Malibu Bike Climb



I let Jon take me on a bike ride Saturday up Malibu's canyons.  He said he wouldn't take me anywhere I couldn't handle it.  He was true to his word as I could handle it, but it was wicked hard.  The four mile ride straight up the mountain took about an hour (not including the flat tire I got).  The ride down averaged 35 miles per hour and took about 7 minutes.  It was awesome!
Mostly I couldn't believe how beautiful the day was for mid January.  Malibu's water was crystal blue, the hills were bright green and the air was mildly cool.  I wore short sleeves for the ride but was happy I brought pants and a long sleeve to wear when the sun went down and we stopped at the Reel Inn for dinner.
