Newton Canyon on Bike

Location

From the 101, 7.9 miles up Kanan Road (becomes Kanan Dume Road at Mulholland Hwy) park right before the 3rd tunnel. Head west down the trail into the canyon.

Misadventure

This trail fucking kicked my ass. I walked the bike halfway back up out of the canyon sweating profusely. There are plenty of excuses, the heat, the washout from this spring's heavy rain, but it all comes back to that I'm horribly out of practice biking and horribly out of shape. Oh well, I'll get there.

I think I'd better go back to Las Virgines and Malibu Creek and get a little better at this biking thing before trying the Backbone Trail again.
