Tuna Canyon Rd
#1



This is [url=http://goo.gl/maps/rTNHv]Tuna Canyon Rd in Malibu from Saddle Peak Rd all they way down to PCH. I used to train on Tuna Canyon when I was cycling competitively but this was my first time down it on a motorcycle so I took it easy. It's probably the most technical descent in the Santa Monica Mountains due to its numerous blind turns, off camber turns, decreasing radius turns, and steep grade. To make matters worse, there's no guidrail at the majority of the turn so if you go wide, you'll have to deploy your chute.

The best part about Tuna Canyon is the last 3 miles or so is one way so you can use the full width of the road and not worry about oncoming traffic.

Footage was captured with a GoPro Hero 2 mounted to my tank with a suction cup. I REALLY like this position. I can control the camera mid ride, and the reflections on the blinker and The honda logo look pretty nice in the frame.

Here's the video. 2:20 on is the prettier part of the ride.
