Canyon Carving

Sadly, I had to work today down in Long Beach. So to turn lemons into lemonade, I drove PCH most of the way back and as a bonus, I finally had a chance to take my 135 through my favorite canyon.

I found the 1 to be wonderfully tossable and look forward to relearning the route once again with a new vehicle. I had a smile on my face the entire time!

The little things really do matter.

EDIT: I forgot to mention a secondary benefit of the canyon run. My annoying brake squeal is gone. Apparently the theory of glazing in heavy traffic was completely true, I heated up the brakes pretty well throughout the run.

Malibu Canyon can be fun as well.

Right before Decker Canyon.

Decker is sweet, especially after the repave a couple years back.
Have you tried Latigo?
