| Waldo | 07/10/10 | Planned to do the Lollipop Loop too, but the heat & humidity got the better of us. Decided to save some energy to make the descent more enjoyable - glad we did! | |
| cleanbeater | 07/10/10 | Early morning ride with Slow Ride. Lots of traffic up and down. | |
| TrailKing | 07/10/10 | Took the heavy bike out today. Crashed hard just below Cocktail. This trail seriously needs some bushwacking. Clipped a rock while ducking a branch. | |
| Silverback | 07/10/10 | Great ride, but getting hot in the afternoon again. | |

| Gerry Lattimer | 04/28/10 | Solo ride up to Cocktail Rock in the dark. 1:11 to the turnaround. | |
| Greo10 | 04/26/10 | 11am start just started to get warm but not bad, in a lot of places trail is sandy over hard pack with many places to slid out. Speed control is key with lots of people up and down all afternoon. Had to ride the old bike bad bearing - still fun and rides great | |
| Phishin Paul | 04/26/10 | I got in a solo morning ride today. The only others on the trail were 2 hikers and 2 riders at the end which appeared to be a bail out on the climb. It got warm real fast. I am not liking the Nevegal for rear on SS but it was free. | |
| Silverback | 04/25/10 | Great ride. Should have left earlier lots of traffic | |

| trobe1 | 04/15/10 | Good mellow ride with the Hipster today. Saw a group of 4 riders heading down as we were climbing and that was it. Real nice day out there on San Juan. | |
| Hippydude | 04/15/10 | Fun short one with T- Robe1 Kenobe son...Man, not riding for 6 days takes a toll on ya physically, kinda painful today. Got to knock that work thing off, gets in the way of the important stuff... | |

| KDawg | 04/08/10 | Spring break mid week ride with Rick - beautiful day! | |
| devodoc | 04/07/10 | Nice mid-week ride w/KDawg. Plan was to go further but ran out of time and energy. I guess that's what happens when you're a bit sick. I think I left more skin on this one ride than I have in all my rides combined. Fun times, and great weather. | |
| flyingbrian | 04/03/10 | awesome weather and the trail is in great shape today. broke a shifter cable, so my time up and back was off a little ! | |
| BoneBag | 03/30/10 | Tuesday coworker ride. | |
| Ladera Mike | 03/28/10 | Mid morning ride yesterday. Parking lot was full and lots of riders out. Talked with a couple cool groups up at Cocktail Rock. One OTB on a rut mid way down and then a low speed crash on one of the lower switchbacks; had a blast. | |
| Boerseun | 03/22/10 | Fun ride with Burgemeester...his back is not in good shape and he left some DNA on the side of the mountain...ouch! | |
| Flip | 03/14/10 | Tubeless issues required a urn around at this point. Fine morning for a ride. added a run up pinos to crosses to make me feel better about cutting my ride short. | |
| jb_29er | 03/14/10 | Gotta love the San Juan Trail! | |
| Burgemeester | 03/14/10 | This turned out to be a tough ride - back is in bad shape and managed to give Boerseun some first class entertainment with a fall down one of the steeper edges of the mountain! Don't know how I managed to walk out there in tact?! And I FINALLY had to replace my derailleur hanger on the trail! Thanks for the ride - sorry for all the wining at the back there! | |
| Ladera Mike | 03/05/10 | Fisrt time here. Trails like this are why I love mounatin biking. Great day, only saw about 5 other riders, all coming down on my way up. Edge 500 finally working properly after new firmware. Burnt 1150 cal going up and only 200 going down. Can't wait to get back out there. | |
| gmann | 03/05/10 | Late afternoon start at 3:15. did not see another person the whole ride. It was absolutely perfect today. | |
| TreeTopMike | 03/03/10 | My first time. An awesome day riding w/ the Geez, thanks man! | |
| UphillRider55 | 03/02/10 | Great late afternoon ride again on the SJT. Two large groups out riding today, but I didn't get runover. New Deraileur working well but I am having trouble adjusting to the reverse shifting. | |
| RoughRiderR | 03/01/10 | Road with BK and Ibot. Tired today, dont know why. I didnt ride fri or sat. Weird ride...i saw some guy in the buff on the way up! we had plans to ride past cocktail but luckly we decided to head back down. Lots of people on the way down, hikers, bikers, dogs...still not enough mountain biking ladies though. | |
| IceCreamAndCake | 03/01/10 | Beautiful day. Only saw one rider and one hiker. The trail is in great condition. | |
| UphillRider55 | 03/01/10 | Great late afternoon ride, a lot of riders out, only got runover once. Trail is in great shape. | |
| Keith B | 02/28/10 | Never seen San Juan so busy. Felt really tired going up and even more tired going down. Plenty of muddy patches and some new ruts too. | |
| Rowsby | 02/28/10 | Ride with Keith B & Ryan. The trail was slow but man I needed a ride!
Too many people on the trail today. | |
| ryanarciero | 02/22/10 | Got the entire ride in before any rain. Trail was in great shape from the rain the previous night. | |
| drg | 02/20/10 | A little muddy on the way up, lots of riders on the way down. | |
| IceCreamAndCake | 02/20/10 | fun ride with Tien,Zack and Sandy.Trail is a little wet here and there but in great shape.Mud is minor and no problem staying on top of it. | |
| bikesurfski | 02/20/10 | San Juan delivers again--minimal mud by noon--quite a few riders out. | |
| gmann | 02/19/10 | The middle third of the trail is loose and slippery. 1:26.33 to cocktail rocks, a new best. saw 5 riders coming down the switchbacks as I was going up. Met Nick and Mike at the rocks. Went OTB on the way down. My camelback and backpack cushioned most of the impact. | |
| PaulV | 02/17/10 | trail in great shape, someone has been giving it some TLC for sure (thanks!) switchbackcount -1, oh so close!! the rocky left again, almost had it, track stand, then came the dreaded foot on ground. :) saw two guys in the parking lot and then again on the descent. up=54:55, down=32:50, rt=1:27:45 | |
| chanson | 02/13/10 | crappy day for me on the bike. beautiful out and the trail is in great shape! | |
| UphillRider55 | 02/08/10 | No tumbling today, peddles are fixed, shifter cable is repaired, but the shifting was disastrous. The only gear that would stay put was 2/2; I will have to work on that soon. | |
| Ladera Dave | 01/30/10 | Rand into 20 riders today, rode with our 24 hour team. Perfect weather today. | |
| UphillRider55 | 01/15/10 | Good ride with Steve (T Bone). Trail needs rain; I just hope it doesn't get too much rain next week. | |
| ridnsolo | 01/14/10 | There was a big fire SE of the highway on my way to the trailhead, but nothing to worry about. Then some shuttlers forgot there KEYS to there truck at the top. When I was finished they where already gone, so they must of found a ride. Other than that not to windy and a great solo spin.!! | |
| trobe1 | 01/11/10 | Nice easy pace witn OTB_Again. Perfect day out there on San Juan. Had the trail to ourselves except for a rider named Ira who we met at Coctail Rocks. He started at Blue Jay and was doing the lollipop loop. Interesting attire on him. Thanks for the company Eric! | |
| OTB_again | 01/11/10 | Easy cruise up to CR with trobe1...always good riding w/ you Tom. Another beautiful day, really enjoyed the descent today. Felt OK...the back is tight. Back to the chiro... | |

| Shine | 01/01/10 | Thanks steeleboat and Jay, nice way to start off the year. | |
| cleanbeater | 12/31/09 | From yesterday with Slow Ride. Intended to do San Juan bottom to top, but 3 miles in the rain started. Made it to Cocktail and it appeared to be clearing. About a mile after Cocktail it picked back up, which is when we decided it was too wet/windy/cold to continue. Another ride for another day. | |
| bikesurfski | 12/31/09 | Spectacular end of Year ride after rains yesterday, trail was great, a couple dozen riders out there, including Craig and Steve--good to finally meet you. A bunch of us started toward Cocktail around 9 am cranking hard and a rider came up later and zoomed past everyone--she was amazing. Happy New Year everyone and hope to see you out there soon. | |
| STEVO CARRILLO | 12/28/09 | Morning ride with Lonnie's Sunday group. Started out with a pretty large group but ended with only five of us. Thanks Ben, Lonnie, Scott, and Trevor.... Ran into Terry Best and crew climbing up as we were coming down, stopped and had a chat with him. Thanks guy's for the company. | |
| Lonnie | 12/28/09 | Fun ride with Steveo, Ben, Trevor, Scott, Mike V., Larry, Dave, Beth,. All but Stevo, Ben, Scott, Trevor, and myself turned around before Cocktail Rock. Super day for the ride since the weather was perfect. | |
| big_guy | 12/26/09 | the trail is in a great condition | |
| Ben Boronow | 12/25/09 | Ride with Linked Cycling Club. | |
| trobe1 | 12/22/09 | Rode to Cocktail Rocks w/ OTB_Again & Hippydude. Had to bail out there for an appt. Nice day on San Juan, a little breezy but once again great views. Talked to a rider named Joe at Cocktail. Chased 2 other riders going up but then they pulled off to the side. Saw 1 other rider starting to come up when I was nearing the bottom. Forgot the Garmin today. | |
| UphillRider55 | 12/22/09 | Great ride on the San Juan trail only too short. Made many stops playing with the helmet cam, a little cold and windy made it down just after sunset. Saw Brian (Hippydude) and Eric (OTB Again) returning from their ride on my way up, good to see the two of you. | |
| drg | 12/19/09 | Big turn out for linked cycling!!! | |
| adventureDevon | 12/19/09 | Beautiful day on San Juan...but slightly crowded too...rode with GZ and saw about a bazillion other people too! | |
| Aceospades1250 | 12/19/09 | Really slow going on the way up | |
| goldrunner | 12/16/09 | Old guy wasn't feelin it so we cut it short. Good to almost run into Scott and nice seeing Larry Curly & Moe before they took off on their Pinos run.. | |
| agitate1890 | 12/16/09 | cut it short,sick and lame from the start.thanks ben.. | |
| UphillRider55 | 12/13/09 | I hoped to have the 29er back today but was not to be. Shop needs hardware that was not shipped with the rear swing arm. Tested the GoPro helmet cam, had trouble with moisture condensing on the lens, need to use the non-airtight back. Trail is in great shape, even though there were many riders out today. | |
| bikesurfski | 12/12/09 | Wild Toad Ride: hoped to sneak up between storms, but really rainy. After switchbacks, increasing showers--gusty, windy--foggy--gorilla in the mist. Then the fog got dark and my headlight reflected in the fog--sort of ride by feel.High penalty for going off trail.Soaked to the bone despite Gortex cover, shoe covers (water came up from below), but kept warm enough.Had to change inside 4Runner the rain was so hard. Saw four drowned-looking bikers finishing when I first started.Great experience :) | |
| PaulV | 12/09/09 | great day for SJT, super tacky and fun. A few peep's out, saw group of 3 descending and another group of 3 ascending. | |
| IceCreamAndCake | 12/09/09 | fantastic conditions | |
| drg | 12/09/09 | Rode with linked brothers. Great day!! | |
| UphillRider55 | 12/08/09 | I really miss the 29er hope they can fix it soon. Comfortable on the way, froze on the way down. Got to see the sunset near the bottom of the sandy switchbacks saw about 7 other riders on the trail today. | |
| Twitch | 12/08/09 | Great day to ride. San Juan held up great for this first rain. There were mabe some 3inch ruts. I saw BikeSurfSki head out just in front of me, we were the first up this trail today with one hiker and an old black lab off the leash. | |
| trobe1 | 12/07/09 | Decided to go out and play in the rain today. When I got to the parking lot I was surprised to see 2 other cars. While climbing saw Eric P. from RnR and he was with a guy I have met out there before, Adam. Not to bad until about a mile before Cocktail. Then it was like a winter storm - high winds and driving rain. Started to get cold at that point. San Juan is very ridable even in weather like this. Got back to car just before dark. There was an overturned truck on Ortega. Hope they are ok. | |
| goldrunner | 12/05/09 | Great ride, any time is a great time for SJ. Thanks Marks. Good seeing Jo, Willamina, Pat and about 50 other riders today. SJ was the place to be today : ) | |
| zunGu | 12/05/09 | Just be for dusk, still a number of riders about. | |
| agitate1890 | 12/05/09 | very fun ride with goldrunner... | |
| Damon M | 12/03/09 | Great night ride on Single Speed | |
| Gerry Lattimer | 12/02/09 | Nice easy night ride to the rock and back. | |
| Royster71 | 11/29/09 | Nice riding with you Mojo, Kevin and Mike. Saw a lot of familiar faces up there..Always great seeing everyone. | |
| cleanbeater | 11/27/09 | Thought a slow pace would help me kick this cold... no such luck. One OTB 4 switchbacks from the bottom capped off a great ride =). | |
