- I've never been on a mountain bike ride with ocean views like I have at Portuguese Bend Reserve in Palos Verdes, CA. This week let's take a spin around a loop only feet from the shoreline of Southern California.
I'll give you all of the details you need to make this loop happen and advice that will make this ride even more enjoyable.

"Take it easy..."
My 7 year old daughter watching with me, "He is NOT taking it easy." 😆
Great video as always!
Love that!
Thanks for sharing a cool trail system on a beautiful day.
This channels helps alot thanks dude all the trails i have ridden is because of this channel ! Keep em comming
Love hearing that! I'll keepem' coming Bryan!
Great videos. Nice that you give details of the ride, route and where to start etc.
Thanks for watching John. And the feedback.
very nice! thanks for all the links. love it!
Just did this trail for the first time today, including the last section. Got scratches all over from the branches. Great video guide as always!
Great to hear!
@@TheOutsiderMTB Had to walk a few small sections of the pirate trail with my hardtail, I am a novice so that section was a bit too scary.
Great video! Went hiking there today and you provided EXACTLY the guidance I was hoping to find for MTB!!!
Glad the vid did you well!! 👊✔️
Well, nice to know there´s a Portuguese Bend Reserve in Southern CA, with all those trails! Many thanks and greetings from Portugal!
I'm Portuguese as well Fernando! You have some amazing trails and landscapes out there too!
Glad I found your channel. Enjoy your presentation. Live in HB and now I have some new trails to try.
That’s great! I’ll keep em’ comin’! ✔️
Rode parts of this loop today and the trails are overgrown with thistle and black mustard after the winter rains. Some washouts/gullys from all of the winter water, too.
Perfect for a gravel grind ride.
Awesome video and info bro great stuff , thank you !! 🤙🏽😎
No problem 👍
The Outsider MTB 🍻😎✌🏽
I love that you always attach the Strava route. Used already twice, in Joshua tree and Dunn. Going to do this route soon too!
🫡
I remember this one when you first did it. Was thinking long beach huh ? Who would've thought. 👍👍.You came a long way Sir.
Thank you! Cheers!
Loving the vids.
Met you up at skypark like 6 or 8 weeks ago. Keep em comin!
Hey Ryan - I remember! Was a fun day. We chatted a bit up top. Next time let's take a few runs and grab a beer. Thanks for watching bud - appreciate the feedback.
definitely, first rounds on me.
sweet trails.
Thanks for the routes, tips where to park, I like the videos, cheer up, friend.
Cheer up?
Great video ride. I rode it myself after watching your video, good times. I will be returning on the regular. BTW, I noticed that your reference to "Peppermill Trail" is actually Peppertree Trail.
Thanks for the info!
This is a cool place if I knew where I was going... we parked at the rattlesnake trail
.. got to the bottom then had an emergency had to run up hill .. darn ! Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching - hope it helps. ;)
Thank you.
what ? why i only discovery that you are half Portuguese in 2021?!?!?!? now i have even more respect for you !
Hahaha 😉
Thanks Man! PB is hard to beat when it comes to views. I rode there a couple of times back in December struggling a bit to find my way around, so I think your suggestions will help next time. Also, I really appreciate learning about all the other places in SoCal to ride, hope to run into you some day.
👊
Just rode there today for the first time. A lot of the single tracks had no bikes allowed signs . Ranger was patrolling on the fire roads too. The views are awesome though.
Thanks for the info
Thanks for the videos. We kept saying things like” Tony said to park here” or “Tony said to make a right here” “Tony did say there was a lot of climbing” 😂
Thanks bro
No problem!
I did the same thing and went the way you did on pirate trail. It is much better going the opposite direction, even if you have top hike the bike. Use to ride that area a lot when I lived in Redondo Beach.
Good to know Sean. Thanks!
You should check out the Pismo Preserve trail at Pismo Beach. They have the best views in CA I have seen so far. They are rarely open though, they are still working to complete the project.
Good to know - I'll look into that one. Thanks for the heads up and watching!
Thank you
😉✔️
Awesome, I fully endorse P/B Reserve, I ride it 1-2 times a week and love the work out.
Just be mindful of RATTLE SNAKES especially when the sun crests over the hill around
10-11 a.m. they like to stop and get sun across some of the trails, I've had a few encounters and one close call with a small baby when I stopped to eat a protein bar in some shade.
Good stuff Francois and thanks for the heads up.
I was here during the weekend & had to walk parts of snake trail as it was just super dry & looses & my front tires were not ready for it. I got to the hike a bike section & maybe it's my skill but one of the hike a bike section was too steep for me to ride(30t oval 11-42 back). I also went up a trail that was probably double black as it was pretty much just a sandy stair step going down. Forget the name of it. oof
Gotcha - yeah I bet it's so loose and sandy right now. It's been pretty dry lately. I bet the views were awesome though.
Thanks
No problem

Where was this 6 months ago? Ha! Just getting back into mtb and these are my home trails; this would have been awesome when I was trying to figure things out. Great vid. Bravo on making it back up Conquerer (I never can) and please tell me you made it up Flying Mane without having to hike-n-bike?
Hey Scott - Appreciate the feedback. I had to stop a couple times heading up Flying Mane. Was a hot one and that climb caught me off guard. Thanks for watching man! Let me know if you have any suggestions for riding locations you want to see.
The Outsider MTB I would love to see the Santa Monica mountains or the reserve down towards Laguna Beach. I hear both have great trail systems. Those are the next steps on my list at least and I’m not sure where to start. Keep up the great work bud 👍🏻
Good suggestions - I haven't been up to Santa Monica in a while, but Laguna is where I do most of my riding. Check out this Laguna trail guide from a few weeks back: czcams.com/video/vAXEFUxN2s8/video.html
I'll be doing some more from Laguna when the weather cools a bit, as well. Thanks!
Awesome. I'll take a look. Thanks
If I could make a suggestion, after Ishibashi head back up Burma Fire Road to Eagles Nest Trail for a bit more singletrack before hitting Toyon
✔️👊
your footage is smooth bro, is that a GoPro? solid!
Thanks - yup. 👍
I rode this before I saw your video..mistake...lol..that left trail head looks much easier..i started on the trailhead to the right..it was an absolute bear in the beginning..have to try your rotue enxt time.
Ha good stuff!
Nice trail, but a bit far for my ride/commute ratio distances, as I live in Oxnard. If you like great ocean views, I'd invite you to Pt. Mugu State Park, a couple dozen miles north/west of Palos Verdes; you can do longer rides also in PMSP Sycamore Canyon. I'd love to show you around there.
Thanks for the invite Dean. ✔️👊
Going to hit this one up tomorrow, and hopefully not get lost haha!
Have a blast!
@@TheOutsiderMTB Always man! When you say you recommend doing this one backwards, are you talking about the entire loop you did, or did you just mean for that last section?
@@jigworx6020 I suggested the entire loop - basically start on the trail I ended because it has more downhill that way. I didn't like finishing this way because the end felt more uphill than down. But when you get over to the other side follow my loop for sure the same way I did.
@@TheOutsiderMTB Finally hit this one up today!. Hike a biked up pirate trail (helluva warmup) but was so overgrown at the top that it was un-rideable so i turned back down and head to Exultant. Burma killed me on the way up I almost threw up when i took a break at the park lol. Freaking 85% humidity! Only 1 small rocky section on Rattlesnake where i had to walk it (noob), the rest was super fun. Ishibashi was pretty overgrown but was rideable. All in all it was dope but need to work on my endurance and maybe eat some carbs before next time. Going to do this one a few more times and i think i'll be ready for Santiago Oaks, then Laguna. Love your guides man keep it up!
@@jigworx6020 Awesome - hyped you're getting out there!
Nice job I use to bomb down the hill off Crenshaw blvd.
👍😉
You are so blessed. The PNW guarantees you dark mornings, dark afternoons, cold damp weather. If you want to wake up to miserable overcast dismal cold weather the PNW is your cup of sludge:(
Thanks! You have amazing trails though.😁
It’s amazing how you can ride rattlesnake trail that fast
Ha I have to go back here soon it's been too long.
It has been super hot these days
Hi guys, how long do you think this loop will take for an above average rider? Maybe 2hrs? Thx!
Exactly.✔️👍
That red/red jeffsy looks insane! How do you like it?
Loving it! Had to wait on a preorder for this colorway, but worth it. I'll be talking more about the bike in future vids and do a 6 month review when that time comes. Can't beat the components for the price on this thing . Thanks for sticking around KEZ.
I'm considering buying it since like two weeks or so, but it would be my first expensive bike so I guess it needs some time to make that decision. Found you via instagram trying to find real pictures of the red/red :D But now you got a sub more, very nice videos!
Awesome - appreciate that! It is a big decision, but for the components, like I said, it's tough to beat. The only issue is you don't get to try it beforehand because it's direct. I'm having a blast on mine though as you can see. ;)
Awesome do u recommend these trails for beginners?
Sure just take your time.
Pirates trail is the one that’ll get you...
Where exactly is the entrance to this trail? I cannot seem to find it.
Went there couple of weeks ago and ended up in rattle snake trail.
Check out the link below to MTB projects. Has all of the trials and parking as well. That’s what I use. Check the beginning of the video again where I enter too.
@@TheOutsiderMTB right on! Thanks!
Hope I find it this time around!
Revisiting this video because I’m planning to do this ride. No idea what happened but I accidentally clicked thumbs down when I first watched it. My bad! Fixed it to 👍
Haha thanks Srikanth!
Have u tried the crafton hills trail system?
Not yet - on my list!
The Outsider MTB looking forward for u to bomb those trails esp the zanja peak and regional park trail!
A LITTLE HILLISH!!
How long is the loop?
Little over an hour.
How long is this tide?
about an hour and a half. Info is below the video.
