Los Angeles Wheelmen Quad 2012....400 miles....24 hours.
For my 108th Triple Crown Double I decided to do it twice. Crazy huh? We left the Valley at about 2:15 am for Malibu and the start location near Pepperdine University. We were doing the ride this year a week earlier than the actual event, as a staff ride. We were staffing one of the rest stops on event day. I guess you could call this a recon of the entire lowland course. The temperature was perfect for our scheduled 3am start. In the low 60’s and overcast. Just a slight wind out of the west. We left into the darkness a little after 3 am on the famous Pacific Coast Highway. Ready to roll....photos courtesy of Cherisse Sherman Off we go!! Segment One: Malibu to Ojai.
