project_d12/21/07Big group for the 7am shuttle. Good times had by all! 
project_d12/12/07In the 20s up top; so cold I couldn't feel my braking fingers. Still, this is always a fun ride. Not much more water than usual on EP. 
Ladera Dave12/08/07nice ride recommended by incycle sports. 
SlowSpokes11/26/07Very unfair that my ascent total was decreased by the -4800 for this route!

project_d10/20/07Rode with the 6am crowd. As always...fun! 
project_d10/02/07Hadn't done this in a while. Trails are in great condition. Still loose, but it always is. Lots o' fun! 
Manuel Prado06/24/07Second part of the ride, with Jason and George, super fun ride worth the time and drive. Very challenging and technical. 
Manuel Prado06/24/07Look at the ratings and make sure your skills are sharp if you plan on riding this one, otherwise practice some more on your local trails and do this route when you are ready. Exercise caution on the exposed areas, perhaps get off your bike and walk. 
project_d04/01/07Hit a rock so hard I bent my rim and burped my tubeless setup on Sunset. Weak end to a killer ride. 
bjammin04/01/06Good day gone wrong. 2 flats and tagged my groin so hard I almost threw up. 
bjammin01/14/06Did this on my VPX with other DH buddies. 
alex12/12/05this trail is not a 1hr ride, only if you pussy foot it on the fire lane. if you take the rodes of to the side at the top you will get a killer ride down to lake st. 
ka0t1c0711/29/05Very fun route, saves lots of energy so we rode it twice in a couple hours.
