Hi Niki! I'm glad you checked out this route. We hopped the fence at the Topanga School. I guess you need two people to do that, in order to pass the bikes across the fence. I'm glad you found an alternate. Perhaps we can go ride this together this summer and you can show me the alt. route? - Chris

I finally tried this ride today and unfortunately was stopped at the gate mentioned at Topanga Elementary. I couldn't find anyway over or around the gate, nor could the nice resident who lives next to the school. For those who'd rather not take chances on the gate simply turn Right at Topanga Cyn and two Lefts on Greenleaf and Gold Stone which deposits you onto the Henry Ridge Motorway.

As always, thanks for posting the route!

Nice write up and great shots! I love riding up there. Brandy invited me to join on this but I was too chicken as you guys are way way beyond my level. Thanks for sharing the post ride report. My friend Vic had a great time, I heard.

It was a terrific ride, with varied terrain, and amazing views. Budwood "Motorway" got the best of me when I managed a head-bounce, bodyslam that left me a bit beat-up. When we were kinda lost on the ridge between Tuna Cyn and Big Rock with no real trail to follow, Chris was the epitome of a "fearless leader", and Calvin was an awesome scout. All in all, a great day, and some great guys to ride with.
