up for hitting some trails in Los Padres ?? Cuyama Peak look out tower, or maybe Ballinger Canyon ??

 

There has to be some good off roading trails in the Ojai area. A trail run would be awesome.

 

there's some stuff up the 33 past ojai. i'd been down for hitting up cuyama peak sometime. my buddy and i were back in lockwood valley a couple months ago and couldn't find the trail head to it. is 4WD mandatory for it or can it be done with 2WD and locker???

 

hell ya id be down for that look out tower, my buddy and i tried to find the trailhead but never did. that would be cool.

hey matt have fun hiking tomorrow, it was nice and sunny in ojai today.

 

were not going on sunday. we gonna wait for your little girl ass to be able to go. IDK when we gonna go now cause next week is super bowl adn the week after that me and claudia are going to palm springs
