bike trails in OC or nearby

[Kejtar]

We were thinking about stopping in Mesquite Saturday night because the rooms used to be like $29. Just checked...gone up to $70. So we may end up staying in St. George. Then on to Moab on Sunday.

Would love to ride Goose or Little Creek, but we probably wouldn't get there until the evening. Maybe on the way back...

Grant, that mystic place looks kinda cool. Any idea what kind of riding there is?

wuuuuuuuuuuuuus, it's a one day ride from OC to Moab.

Well, Curt has a work-related exam that Saturday morning. So we wouldn't get started until maybe 1 pm or so.

And we'll see who the wuuuuus is when we go biking next Saturday.

I know you're taking a lot of crap today but what 'free ride' bike weighs 28?

Well probibly before your time, but its a prehistoric Mountain Cycle San Andreas, with a few titanium parts, hydro discs-the Pro stop version, and zocchi dirt jumper... I havent weighed it in a couple of years but close to the 28 mark maybe 30 with the seat bag... besides uphills are for the 4-stroke, just a blip of the throttle and its all good...unless your behind it....

There is a nice little campground just about to the top of the canyon on the 15 before St. George. I have stayed there before nice and warm, few Rattlers, coyotes, ect.... Or there is always Zion, or Brice..... couple of good spots to stop for the night....

Oh yeah. I've been in the industry for eleven years. I know the San Andreas. It was around long before the 'freeride' term existed.

1. THE "LOST BOYS" SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE SANTA ANA'S

As some of you may know, two of our club members and a couple of their
friends ending up spending the night in the Santa Ana's because they did not
allow enough time to complete an evening ride down an unfamiliar route.

Here's a little background on the "trail" they took:

http://www.warriorssociety.org/News/LostBoys.html

Do not, I repeat do not even think about trying to find this trail and ride
it. It is an extremely technical trail that has not been maintained since
Edison first cut it and the bottom is loaded with poison oak.


2. MONIQUE'S 2ND NORBA NATIONAL MARATHONS SERIES TITLE

For the second year in a row Monique is the female NORBA National Marathon
Series Champion. In next week's news we'll have coverage of her fundraiser
to send her to the World Championships in B.C.

Much labor went into the project which was completed on two consecutive

[olympic4x4tech]

i might be intrested in some trails almost got my full suspension mutt bike finished, but a little on the heavy side but who cares when the front end has 10" of travel. I sometimes go to fairview park then have some short trails or to sheep hills where i used to dirt jump.

Your speedo must be way off cause I was doing only 70, and when I slowed down to 65, you still couldn't catchup!

 

[olympic4x4tech]

what speedo? if i had oen id be able to tell how fast i was going besides i was running at 2900 rpm.

Well, it's been an interesting morning: I went on a bike hike/ride. Grant showed me a part of OC I didn't know existed (full of bushes ) and even though he took it real easy on me, I realized how badly I"m out of shape. Oh well, at least I can still walk (albeit a bit funny)

Remi and Cal both did well. We didn't take them on much of a ride, but more of a primer of bikes in dirt. On top of that, we scouted an old trail that was flooded out in the rains of this year. It was a bushwack and a beautiful day for a hike, while pushing your bike through a few miles of sand and brush.

Next ride we can get in more miles, more climbs and get the fitness thing going. We barely scratched the surface today.

I'm leaving the "walking funny" to someone else. I was leading the group, I don't know what happened in the "rear" of the pack.

Hey Avery, PM me. Some buds and I have a spare ticket to Stone's tasting next Saturday and plan on doing Noble (the lazy way) in the morning due to time restrictions.

I thought that you're leaving that one for some other time

 

[gcurtis]

I was, but you are faster than me so I thought I could let it ride.
