| Ladera Dave Ladera Ranch | 07/30/10 10:28 AM | Let Share mountain bike club know, we are working next week end in Aliso Woods park, come out and support us, and give back to the trails we love and ride weekly. |
| c('.'c) Costa Mesa | 07/29/10 9:42 PM | I thought that trail off Ridge Park was called Deer Canyon. I could be wrong though.. It was roped off with yellow tape yesterday. :( |
| Holy Roller Costa Mesa | 07/29/10 9:41 PM | Anyone up for a trail maintenance day at the top of El Moro (Fenceline and Missing Link)??? Write me or call/text and we can set up a day. I did about two weeks of maintenance on those trails last year by myself and it kicked my butt! Thanks Holy Roller 714-504-5045 |
| Holy Roller Costa Mesa | 07/29/10 9:38 PM | Does anyone have a list of the names of the "un-named" single track trails at El Moro??? Like the one that is 300 feet off to the left past the stairs at Ridge Park. Or the one that goes parallel to the top of Bommer at Ridge Park and then connects to Fence Line??? I did go down Old Emerald Falls yesterday and found the name on a post at the bottom of the trail, but most other trails like "BVD" have been adopted from popular use??? Thanks |
| c('.'c) Costa Mesa | 07/29/10 9:31 PM | Yay!! Thanks Geo Staff programmer guy! ..and robbiesdad ..and everyone else for putting up with my whining. :) |
| Heathermarie9 Aliso Viejo | 07/29/10 11:54 AM | My Garmin has been found by a super nice guy named Paul. Thanks Paul! :-) |
| Staff | 07/29/10 10:06 AM | Yeah, it was the quotes in the name. Fixed. |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 07/29/10 6:28 AM | c('.'c): (Working links=standard URL's, broken=javascript) For a quick javascript status http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.aspx?bhcp=1 |
| Heathermarie9 Aliso Viejo | 07/28/10 9:58 PM | If anyone found a Garmin Forerunner 305(red and black)in the main parking lot of Aliso Wood Canyon let me know. I think mine fell out of it's cradle on my bike around 5:45-6ish tonight. Thank you! |
| c('.'c) Costa Mesa | 07/28/10 9:24 PM | I'm positive it's my account. Everything is fine when I log on with my friend's account. Maybe it's my stupid screen name messing with code or something. Ahh fuck it, I'm over it. |
| Staff | 07/28/10 7:51 PM | c('.'c): All I can think to say is try clearing your cache and make sure javascript is enabled. |
| c('.'c) Costa Mesa | 07/28/10 7:39 PM | Staff, thanks for checking it out. There's nothing special about my home network or anything. I'll log on to the site with a friend's account to see if the links work. Here are the links on the "Rides" page that are dead for me: Expand, Week, Month, Year, This Week, Age, Comments Tab, Comments on posts, My List and Next 25. Everything else works. |
| Staff | 07/28/10 4:32 PM | surferguy24th: if you go to http://developer.garmin.com/web/communicator-api/apidemo/garminDeviceControlDemo.html and click find devices, does it see the device on your machine? |
| Staff | 07/28/10 4:25 PM | c('.'c): I can't reproduce the problem... login as you and everything works fine. If you had javascript or htmlhttprequest disabled, I could see how that could happen, but not across browsers and not only when you are logged in. Are you running through a proxy server? |
| c('.'c) Costa Mesa | 07/27/10 9:52 PM | Mr. bikesurfski-san, my issue isn't related to server traffic. When I log out I can clicky clicky all over the place. After I log in I clicky clicky, but nothing happens. Same issue with Firefox, IE, & Chrome and on any machine I log on with. Staff Dude, thanks, but it's still broken. Feel free to log in to my account and check it out. Not trying to be a P.I.T.A., I love this site. Thanks - Jake |
| surferguy24th East Highland | 07/27/10 9:39 PM | I have not been able to upload routes though my Mac for months. I tried to do the update again and after downloading it did a test page and said I am updated with the latest version and I am connected. I go to upload a route and it still says the Garmin is undetectable and to download the communicator. I do all the steps over again and still no success. Is anyone else having this problem? I have to use the PC to upload my routes. What's the deal. |
| Staff | 07/27/10 9:17 PM | Should be fixed. |
| bikesurfski Irvine | 07/27/10 8:27 PM | Similar probs as c('.'c)--server is overloaded right now. |
| c('.'c) Costa Mesa | 07/27/10 5:49 PM | Are any of you having trouble with links on the site? Nothing happens when I click comment, Next 25, or a few other links. If I log out, everything starts working.. |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 07/27/10 9:09 AM | angry..squirrel, Hopey's good for steep climbs, cuts wheel wandering. For HAB lock it and push the bike with one hand. :-) |
| Hippydude san clemente | 07/26/10 4:55 PM | You are very strange, Big T...erd |
| BigT Laguna Niguel | 07/26/10 9:02 AM | There are pointed weiners on this site? Who? No! |
| Hippydude san clemente | 07/26/10 8:43 AM | Zulu, we call them point weineee,s |
| ZULU Portola Hills | 07/26/10 8:32 AM | Thanks for enlighting me. I was wondering how that was done. Not an angry post just asking how. Thanks. |
| angry red squirrel newport beach | 07/25/10 6:48 PM | tried a hopey steering damper my dh/am bike-worked well,co at hopey.org they run 200-250 |
| angry red squirrel newport beach | 07/24/10 7:09 PM | yeehaw-and damn proud of it-now im gonna watch sum monsta truks |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 07/24/10 5:51 PM | My daughter did. Anyway here's what is supposed to be the course. http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=38177 |
| Cori Orange | 07/24/10 5:24 PM | Did anyone, by chance, do the Ironman Vineman 70.3 in Guerneville, Ca in Sonoma County on 7/18? I'd really like to post my ride but don't know how. |
| Lonnie Mission Viejo | 07/24/10 4:35 PM | If anyone finds Ben Boronow's wallet on Arroyo Trabuco please contact Ben Boronow or myself. We think he lost it on the dirt road at the bottom of Water Works. We stopped there in the shade this morning to sip water and eat a snack and believe this may be where it fell out of his Camelback. We rode back to look for it but it was not there. |
| Keith B Rancho Santa Margarita | 07/24/10 3:14 PM | You dont want to watch some red necks crash down a hillside with hardly a pedal stroke do you? Get some Tour de France on! |
| angry red squirrel newport beach | 07/24/10 4:17 AM | dh world cup from champey live-right now this minute on pinkbike.com |
| HTML Pro Irvine | 07/23/10 1:16 PM | ZULU: Dont POST angry! Dont POST Angry! |
| Aus Rotten Paramount | 07/23/10 10:58 AM | Oh ZULU.....you are going to open a can of worms with the "multi-posters". They get more points by Multi-posting, instead of turning the garmin on when they start the ride and then turn it off when done, they tie multiple rides together. It should be no more than 2 posts and the ride time (actual time of day and date) of the ride should be shown. |
| ZULU Portola Hills | 07/23/10 8:50 AM | How are riders able to post three, four or five rides in one day? Day after day? Just a question, also isnt two or three trails ridden at the same time considered to be one ride? |
| goldrunner Wildomar | 07/21/10 11:08 AM | pdmoore: you get scheduled ride points too! Maybe that just applies to rides in Africa? |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 07/19/10 4:39 PM | pdmoore: After sunset the lions are hunting. |
| pdmoore fullerton | 07/19/10 1:13 PM | A friend was running Kenter fireroad Sunday 7/18 between 7:30-9:00 PM and says she saw a mountain lion on the road - are they common on that trail? |
| Phishin Paul Rancho Santa Margarita | 07/19/10 8:11 AM | I found a Cateye Strada Wireless computer on the San Juan trail yesterday. Let me know if you are missing one. |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 07/19/10 6:27 AM | For Africa rides, double points for a night ride. :-) |
| Erik MM Oceanside | 07/18/10 10:30 PM | 2 bonus points for each lion and wildebeest that shows up |
| goldrunner Wildomar | 07/18/10 8:20 PM | Hey Geo-Cops, do the scheduled ride rules still apply in Africa? |
| Unshaven Legs_18 Aliso Viejo | 07/18/10 12:05 PM | XCRIDER: You are correct, there are ways around it. Several people have given me some insight into this issue. You are also correct that it is harder than it should be. I am contacting Garmin to see what they are doing about it. |
| XCRider Villa Park | 07/18/10 11:17 AM | Unshaven: I've been looking to buy the 500. Doesn't Garmen's software let you get a gpx file for your track from that unit? If so, GL has nice facilities to move gpx files in and out, which means you should be able to preserve all the climb and timing data. No question, it's probably harder than it should be, but I'd guess you can make it work without too much trouble. |
| waltgon san pedro | 07/17/10 7:30 PM | surfer guy: i just bought a garmin edge 705 from ebay for 330 with warranty. its refurbished but it comes with everything, cadence, heartrate monitor and all works well. I went to the garmin website and just downloaded the latest firmware and my garmin works great. it is compatible with gl and its awesome on the rides. hope that helps |
| Unshaven Legs_18 Aliso Viejo | 07/17/10 5:17 PM | I wish I had read some of these post before I left for a 110 mile ride in the heat this morning with my new Garmin 500 on a route I have never done!!!!! All I can say is, DAMN IT! Lost climbing points. Staff, any new word on the problem? |
| Unshaven Legs_18 Aliso Viejo | 07/17/10 4:38 PM | I wish I had read some of these post before I left for a 110 mile ride in the heat this morning with my new Garmin 500 on a route I have never done!!!!! All I can say is, DAMN IT! Lost climbing points. Staff, any new word on the problem? |
| ChrisTA lake forest | 07/14/10 10:26 AM | The EDGE705 is also compatible with GL. |
| surferguy24th East Highland | 07/14/10 8:14 AM | So from the information below should I conclude that we can not use a Garmin 500 on GL? My buddy just bought a new one and he has not opened it yet. He wants to make sure he can upload routes on this website. If he can not upload to GL yet which Garmin should he buy other than the 305? |
| Hippydude san clemente | 07/13/10 4:48 PM | Read somewhere that they are doing controlled burns.. |
| bikesurfski Irvine | 07/13/10 4:40 PM | Fire at Camp Pendelton: http://www.ocregister.com/news/fire-257536-training-base.html. Guess we better ride the trails while we still have them. |
| BigT Laguna Niguel | 07/12/10 4:48 PM | Congrats Treckstorm! I will be doing my first sprint Triathlon in October! Mission Bay Triathlon! The Original! Maybe I can contact you for some pointers! :) |
| agitate1890 canyon lake | 07/12/10 4:34 PM | nice trekstorm.evilbawb is doing a sprint tri august 7th at camp pendleton..www.CampPendletonRaces.com.. |
| Red Ryder Garden Grove | 07/12/10 1:37 PM | Congrats trekstorm! |
| trekstorm Irvine | 07/11/10 4:33 PM | Hey Gang: Well I finished my first triathlon in Carlsbad today. Swim was an issue and I realize I need alot of work but I made it. Now I need to put my head inside and do proper training as I look for my next tri!! |
| Keith B Rancho Santa Margarita | 07/10/10 4:20 PM | Blackstar Warning: There was a really strange acting guy up there on a white DR 200 moto. He followed us around and approached us in a threatening manner. so be aware if you're heading up there. |
| bikesurfski Irvine | 07/10/10 3:22 PM | Props to you Steve/Slopush. Something about photographer/mountain bikers like you and Eric Foltz that is inspiring. Just watched Sam Hill Trail video at http://www.pinkbike.com/video/52920/ If you go up the Ortega Highway about 2-3 miles before you reach the lookout there is Sam Hill trail dropping off into Lake Elsinore. Trobe1 & Hippydude give us a report :) |
| slopush Orange | 07/10/10 2:21 PM | Greetings Mt. Bikers! In three weeks I'll be riding through the bush in Africa, helping to raise awareness for a non-profit group called Children in the Wilderness. I've just got my pledge page up and running and invite you to go to the link to read about the adventure that awaits and to make a donation if you feel so inclined. Thanks! Slopush/Steve http://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/lopushinsky |
| mtnbikej Orange | 07/10/10 10:44 AM | ARS: Seems as though most DH trails.....especially shuttle rides don't get Geo listings because they are worthless for points...considering you only really get points for climbing....not for DH or difficulty of DH. Tunnel Trail in SB is a good example....only worth 11 points. |
| RYAN FOREST foothill ranch | 07/10/10 10:33 AM | JUST FOUND FRONT WHEEL IN OLD NAVY PARKING LOT... FOOTHILL RANCH... 949 351 3693 |
| angry red squirrel newport beach | 07/09/10 8:47 PM | for all you dh adrenaline junkies try the sam hill trail in the i.e by elsinore-surprised not on geo yet? |
| Spartacus Rancho Santa Margarita | 07/09/10 4:28 PM | Anybody know of a group ride (Road Ride) for intermediate riders in the Irvine, Mission Viejo, RSM area Sat. Sundays weekdays.Where and when they meet? |
| sbrown Yorba Linda | 07/07/10 2:17 PM | FOUND--multi tool on Chino Hills Lower Aliso today. PM me with description and we can figure out how to get it back to you |
| Staff | 07/06/10 10:08 PM | jennksnowy: the lack of games was a bug introduced as we were working on other code. |
| TBlazen Trabuco | 07/06/10 2:46 AM | Yep. Thanks staff and Fiend. I was on that team too... |
| MTB Fiend Trabuco Canyon | 07/05/10 10:06 PM | Staff - Cool! Thanks. Sorry to be a bother. |
| DIRTULS Costa Mesa | 07/05/10 9:48 PM | Staff- I am curious as to why there were no games the week of June 20th. Thanks. |
| Staff | 07/05/10 4:52 PM | MTB Fiend: Fixed bonuses for game 3 last week. We will be shaking up the teams again, but not today. |
| MTB Fiend Trabuco Canyon | 07/05/10 12:42 PM | Staff - I am guessing last weeks games did not compute correctly. In Game 3, the Blue Team whipped the Green Team by more than 400 points, but the Green Team shows as the winner - and each member got the 25 points. Also, any plans to shake up the Teams ever again? Sure sucks not to be on one of the dominant teams when looking at the overall team statistics. Thanks for all your efforts and the great site! |
| agitate1890 canyon lake | 07/02/10 12:43 PM | thanks o f otb,i've had 2 stolen before,something was better than nothing. |
| bikejunky yorba linda | 07/02/10 10:30 AM | Gary Fisher Paragon 29er frame for sale. comes with cane creek headset, seatpost clamp and an XTR front der. in great condition. am local in rancho santa margarita asking 350.00 |
| One Flew OTB Trabuco Canyon | 07/01/10 6:48 PM | waltgon & agitate1890 - Homeowners insurance will pay for a stolen bike (after your deductible), but most likely won't cover damage or "lost" bikes and parts. |
| Staff | 07/01/10 2:48 PM | Ladera Mike: It is sort of what we need; the problem is that they won't even describe the binary file format unless you agree to an NDA that includes restrictions that would make our interface non-functional. We'll look at what it would take to reverse engineer their format without signing the NDA. |
| Ladera Mike Ladera Ranch | 07/01/10 1:29 PM | Staff, version 2.9.2 of Communicator was released April 6th. One of the features listed is: Made GetBinaryFile function available to non-Garmin websites. Isn't that what the issue is? I have been able to upload to my Edge 500 all along, but GL could never grab my rides off of it. |
| Tumbleweed rancho santa margarita | 07/01/10 10:35 AM | Anyone want to buy a two bike bike-rack that mounts onto a spare tire? PM me asking $90.... It's a Yakima- mounts to the lugs of the spare tire on to the tire... |
| Staff | 07/01/10 8:19 AM | The edge 500 is not yet supported by the Garmin Web Communicator software; they say it will be on their next release, but we don't know when that will be. |
| TrailMonkey | 07/01/10 8:09 AM | Is anyone posting with the 500 |
| agitate1890 canyon lake | 06/30/10 4:33 PM | home owners ins. |
| Fast Turtle Irvine | 06/29/10 10:22 PM | On the 705 I have to open geo ladders then start my 705 and then plug it in to have geo find the garmin. |
| waltgon san pedro | 06/29/10 8:41 PM | does anyone know any info on mountain bike insurance if the bike is damaged lost or stolen? |
| Staff | 06/29/10 8:26 PM | uphillrider55: Are you using the most recent version of the garmin web communicator plugin? We have a large number of people using the 705. |
| Fast Turtle Irvine | 06/29/10 8:13 PM | I have no problems uploading to Geo with the Edge 705. See my last ride I used the 705 to upload. |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 06/29/10 7:19 PM | The 705 is worth it for roadies if (1) You have an ANT power meter and (2) Need street maps. Topographic maps belong on a PC where you can create a route for the 305. |
| UphillRider55 San Juan Capistrano | 06/29/10 5:50 PM | I like my 705, but have never been able to upload to Geoladders. Have tried both EI and Firefox. |
| waltgon san pedro | 06/29/10 5:37 PM | thanks turtle |
| Fast Turtle Irvine | 06/29/10 3:30 PM | I upgraded to the Edge 705 a month ago. I couldn't read the 305 but can read the 705 (larger and in color). Buy on ebay for around 350 with the combo package. Sell the cadence senor for 35 bucks to a roadie and your net cost will be ~320. The unit will be reconditioned but will come with a 1 year warranty from Garmin. No problems with the unit. |
| waltgon san pedro | 06/29/10 2:59 PM | anyone have any reviews on the garmin edge 705 and if it is worth paying for? getting mixed good and bad reviews on google but wanted to know from mtn bikers. thanks |
| surferguy24th East Highland | 06/27/10 5:04 PM | Did you find yourself picking ticks off of you while riding SART? That is what happened on my last ride a year ago. Also thanks for the road bike advice. I think I will keep the fuzz on my legs right now Sjon. I have not worked to that level yet. I still don't even like shaving my face everyday. |
| ChrisB Moreno Valley | 06/26/10 2:37 PM | SART is in very good condition right now. Very, very fun! I would suggest all who know the trail to go ride it while its good. |
| DONALD JACKSON M.V. | 06/25/10 3:01 PM | Be careful not to get the battery wet, Even a little moisture makes it corrode, It is a great light. |
| XCRider Villa Park | 06/25/10 1:50 PM | +1 on Magicshine. O-ring works good except be careful not to use the silly little pulltab they molded into it. Ripped mine first time I tried to put it on the bike. They sent a free replacement and it's worked good for the few rides I've actually used it (don't ride a lot at night). |
| Hannibal Rancho Santa Margarita | 06/25/10 11:11 AM | I have the single light Magicshine. So far it has been surprisingly good. Very bright and lasts a long time. The light attaches with just a thick O ring, but it has worked well for me. Does not come loose coming down Chutes or The Luge. Might be an issue if the weather is wet and the handle bar gets slick. There is now an even brighter light that uses three combined lights. Definitely worth the money IMO. |
| Spartacus Rancho Santa Margarita | 06/24/10 8:16 PM | |
| Spartacus Rancho Santa Margarita | 06/24/10 7:45 PM | Anybody out there try the Magicshine Light? Sounds like a good light for the price. |
| MTB Fiend Trabuco Canyon | 06/23/10 11:36 PM | surferguy24th - fit is very important with road bikes. It's got to feel right from the start. Sent you a PM - 98 LiteSpeed Catalyst/Ultegra Triple/Mavic Ksyrium Elite - 57mm. Fast and titanium, great condition. |
| Sjon Riverside | 06/23/10 11:01 PM | Jeremy-search used, you'll get a much better bike this way. Remember componets don't get destroyed on a road bike like a mtn bike. I've had mine for 1 year now and never replaced anything except lots of tires, never even been tuned. Also loose the leg fuzz, you'll understand why after you do it, and besides, it makes you faster?? :) |
| surferguy24th East Highland | 06/23/10 6:13 PM | |
| surferguy24th East Highland | 06/23/10 5:44 PM | I am in the market for a road bike. I am looking to spend $1,000 dollars or less. I am mainly a mountain biker so I am not sure what type of bike to get. Can I get some advice from the roadies out there on what bike to get? |
| SpinGame Anaheim Hills | 06/21/10 6:21 PM | Nice production rd, I like it. Mine was shot from a cell phone, lol. |
| robbiesdad Westlake | 06/21/10 5:47 AM | SpinGame - When I made this video I was trying for smoothness. Oddly enough my light XC bike is the fastest (on video). Who needs FR? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raNdaUvUNqc |
| ChrisTA lake forest | 06/19/10 9:59 PM | Happy Father's day to all the Geo Dads:) |
