Why do we have the most amazing beef jerky at the Outpost you ask? Around 4 years ago @jay.barre went through Bishop, CA and stopped at @mahoganysmokedmeats - Since that visit they have packaged smoked meats for us. We bring it up because @onion.sauce was traveling through Bishop and stopped by the motherland of beef jerky for a visit today. #smokedmeats #beefjerky #mahoganysmokedmeats #bishopca #themotherland (at Mahogany Smoked Meats) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSszflBQWH/?igshid=8zllg6mc2xhr

We have been part bike shop, part Rogue Journeymen and part documentary film production operation lately. @theweirdroad has been directing and working tirelessly on a short TCO / @roguejourneymen film for our marketing use. We saw some outtakes and it’s already incredible. A few couple more days of filming and it will head to the editor. Today was a sound day with the sound dude. So much work involved and we appreciate it so much and are looking forward to the final production later in the summer. #filmmaking #filmmaker (at Topanga Creek Outpost) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQuMsvFQ22/?igshid=1bdby6370l0f

Here are some extraordinarily random photos from @onion.sauce trip to Monterey and @seaotterclassic - @surlybikes sign, the good people of @spurcycle helped Chris with his Spur Bell from a bike crush calamity, @conti_mtb booth, @eskercycles and @cyclesdevinci bike stuff plus a photo from the @montereybayaquarium and @dean_titanium - Chris just snapped some random photos so if photo journalism is your thing, this is potentially an example of a work in progress. #unpredictyourjourney #bikesarefun (at Monterey, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwP3O1zlkFl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cw97rqdxb85m

The Carrizo Plain National Monument is miles of upon miles of exploring floral this moment. After camping in the Los Padres National Forest we headed to the Carrizo Plain to ride bikes around and stop to smell the flowers for #unpredictyourwednesday If you can skip work immediately and go there is the most spectacular super bloom you may ever experience. There are thousands and thousands of acres and we saw just a few dozens others gawking at the scenic wonder. #superbloom #superbloom2019 #stoptosmelltheflowers #carrizoplain #carrizoplainnationalmonument (at Carrizo Plain National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvidBB8lPVf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=933u0ynqphxl

Here are the portrait photographs of the paper boat racers. If you missed it, hopefully we have some rain next year and repeat such a fun post Saturday ride event. Too much fun down at our creek.

PAPER BOAT RACES!!!! Right after the ride tomorrow about 11 AM we are having our first ever and hope to be annual paper boat race down at the creek. It rarely flows so virtually the entire paper boat season is tomorrow. #paperboats (at Topanga, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvVhkPMF-5x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1784sx7mwtb2r

TBT. We took a trip to Arizona last New Years Eve with the @bluedogbicycles crowd and it was off the graph fun. They are headed out here so be around for more good times. #bluedogbicycles (at Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuK_m08ARU4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xvuu1ufo6048

@bromungandr has been on his game building wheels lately with @philwoodandco spikes and SON dynamo hubs as his specialty. Stop up to the shop on Fridays or Saturdays within the next 6 weeks if you want him to build you up a set. His next life big adventure starts in April and this is your last chance to have him build your wheel set. #bro #dude #customwheelset #philwood #handlaced #jeovany #wheelset #handmade (at Topanga Creek Outpost) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9wg_rgE5R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vbri3srxy3cb

Our favorite dude @whytry and his wild band of warriors from @bluedogbicycles in Arizona are headed our way in a week for a little adventure including the Topanga shop ride. Set it in stone on your calendar to join in. These guys are pure fun and we want to show them an extraordinary good time in Topanga. #topangalife #bluedogbicycles #whytry #bluedog (at Blue Dog Bicycles) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6kqCzgu2w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=33nfgzm6j6nd

Our day up here including a new rider to Topanga, a new motorcycle and lots of bike being serviced by @dave_conk a prototype @roguejourneymen cooler cover and @rover_shopdog sitting by the wood stove. #topangalife (at Topanga Creek Outpost) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btzax7Sg83l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ei189kb9cqgy

We had a request for an ice chest cover so we spent little time mocking one up with our Igloo cooler. We used @pendletonwm for accents and wonder if leather would be better fir the final result. Kinda a nice upgrade to a ice chest. #cooler #icechest #beerchest #igloo #yeticoolers #yeti #yeticooler #handmade #madeintopanga #madeinusa #canvasbag #beer #rootbeer #grizzlybearhaute (at Topanga Creek Outpost) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzZ7vil4Jh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1okvr3b0sh3s4

We operate inside @topangacreek along Topanga Creek. It’s a great time of year to visit while the creek is running strong. Adirondack chairs sit outside while a couple comfy rocking chairs sit near our wood stove. There is always coffee brewing.

Topanga Canyon is closed once again from “downtown” Topanga to the PCH due to mudslides so please plan to visit us via the 101 from Woodland Hills. We really try to keep it in perspective. Having a little cabin surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains in the heart of the @santamonicamountainsnps recreation area has all the upswings we could want We have amazing trails out our door, beauty in every direction and the joys of nature every day. But all of this is balanced with mudslides, fire evacuations and the occasional mountain lion stalking us on a Saturday ride. If you want “visit” without visiting, go to our website and see the @roguejourneymen gear online. Feel free to email us with special requests. We have worked hard to have additional income sources at times like this. #rockslides #boulders #topanga #topnagacanyon #topangalife #mudslides (at Topanga, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd_ir1lEVI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=75urq6pjwz5j
