These are from last week, I briefly went to the Observatory in LA to check out the power uphill, this thing had absolutely no problem going up and no problem coming down. really sweet handling and great brakes too.

Thanks for letting me know but since I am working part of Sunday I won't be able to attend. I will check it out though.

Yes, it is awesome. In the evening it is all quiet and calm. The roads in and out, even if short, offer a nice series of curves that are a pleasure to take with bikes.

I love going there.

Hi Doug,

Try this thread for information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffith_Park

One of the motion pictures shot out at Griffth park Observatory back in the days gone past was "The Attack of the 50 foot Woman". It is right up there as one of the worst movies ever made...but made they were. Man that was a bad movie. sunny

I don't know about the fifty foot woman but I posted some photos of the place so people can see some of it at least.
