Big T, go to any route page and you'll see the 'how to upload gpx' blurb in the middle of the page, down the page, gray text, and this in orange ' UPLOAD - A GPX FILE'. It's actually only a few seconds to upload a gpx, that's the good news :)

09/24/18 - Just a slow mellow spin this morning. Cactus still has a few soft areas that will get you if you're not paying attention, but it is getting better.

08/20/18 - Wanted to see what things looked like up Trabuco after the fire, but they've closed the Cleveland Forest gate, to all. A ranger was on the road and I asked him how long it would be closed, he said a few months. ...added this pic.

08/18/18 - no rso. StartTime=1110. With my wife. This is the 1st post since 2018may25. My wife broke both bones in her wrist on 2018may26. I have been taking care of her 24/7 ever since. She is 1.5 years older than I am. 9 years ago she may have had a mini-stroke and her balance has not been good ever since. She can no longer dance. She still can not make a fist so she can not drive. It has only been a few weeks that she has been able to use her walker with enough pressure to keep from falling. So during the day she can now navigate around the house. At nite, she still depends on me to guide her around to the bathroom. I drive her everywhere she needs to go, eg, for physical therapy to reduce the swelling in her hand and to manipulate her fingers and wrist and forearm. The monsoon rains have made biking impossible. Prior to her being able to use her walker, I could not be away from her for more than 90 minutes and she could not get out of her lazy boy by herself.
08/19/18, 12:09 AM Glad you're able to get on the bike again, and that your wife is getting better! That must feel good after a many weeks of struggle. :)

07/30/18 - My original plan was to head up to Beek's Place, but when I got above the shade and the sun was beating down on me I decided that Plan B would be to Hidden Ranch and back, as it was warming up quick. The drop into HR was a nice cool down, and then some high clouds rolled in so I went back to the original plan. Slight cloud cover stayed with me until about mile 7 which was nice. Found a short single track that I had not noticed before at about mile 3.5 - doubled back and checked it out on the climb; very short but breaks up the fireroad decent, which by the way was very smooth today; corners nice and clean.

07/14/18 - That hurt 🙁. That was a Leadville Quaifier, which was my intent for doing the ride, Didint win to get a coin but won one from the raffle
. LT100 2019. 💯🚴🏼
06/11/18 - Slow starting but excellent ride with Jake who complains but still kills it !

05/27/18 - Stretch ride with the Mrs. Decided to coast all the way back from Cooks Corner. Needed to pedal partly up the 3 ramps on underpasses, otherwise coasted the entire way. Rather slow, albeit, but doable.
05/30/18, 10:21 PM On my 100 Miles of Nowhere Centuries we've done coasting as a contest. Start at the top of the tunnel. No pedalling at all. No rocking your bars either. A couple of us have made it past the RR tracks. Tough contest.

05/26/18 - Good ride with regular Saturday Crew ride plus some other who we haven't rode with in a while. Started with a group of 12 of us today. Good route and good times back at Rose Canyon Cantina after the ride.

05/22/18 - Just got back into town and asked my wife how much "rain" we got. "Oh, it was just a slow steady drizzle..." she says. And I believe her - Whiting's open so I was good to go; until I hit Mustard. Pedaled through the slippery slope as far as I could - made it to the last climb and really didn't want to unclip and step in it but the tires were just too caked w/mud and wouldn't turn. Spent 30 minutes up top cleaning my bike and shoes. I've been through this same scenario many times before - you would think I should know better. Riding is like a drug - it clouds your ability to think clearly... Hey - the rest of the trail was fabulous; already thinking about another ride in the morning....

05/11/18 - Irvine Ranch Conservancy ride. You know the drill, don't poach - can only go with a docent. Signed up for this intermediate ride; I was by far the slowest. Tough climb up Shoestring right off the bat. I was really beat, but eventually made it around. A few HAB's for me all around the place.
05/06/18, 04:10 AM Hi Ben. Seeing your post made me remember 6 years ago when I rode this very ride and I met you and Jr. on the trails twice. Now I can only remember it because now I can't do this kind of rides anymore. I can't store in my body the energy needed for 50 miles. At least I can enjoy the memories.
05/07/18, 08:00 AM I remember, each time we ran into you you were acting something really good. I think Pizza & Candy. Good times! Hope to see your out there again soon.

04/21/18 - SS - 2nd ride of the day. 1:12 to the gate. Final big training ride for the Rwanda Ride scheduled for next Saturday. Handed out a few Rwanda Ride business cards and asked quite a few folks if they were riding. Warm, but a nice breeze. Front brake pads squealing like a stuck pig on the downhill - gotta replace those ASAP. Took a nice nap when I got home. I'm ready for the 50 miler next week!
