The Galapagos Islands are a year-round destination, but our experts agree that the best time to visit the Galapagos Islands is during the shoulder seasons during the crossover between warm and cool seasons in May and November. The shifting currents mean changing food sources for animals which can result in interesting wildlife encounters. June marks the beginning of the cool season when the cool Humboldt and Peru currents from the south have overpowered the warm Panama current from the north. Temperatures are still warm, but not as hot and humid.

What to Expect in May/June in Galapagos:

• Average Outdoor Temperatures: 68-82 degrees
• Average water temperature: 74 degrees
• Average Rainfall: 0.6 inches
• North Seymour’s blue-footed boobies begin their courtship
• Sea turtles are still hatching on Gardner Bay and Punta Cormorant
• Most of marine iguanas’ eggs hatch from nests on Santa Cruz
• Palo Santo trees begin to shed their foliage
• Waved albatross on Espanola start laying their eggs
• Ban-rumped storm petrels begin their first nesting period
• Giant tortoises on Santa Cruz Island migrate from the highlands to the lowlands in search of suitable nesting places
• Beginning of the nesting season of giant tortoises
• The male magnificent frigatebirds on North Seymour start flaunting their red pouches
• Southern migrant birds have started their journey toward the north and Galapagos is a rest stop for such birds
• Some species of whales and dolphins also follow this pattern of migration
• Groups of humpback whales that migrate up to equatorial latitudes along the coast of Ecuador can reach the Galapagos

This is my favorite ride in the Santa Monica Mountains because it has everything - a good climb to start the ride, nice views, a huge oak tree to relax under and of course some singletrack to finish!

We will ride up Sullivan Fire Road to Dirt Mulholland (another fire road). Then continue on Mulholland to the Eagle Rocks and then descend on the Backbone Trail which has some great single track which dumps out at Will Rogers State Park. Then take Sunset Blvd. to our cars.

The ride takes about 4 hours and is more than 3,000 feet of climbing but that is broken up in a couple of different sections. Total Distance 25 miles. You need to be in decent shape to do this ride. That being said it's not a race so we will be taking breaks as needed.

No E-Bikes.

We will meet in a safe residential area. Parking is readily available and free.

What to bring: Bike, Helmet, ample Hydration, Energy bars, Toolkits, Spare Tubes, Pumps, sunscreen etc.

It is your responsibility to prepare yourself! Know your limitations and do not attempt what you are not comfortable with. "Hike-A-Bike" is no shame.

I am posting this on several groups so others may be attending.

Please RSVP by Friday June 10 so we can confirm who is going, know that you are prepared and coordinate how to meetup.

Rain the day or or day before will cancel.

Mountain biking is inherently dangerous. You can die, lose an arm or get paralyzed if you crash. I assume absolutely no responsibility for you or your equipment. I am not an expert nor a guide, I'm just some dude on meetup looking for riding buddies. If you choose to participate you assume all risk involved. Use sound judgment in both the planning and riding to minimize risk and ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.
