Let me just say it: Los Angeles might be the best motorcycle city in America. Where else do you get the ocean, real canyon roads, and a 7,900-foot mountain pass all within an hour of where you keep your bike? If you’re hunting for motorcycle rides in Los Angeles — a scenic Sunday cruise, some canyon carving, or just somewhere good to open it up — you are spoiled. PCH along the water. Mulholland and the canyons off it. Angeles Crest climbing up out of the basin. It’s all right here.
I’ll be honest with you. I started riding at 50, right here in LA, and I was one of the lucky ones — I had a crew almost from day one. My buddy Leo and the guys I roll with on the weekends, I found them early through family, and it changed everything. Riding is ten times better with people who’ve got your back.
But most riders aren’t that lucky. They’ve got the bike, the itch, and all these incredible roads right out the door — and nobody to ride them with. They’re circling the Rock Store on a Sunday hoping to bump into the right people. That’s a weirdly lonely thing, and nobody really talks about it. RideWolf is me trying to hand everybody the thing I was lucky enough to stumble into — without the club, the cold calls, or the luck.
Here’s where LA riders go. This isn’t a tourist list — these are the roads we run, and the best places to ride a motorcycle near you mostly come down to which side of the basin you’re on.
The coast. Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu is the one everybody starts with — gentle curves, ocean on your right, and a relaxed pace where you can actually breathe. Roll up to Neptune’s Net at the county line and you’ll find a hundred bikes on a Saturday.
The canyons. This is the good stuff. Mulholland Highway — the stretch riders call “The Snake” — is a tree-tunnel of S-curves and the classic LA Sunday run. Topanga is the closest real canyon to the city. And if you’ve got the chops, Latigo packs something like 160 turns into ten miles off PCH.
The mountains. Angeles Crest Highway (CA-2) climbs out of La Cañada into the San Gabriels — switchbacks and sweepers up to almost 7,900 feet, and it starts barely 30 minutes from downtown. Fuel up before you go up; there’s not much once you’re on it.
| The ride | What it is | ~Length | Skill | Where to meet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCH (Malibu) | Easy ocean cruising — the best starter ride | ~30 mi | Beginner | Neptune’s Net |
| Mulholland “The Snake” | Tight tree-tunnel S-curves, the classic Sunday run | ~3 mi | Advanced | The Rock Store |
| Topanga Canyon (CA-27) | Curvy and scenic, closest canyon to the city | ~18 mi | Intermediate | Off PCH / the Valley |
| Angeles Crest (CA-2) | Switchbacks to ~7,900 ft, 30 min from downtown | ~66 mi | Intermediate+ | Fuel up in La Cañada |
| Latigo Canyon | ~160 turns in ten miles — for experienced riders | ~10 mi | Advanced | Off PCH, Malibu |
One LA thing to know: our roads close. Fire, rain, and rockslides shut canyons down without much warning, so check LA County road closures before you commit to a route up the mountain.
If you want to find the crews, go where they already gather. The Rock Store on Mulholland is the spot — Sunday mornings it’s packed, and you’ll see everything from vintage iron to superbikes (Jay Leno’s been known to roll through). Neptune’s Net out on PCH is the coastal version. Show up, grab a coffee, talk to people. That’s how it’s always worked — RideWolf just makes it happen without you having to get lucky.
It’s dead simple, and it’s built to fix the exact problem I had.

I’m not a pro racer or some 30-year veteran. I’m a guy who wanted to ride his whole life and finally did it at 50. I got lucky — I had a crew early. RideWolf is me making sure the next rider doesn’t have to leave that part to luck. If you’re in LA and you’ve got a bike (or you’re about to), come ride with us.

The big three are the coast, the canyons, and the mountains: Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu, the Mulholland canyons and Topanga, and Angeles Crest Highway up into the San Gabriels. Most are within 30–60 minutes of central LA, so where you ride mostly depends on which side of the basin you live on.
Yes — LA has a huge riding scene. Riders gather at spots like The Rock Store on Mulholland and Neptune’s Net on PCH, especially on weekend mornings. RideWolf is built to connect you with group rides near you in LA without having to join a club or know someone first.
For scenery it’s hard to beat PCH along the Malibu coast for an easy cruise, Mulholland Highway for canyon carving, and Angeles Crest for high-mountain switchbacks. Topanga Canyon is the most scenic ride closest to the city itself.
The Rock Store on Mulholland Highway is the classic meet-up, busiest on Sunday mornings. Neptune’s Net on PCH near the county line is the coastal gathering spot. Both are easygoing places to show up solo and meet other riders.
No. Clubs are great for some riders, but you don’t need one to find people to ride with. That’s exactly the gap RideWolf fills — it connects everyday riders in Los Angeles into group rides, no membership or commitment required.
