    GPS is cool

    Just took a quick spin around some Malibu canyon roads that I love.. a GPS snapshot of the highlights.. gotta love Stunt Road (real name of the road).

    What the map doesnt show is the elevataion changes here.. endless twisties and always either going up or down..

    What do the black dots mean? I am GPS illiterate. Like the idea of having one though.

    That looks like some great riding. How long is the route & how long does it take. A couple of us aprilia owners are trying to put together a road trip to see the motogp race. We will be looking for some good ridea before we head back home. Any other suggestions.

    The black dots are just markers along the route. if you zoom in on the screen there are even more black dots..

    This portion of the ride is probably 50 miles.. I would have to check to be sure.. just west of this ride is another 50 miles of epic twisties.. this is about 5 hours south of moto gp but its worth it as the weather / riding is great all year around here. especially nice in the summer as the ocean air keeps the canyons reasonably cool. You could also head down to the beach on any of these canyons and see a s#%tload of T & A right from PCH..

    More pics tomorrow as I will be doing a simiar route again.. this time with my camera!
