That looks like a pretty easy trail to ride, but that exposure would seriously freak me out.Strawberry Peak, Angeles National Forest
Easy is a widely abused word. One man's easy is another man's hell. But this is a fair example of what riding in So Cal is like. We are given a hard time about our easy trails here. Ive heard it from all AZers, NVers, and now PNWers. For me, riding is about watering my soul with the images and the sounds of nature, not about shredding the gnar. For example, if we did a ride in the PNW and I spotted a Northern Rubber Boa, you can betcha that I am going to stop and spent a solid 15-20 minutes with it, watching and taking pics. That generally drives other riders nuts because they are there to chase themselves (their PRs).That looks like a pretty easy trail to ride, but that exposure would seriously freak me out.
I've lived here forever and have yet to see a Northern Rubber Boa. I'll stop and pick up a garter snake though. They're very nice snakes.Easy is a widely abused word.

Really, ewww! The Garters down here expel a musk (and sometimes feces) and they are biting maniacs. Is that a California thing?I've lived here forever and have yet to see a Northern Rubber Boa. I'll stop and pick up a garter snake though. They're very nice snakes.
I definitely understand the outrigger technique. I'd be leaning hard right.Strawberry Peak, Angeles National Forest
I thought it looked fun. Agree "easy" is widely abused, I'd go with "do-able". The exposure stuff freaks me out, but the views...
