Moving to LA. What do I need to know?

[wyatt_]

Moving to Los Angeles from the Midwest in a couple of months. Currently, most of my miles are long, rolling gravel rides and a weekly spin on mellow single track trails.

Moving near the Hollywood Reservoir. I'm expecting a lot more paved rides and steep climbs. What else should I know? I can keep up in a low stakes paceline when I'm in my best shape, but I'm never going to be a watt-measuring roadie or have much interest in racing.

Any routes, club rides, weekend bikepacking trips, chill shops, tire choices, or other stuff I should know about?

Would love to find a way to keep riding on dirt as part of my regular routine.
