You push past the parked cars, boots crunching on sandy soil, and the pines of Chantry Flat close in like a cool hand. The guide fits your helmet and powers up a Specialized Kenevo; the bikes hum, eager. Gravel road unspools beneath wide tires, creek sounds rising ahead where seasonal cascades thread through Santa Anita Canyon — the water seems to dare you closer.
