California | 05/15/2022 Sun |  | | 3:45:58 4:44:58 | | Kind of too warm today for me at the start. Later the temp was excellent. No mountain biker was seen today. Maybe too hot for them. Doing Blue Mud again just after riding North Ridge. Good route. Good ride. Other Comments | 1838 | 117/150 |
California | 05/09/2022 Mon |  | | 2:29:52 3:15:46 | | Our beloved Fullerton Loop plus my first time tour on a new area called "Robert Ward Nature Preserve". I just rode the main trails today. Huge Area perfect for single track network construction. | 1178 | 108/154 |
California | 04/29/2022 Fri |  | | 4:01:23 5:41:01 | | Too many days not riding (11 days) because I was recovering from fall while riding at Cleghorn. I suffer a lot because of lack of energy. I hope next rides go normal. Today the breeze was delicious, like AC. | 1924 | 112/168 |
California | 04/18/2022 Mon |  | | 3:10:13 4:23:16 | | Good temps today at Cleghorn. First time visiting those mountains. Nobody else on the trails. No Jeeps. No dirt bikes. Only my mountain bike leaving its narrow tracks on that loose sand. I ate excrement while descending a very steep chute full of loose rocks. I am not sure if I will come back ever again to Clegghorn riding a mountain bicycle. Riding a Dirt Motorcycle is still possible. | 1793 | 121/162 |
California | 04/15/2022 Fri |  | | 5:27:20 5:27:20 |  | Excellent temps. Early afternoon ride. good ride.

California | 03/26/2022 Sat |  | | 3:40:11 4:32:57 | | Today I created one very nice new loop. I would say this route has 30% top notch high quality single tracks. Today I had a mountain biking banquet. | 1760 | 127/157 |
California | 03/24/2022 Thu |  | | 5:01:25 5:01:25 |  | Another ride to Mid Divider. Maples Springs was closed so Eagle Road is another option. | | |
California | 03/16/2022 Wed |  | | 2:18:44 5:49:32 |  | Sony day with nice temps up there in Mid Divider. Low energy level today. Riding on Mid Divider is like riding on loose ball marbles. No traction when climbing and the feel of washing out at every turn. | 1844 | 118/162 |
California | 03/15/2022 Tue |  | | 3:14:05 3:51:49 | | Excellent weather. Today I came back to Chino Hills State Park to ride my previous route backwards. Great ride. | 2435 | 102/162 |

California | 02/26/2022 Sat |  | | 4:50:12 6:55:19 | | It was in 2016 last time I went up Holy Jim. The Trail is just beautiful except the last few yards. There was some snow in MD and Buckthorn. Upper Joplin has been cleaned from rocks in its first half. NICE! My planned ride was the usual descent thru Trabuco Trail but I changed my mind when a rider I met told me that Trabuco Trail is gone at the bottom by the creek. | 2314 | 132/162 |
California | 02/18/2022 Fri |  | | 4:14:23 4:55:27 | | Noon started ride. Perfect weather and perfect riding dirt after recent rain.
Chilly at the top around 5:00 pm @ 45F.
I cleaned one of the rocky switchbacks when descending Motorway which was covered with baby head size rocks. There was more similar work left to do on the other switchbacks. It took me one extra hour to do this ride compared with 10 years ago but I still can do it. For this ride I made sure to eat plenty of real energy shedding food with excellent results for this 4000+ Ft of climbing ride. | 2256 | 131/160 |
California | 02/11/2022 Fri |  | | 3:50:25 4:44:00 | | Noon ride. Perfect weather again. Everything as usual until Motorway. The single track is more rocky and more rutted than before. I felt like falling all the time.I blame it to the loose rocks. | 1924 | 112/148 |

California | 01/24/2022 Mon |  | | 3:26:34 5:17:09 | | Outstanding weather. Customary Eagle ascent and Mid Divide ride. First time (and last time) descending West Main Street Ridge. The upper half besides being very steep and rutted was covered with a layer of loose rocks. The lower half was still very steep and rutted but at least had no loose rocks. | 1593 | 130/160 |
California | 01/20/2022 Thu |  | | 2:32:51 3:49:49 |  | Noon ride. Good temperature today. Too many days since my previous ride so I struggled. Good ride anyway. | 1296 | 127/151 |
California | 01/07/2022 Fri |  | | 5:16:36 6:53:46 | | Overcast sky. Temps in the lows 50s. Nice tacky dirt everywhere. Today I felt like pedaling a good amount of miles. The climbing was very good too. In other words I had a good ride. | 2568 | 122/163 |

California | 12/17/2021 Fri |  | | 3:45:05 8:12:20 | | Freezing temps at Main Divide. A lot of traffic on all those trails, mainly dirt bikes. | 1103 | 107/145 |
California | 12/12/2021 Sun |  | | 6:00:33 6:00:33 |  | Noon ride, Very cold at the top. I rode over a thorn garden that punctured my rear tire and made me use my hand air pump abut 7 times because my Stans sealer was dry. Not cool !!! | | |
California | 12/08/2021 Wed |  | | 3:18:10 4:20:36 | | Noon started ride. Perfect weather. I had to hike my bike 2 times because i chose a new route with 2 impossible climbs. Descending Water Canyon Trail was the reward for today's ride. | 1590 | 123/157 |
California | 11/28/2021 Sun |  | | 3:42:55 4:47:20 | | Good weather today. I suffered at the beginning because I ate lunch and started to pedal right away. I planed to descend on Cold Water Trail but the evening/night came too quickly so I went back the same way I climbed up. Other Comments | 1733 | 117/153 |

There was so much fog that I missed the connection to Strawberry Trail, ending up at the very Josephine Peak. The Strawberry Peak Trail was a torture because it was very narrow, inclined toward the cliff and very loose. There were about 5 miles of that and my butt cheeks were clinched tight because of the fear of going down into those vertical precipices. | 1829 | 128/175 |

(And hiking too) Today's goal was to explore LAVIDA Road towards the south after its junction with Olinda Road.

California | 01/08/2020 Wed |  | | 1:15:00 2:21:47 | | Perfect temps. Beautiful place to hike and ride. If you are riding it bring with you another pair of socks and shoes. You are going to be crossing Walnut Creek more than 20 times round trip and the creek is kind of deep at some crossings. | 410 | 120/130 |

The following is information about my health.
I am posting it on 12/20/19 for whom maybe wondering why I haven't posted any ride in a while.
A vain exactly located behind my right knee bursted. Indeed is not a major medical affection but prevents me from riding for a while. My legs are for me like the fingers for a pianist. Now, I day dream about so many rides I have done during the last 10 years as mountain biker. Marry Christmas and Happy new year to everyone. | 701 | 132/160 |
California | 12/05/2019 Thu |  | | 3:37:46 4:28:05 | | Chose to do a road ride in order to avoid the mud. Good weather today. | 2801 | 120/155 |

California | 11/17/2019 Sun |  | | 4:34:18 5:45:08 | | Daylight started, night time finished. Very hot at lower altitude but nicely fresh at the top. More than 10 years since I rode Harding Truck Trail last time, and even more time since I descended upper Joplin Trail. Upper Joplin has been cleaned recently from brush. The rocks and ruts keep the same. Very tough and steep descent. I am happy I did not fall considering that the chances of crashing are very high. I would say 80%. Other Comments | 2315 | 142/165 |
California | 11/12/2019 Tue |  | | 3:44:00 4:41:31 |  | Daytime started-Night time finished. Turned my lights on at the Doppler Ball. Cold at Main Divide. Good ride. | 2140 | 132/262 |

California | 10/13/2019 Sun |  | | 3:14:00 3:44:56 | | Afternoon ride. Today's ride was designed to descent Pipeline Trail after visiting Sierra Peak. First time descending Pipeline. The upper section of Pipeline has 5 or 6 very steep sections between 40 and 50% grade and about 150 feet long. Because recent bulldozing those steep sections were even more challenging since the dirt was soft, loose and covered with small rocks. After conquering those sections the rest was a very pleasant descent. | 1201 | 132/160 |
California | 10/11/2019 Fri |  | | 3:49:37 3:49:37 |  | Very warm at the start at 2:00 pm. There was fresh breeze bowing at times. Good ride. | | |

California | 10/04/2019 Fri |  | | 4:20:12 5:42:06 | | Very warm at the start. Quite fresh at the end. Riding Fenceline was the goal for today. If we divide Fenceline in 3 sections being the 1st from the trailhead to the first fired road crossing. The 1st section is not rideable because of the overgrown vegetation is closing the trail in a 99%. I didn't ride it. I gave up after 1/4 of a mile. The 2nd, from the first fire road to the second fire road is rideable but very difficult because of the same reason. The 3rd section has been cleared. | 2841 | 132/171 |

That's why I only rode 16 miles today. One of those mysterious days in which the body is not in the mood. | 1358 | 132/162 |

Skully Ridge Trail is a nightmare to ride. Very tall and dry Mustard during most of the trail. Must wear long sleeves, shin protectors and eye protection too. | 2147 | 133/172 |
California | 09/13/2019 Fri |  | | 2:31:00 3:44:30 | | I am using this route in order to do a manual posting for today's ride. I forgot to stop the timer at the end of the ride and the Garmin recorded my trip home too.
Mileage and ascent are almost identical. First time doing 5 Oaks Trail and I think will be the last. In contrast going down Meadows was delightful. | 1641 | 132/166 |

California | 07/19/2019 Fri |  | | 3:08:00 4:24:26 | | Temperature in the low 70s at the start. Later in the 60s. The Sun was merciless though. I haven't ridden in Aliso in many years. Maybe 6 yeas. I started by climbing Meadows. I stopped to catch my breath about 4 times. In the pass i used to climb Meadows non stop. Now I am 6 years older and 20 pounds heavier. I was able to climb Cholla non stop. That made me feel great. Other Comments | 2888 | 132/162 |

California | 05/10/2019 Fri |  | | 2:27:00 4:21:11 |  | Good temps at the start. Later started to rain when still climbing STT. Wetted and chilled at the end. About one mile of horrible wheel caking mud before the highest point of STT before the flag. From Cooks we had to ride on the asphalt to the car instead traversing Whiting.

California | 04/24/2019 Wed |  | | 1:02:21 1:46:00 |  | Because no bicycles are allowed in Oak Canyon Nature Center I walked. This area is like a Jurassic Park right in the middle of Anaheim Hills. | 401 | 90/100 |

California | 04/08/2019 Mon |  | | 3:42:36 4:07:08 |  | Daytime start with night time return. Not cold at all at the peak. I haven't been at the peak in more than 6 years. I had the idea that that section from 4C to the peak was shorter. Used the first section of Bockthorn to comeback from the peak. That was my reward from this ride. | 2067 | 135/158 |
California | 04/07/2019 Sun |  | | 1:30:53 1:49:04 |  | Walked with wife. The trail is almost unrecognizable because the overgrown vegetation. Several bicycles riding in opposite direction (downhill for them) | 748 | 99/110 |
California | 04/02/2019 Tue |  | | 2:17:28 2:55:12 |  | Afternoon ride. Fresh breeze. All good. | 1112 | 131/167 |
California | 03/29/2019 Fri |  | | 2:16:36 2:33:57 |  | Good ride. | 1338 | 138/160 |
California | 03/25/2019 Mon |  | | 2:15:19 3:41:34 |  | Night ride. Felt good. Tonight I brought a shovel with me in order to fix the landing where I fell last time. After fixing it I rode up to the top of the hill to ride that trail again now at 9:00 pm. Success, I did not fall this time. | 1169 | 134/161 |
California | 03/22/2019 Fri |  | | 2:04:46 2:26:05 |  | Night ride. Not too cold. Overgrown vegetation everywhere. Nice tacky dirt with many new annoying ruts. | 1057 | 110/165 |
California | 03/19/2019 Tue |  | | 2:41:02 3:35:18 |  | First time on the left side of Coal Canyon. This is a dirt road called Pipeline Trail. Pipeline has very little traffic due to major hike a bike sections along the trail. I quitted about one mile before Leonard Road junction. After my descent I went up 1/2 mile on Coal Canyon Trail in order to explore some hills east side of the trail. BTW when descending the hill I went OTB when I fell into an invisible hole covered with tall grass | 1287 | 130/158 |
California | 03/17/2019 Sun |  | | 39:27 2:14:00 |  | Hiked with wife, Only 3/4 of mile uphill during which we ascended 755 feet. We had to abort the hike since my wife started to feel light headed because the extreme effort. I rode Smashface 2 1/2 years ago. Today during this walk I was amazed how I was able to ride this extremely steep trail without smashing my face. | 106 | 101/122 |
California | 03/13/2019 Wed |  | | 1:56:33 2:32:00 |  | Good ride. Low temps. (New chain) | 990 | 117/148 |
California | 03/10/2019 Sun |  | | 2:42:26 3:39:06 |  | Noon ride. Excellent temps. Felt ok. Today I fell descending the eastern new single track that connects the ridge trail with the bottom trail (Trails in this area are called Anaheim Hills hiking and biking trails)Fortunately I fell well. Nothing at all happened to me nor the bicycle. | 1298 | 127/163 |
California | 03/09/2019 Sat |  | | 3:11:29 4:35:11 |  | Walked with wife. Good temps. Everywhere semi over grown. | 444 | 101/111 |
California | 03/04/2019 Mon |  | | 2:21:42 2:45:17 |  | Monday night ride. No raining during the ride but I found many large mud puddles plus fresh mud on the entire trail. Very cold at the ball, 40F. when got back home I had to wash the bike and shoes | 1218 | 118/157 |
California | 03/01/2019 Fri |  | | 2:12:53 2:53:10 |  | Night ride. Excellent temps. I squeezed this ride in before the weather forecast announcing rain for the next 5 consecutive days. I felt super today. I think this cannabis supplement called CBD really works. I feel 30 years younger. | 1253 | 140/165 |
California | 02/25/2019 Mon |  | | 3:00:18 3:36:34 |  | Noon ride. Good temps. Last Sunday I walked with wife on the bottom area of Coal Canyon called Big Mo Trail. During my walk I spotted a possible rideable descent from Coal Canyon Trail above down to Big Mo thru an even graded hill. Today I rode it. After that I headed to Chino Hills State Park and climbed for the first time the Skully Hill Trail up to Skully Ridge Trail. This climb is a bitch. One mile of a continuous 18% grade.

California | 02/24/2019 Sun |  | | 2:16:09 2:54:58 |  | Walked with wife on Sunday morning. | 308 | 101/120 |
California | 02/20/2019 Wed |  | | 3:36:43 4:34:26 |  | Perfect weather. 100% overcast with 0% rain. Felt good the entire ride. My descent from the top of the ridge to the train tracks was thru a path I discovered during last Sunday walk, which is descending the bare steep mountain riding over grass and bushes. | 1782 | 139/164 |
California | 02/19/2019 Tue |  | | 1:44:01 2:23:31 |  | Noon ride. Still chilly at noon. Today I introduced a friend to the Fullerton Loop. He's bought a 2019 Giant Trance 29er I advised him to get because I am very happy with mine. He finished still in good shape. | 749 | 111/160 |
California | 02/17/2019 Sun |  | | 1:49:27 2:32:01 |  | Blue sky during the entire walk. Sunny but cold. In few minutes after ending the walk the sky was covered 100% with clouds. When the rain started I was already home. | 727 | 110/120 |
California | 02/12/2019 Tue |  | | 4:27:53 5:28:39 |  | Mixed ride. Day time ascent, night descent. Not too cold. | 2220 | 120/160 |
California | 02/07/2019 Thu |  | | 2:47:33 3:54:39 |  | This is one of my favorites routes, STT back and forth. I avoid going down Luge because is too short and I like RIDING. I cleared up a rock slide about 1/4 of a mile after the flag. When coming back I rode all those single tracks existing after the tough climb. They are just GREAT! -- BTW, I started my timer from Santiago Canyon Road. | 1280 | 145/170 |
California | 02/01/2019 Fri |  | | 1:25:21 1:30:45 |  | Night ride. Still fresh mud and mud puddles everywhere from Thursday big rain. Had to ride very cautiously to prevent spills. Low temps in the 50s. | 672 | 132/160 |
California | 01/27/2019 Sun |  | | 1:13:08 1:17:23 |  | Felt great today in contrast to my previous ride 3 days ago when I felt horrible. | 654 | 139/163 |
California | 01/26/2019 Sat |  | | 2:08:00 3:15:38 |  | Walked with wife. Nice sunshine but a lot of wind. Too much wind I would say. | 445 | 101/115 |
California | 01/24/2019 Thu |  | | 2:58:23 4:08:57 |  | Excellent temps. In the high 60s and low 70s, Not in my best shape. I suffered a lot today. I still can't figure out how come some days are crapy and other days are great. Thanks God not every ride is like today's. | 1469 | 140/166 |
California | 01/20/2019 Sun |  | | 3:00:03 3:45:18 |  | Walked with wife. Perfect weather. All hills starting to go green showing a short blade grass. These hills are a blessing. Very nice place for walking and mountain biking as well | 590 | |
California | 01/19/2019 Sat |  | | 2:23:06 2:36:27 |  | Crystal Cove and Bommer Ridge Trail were closed because of the recent rains. I could not complete my usual loop so I came back the same way I went. | 1143 | 136/162 |
California | 01/11/2019 Fri |  | | 2:19:06 2:32:45 |  | Nice tacky dirt. Good ride. | 700 | 142/169 |
California | 01/06/2019 Sun |  | | 4:17:11 5:20:30 |  | Ride after yesterday big rainy day. Fenceline was slippery but rideable. Raptor and South ridge were hideously muddy with the kind of dirt that cake the tires. No wonder there were no other bicycles tracks anywhere. Chilly temps during the entire ride. Started during day time and I had to turn my lights on at 4 corners. | 1844 | 136/169 |
California | 12/31/2018 Mon |  | | 2:31:12 3:27:14 |  | Walk with wife on the last day of 2018. I rode Fenceline Trail few years ago. On that opportunity the trail was overgrown and the trail was not visible some 50% of it. This time the trail was so clean and beautiful that I will be riding it next week. In my opinion this is the best trail for walk or ride in the Park. Its a continuous non technical 5 mile single track. | 448 | 110/120 |
California | 12/27/2018 Thu |  | | 1:16:10 1:21:10 |  | Night ride. While in the neighborhood. | 680 | 142/164 |
California | 12/23/2018 Sun |  | | 2:16:19 2:55:19 |  | Walk/hike with wife. Finally I was able to check out by foot this Billy Goat Tral. The Billy Goat Trail in the downhill direction has a hike a bike section that makes this trail, (forbidden for bicycles) not worthy for mountain bicycles anyway. | 623 | 110/120 |
California | 12/21/2018 Fri |  | | 1:17:55 1:30:51 |  | Night ride. Chilly ride. Tacky dirt. | 696 | 136/161 |
California | 12/16/2018 Sun |  | | 3:15:49 4:16:58 |  | Walk/hike with wife. When walking I can appreciate the views in more depth. | 794 | |
California | 12/15/2018 Sat |  | | 2:09:52 2:41:16 |  | Night ride. Cold but not freezing. I felt super tonight. I did some night exploration. With my super potent lights night riding is like day riding. | 1121 | 111/165 |
California | 12/09/2018 Sun |  | | 1:28:17 2:08:34 |  | I rode the Modena Open Space Hills 2 or 3 times some 6 years ago. In this walk I found new trails which I enjoyed in the company of my wife. | 230 | 101/115 |
California | 12/08/2018 Sat |  | | 2:11:36 2:24:07 |  | Good temps and tacky trails. I felt like s#@t from the start. It took me around 10 miles to start feeling normal. By the end I felt super. | 1167 | 140/162 |
California | 11/25/2018 Sun |  | | 1:34:39 2:21:50 |  | Night ride. Good temps in the 60s F. Not a long ride at all but it kicked my butt. The dirt was still tacky from Wednesday rains. I love tacky trails. | 827 | 139/162 |
California | 11/24/2018 Sat |  | | 3:27:13 4:41:05 |  | Walked with wife. I took her to a partial of one of my MTB rides by Olinda area and also to the new single tracks along North Ridge Trail.
The temps were perfect. We had a cloudy morning with fresh breeze at times Other Comments | 1241 | 110/122 |
California | 11/20/2018 Tue |  | | 2:06:30 2:20:25 |  | Afternoon ride with my son. Good temps | 1114 | 133/155 |
California | 11/18/2018 Sun |  | | 3:03:31 3:39:49 |  | Night ride. Good temps, cold but not chilly. I finally could complete my exploration of the new single tracks trails created on North Ridge which go from hill to hill and crosses the main NR trail several times. Other Comments | 1511 | 137/163 |
California | 11/17/2018 Sat |  | | 2:14:24 2:59:08 |  | Walked with wife. I visited again after 9 years, the beginning of Chutes where I had an OTB that cause me to land on my knees and broke my left knee.
I never rode that section again. | 515 | |
California | 11/10/2018 Sat |  | | 2:17:11 2:57:41 |  | Walked with wife. I took her to a partial of my favorite training route in my backyard. | 763 | 110/140 |
California | 11/09/2018 Fri |  | | 2:06:40 2:29:11 |  | Afternoon ride. Turned my lights on when by the lake. | 1118 | 133/184 |
California | 11/02/2018 Fri |  | | 2:45:00 3:15:00 | | Night ride. All went supper. Chilly coming back though. | 2111 | 136/162 |
California | 10/27/2018 Sat |  | | 2:13:54 2:53:55 |  | Walking with wife a partial of my favorite bike ride in the Anaheim Hills area. | 1163 | |
California | 10/25/2018 Thu |  | | 4:00:43 5:04:43 |  | Night ride. This ride has a small variation to the original route. At Turmbull Canyon area, I rode the Worsham trail out and back instead looping on the fire roads north of it.
Good night ride. I felt pretty good along the ride which was very well illuminated by a beautiful full Moon. | 2164 | 136/165 |
California | 10/20/2018 Sat |  | | 2:14:14 2:45:52 |  | I was missing (this) my favorite route. Started late afternoon when still was daylight, It was already night when finish. Almost full moon. | 1137 | 133/159 |
Utah | 10/10/2018 Wed |  | | 2:16:27 2:42:39 |  | Great ride in the Thunder Mountain, Utah. The trail was muddy from rain the night before. Still a lot of traction though. | 1100 | |
California | 10/10/2018 Wed |  | | 2:16:27 2:42:38 |  | Timer started from the hotel. | 1100 | 122/166 |
California | 10/08/2018 Mon |  | | 57:48 1:55:01 |  | Road ride. Sometime riding on the city bicycle trail, sometimes on the dirt. When riding on the dirt, my tires were caked with hundred of thorns. Fortunately I had tubeless tires with Stans. Spent around 1 hour removing the thorns. It happened 3 times. | 434 | |
California | 10/08/2018 Mon |  | | 44:45 1:01:28 |  | | 258 | |
California | 10/08/2018 Mon |  | | 1:51:47 2:31:33 |  | Timer started from the hotel. Black diamond level trail. | 750 | |
California | 10/06/2018 Sat |  | | 2:47:23 3:45:11 |  | Walk (hike) with wife. The weather was perfect. It was overcast the entire time. I wanted to check how steep is the trail in order to ride it going downhill. We didn't climb up to the peak. It was too steep for her. The last climb before turning around was 45% grade. Besides very steep, it was all loose gravel. | 1140 | 108/120 |
California | 09/27/2018 Thu |  | | 4:46:57 6:13:58 |  | Night ride. Fresno Canyon Trail is a very tough trail going uphill. When baling out I found a beautiful single track in Wardlow Canyon that was the reward of this ride. | 2421 | 128/169 |
California | 09/21/2018 Fri |  | | 1:53:55 2:18:00 | | Night ride. Felt super tonight. I am very, very happy with my new Giant Trance 29er. Excellent climber, very stable, superb suspension. It should be called Giant Cadillac. Now I can climb with ease what I was struggling before. My only complaint is that in the highest gear and pedaling as fast as I can my cruising speed is only 18 mph. I would happily install a second larger chain-ring. BTW. I had to post this ride manually because in the Garmin page there was not the usual "Looking for Devise" initial step. THE PAGE WAS THERE BUT DEAD. | 999 | 135/159 |
California | 09/14/2018 Fri |  | | 2:27:00 3:01:00 | | I started the timer from Santiago Canyon Road. | 1250 | 135/162 |
California | 09/07/2018 Fri |  | | 2:05:01 2:23:08 |  | Short spin before work ridden on Friday at noon. This time I went exploring in Yorba Linda and Coal Canyon and found new pathways that, put together, made this new route possible. | 1065 | 131/156 |
California | 09/01/2018 Sat |  | | 3:33:24 4:13:09 |  | Night ride. Ride done on Saturday but posted on Sunday. The GL program doesn't acknowledge my ride for the game. I have to request staff to do it manually. Thanks | 1816 | 134/167 |
California | 08/23/2018 Thu |  | | 2:08:38 2:56:47 |  | Night ride. Today I broke-in my new Giant Trance 29er. Only good things I can say about this bike. I already have a 27.5 Trance that I have been riding every week for the last 4 years. My only complaint about the 27.5 is the pedals too low. Too close to the floor. Well, the 29er pedals are at least one inch higher which is super great. Now I have to get used to only one chain ring in the front. | 1120 | 134/160 |
California | 08/19/2018 Sun |  | | 2:26:00 3:01:00 | | Manual posting of a similar route I rode yesterday. (I forgot to stop my Garmin at the end of the ride and the devise also recorded my trip back home) | 1650 | 135/162 |
California | 08/16/2018 Thu |  | | 4:27:15 5:33:47 |  | Night ride (again). Good temps in the night (of course - that is why I ride in the night). For this ride I took Scully Ridge Trail instead Aliso. The millage is just one mile difference but the climbing is 600 feet more through Scully. I am not creating a new route for just 600 feet. Btw; it was a good ride. | 2225 | 137/163 |
California | 08/09/2018 Thu |  | | 2:15:08 2:49:44 |  | Night ride. Very warm when started. Somewhat fresh at the end. I was very happy and enjoyed my energy level today. Ashes from the Holy fire was falling like snow flakes during my ride.
Wow! | 1107 | 143/165 |
California | 08/02/2018 Thu |  | | 2:31:42 3:32:38 |  | Night ride. | 1250 | 139/160 |
California | 07/27/2018 Fri |  | | 2:59:59 3:34:00 | | 95F when started around 4:00 pm. When in Bommer Canyon I enjoyed very much the fresh ocean breeze. Due to the heat (I guess) practically no mountain bikers were out. Good ride though. This is a manual post done with my iPhone due to having NO INTERNET in my house today. First time posting with the phone. I still don't know if it is going to work. | 1890 | 133/166 |
California | 07/15/2018 Sun |  | | 3:56:55 4:40:56 |  | Night ride. Started at 9:00 pm. Finished it at 1:40 am. Very dark night. Some Jeeps with ultra potent lights riding along the mid divider. Last time I rode this route was 7 years ago. My moving time back then was almost one hour less. It sucks to get old. | 2036 | 132/160 |
California | 07/08/2018 Sun |  | | 4:11:00 5:45:00 | | Night ride. Temps in the 70s. Coal Canyon Trail and Leonard Trail en excellent conditions. Had 2 flats during my return. | 2200 | 132/166 |
California | 07/05/2018 Thu |  | | 2:26:56 2:55:42 |  | Night ride. Temps in the mid 70s. The main feature of this brand new route is the descent of 2 neighboring steep single tracks that go from top of ridge to the bottom official Anaheim Biking and Hiking Trail. By the way descending those in the night was very challenging. | 1251 | 141/167 |
California | 06/24/2018 Sun |  | | 3:56:00 5:25:00 | | Night ride. Had to do this posting manual because my Garmin turned off after 3 miles. For my comeback I rode for the first time El Cajon Trail (Alternative for Bastanchury)which is the correct route for a mountain bike.
Started at 9:30pm and finished at 3:00am. Temps in the low 60s. | 2211 | 131/150 |
California | 06/15/2018 Fri |  | | 2:26:26 3:12:37 |  | Excellent temps when I rode (Late afternoon) While in the top ridge of Anaheim Hills Trail I went exploring many of the new trail people created and I found a super fun single track of about 1/2 mile long that goes all the way to the bottom trail. So I had to create this new route. It deserves it.
Around mile 11.2 I had to deal with a temporary fence placed in the middle of the trail leaving me about 18 inches of trail to ride on, with the fence on the left side and a 6 foot cliff on the right side. What I didn't know was that the fence was electrified and when my handlebar touched it the jolt of electricity made fall down to the bottom of the cliff. | 1161 | 134/162 |
California | 06/09/2018 Sat |  | | 3:57:30 4:46:17 |  | 75% Night ride. Good temps and decent energy level from me. | 2015 | 142/163 |
California | 06/02/2018 Sat |  | | 1:56:26 2:29:01 |  | Very nice loop. I like it a lot. | 992 | 136/167 |
California | 05/26/2018 Sat |  | | 4:09:12 4:59:30 |  | Excellent temperature during the entire ride, 62F. North Ridge trail has been debushed, nice. Btw. I found a new single track going from hill to hill in North Ridge, which I rode making the boring travel thru NR more interesting. | 2090 | 138/162 |
California | 05/23/2018 Wed |  | | 1:16:59 1:27:09 |  | Night ride. Started pedaling at 4:00am just after work. One fall, nothing major but I hate falling.

California | 05/06/2018 Sun |  | | 1:56:35 2:23:53 |  | Night ride. 80F when started, 72F when finished. Felt good and strong. Very pleasant ride. Happy to be alive and healthy. | 1043 | 134/161 |
California | 04/29/2018 Sun |  | | 3:04:18 3:30:43 |  | Night ride. (From 8:15 pm to 11:45 pm) Good temps. Tacky dirt. The tacky surface allowed me to pedal/climb completely the longest/steepest bitch of Telegraph without walking it (2nd time in my MTB life) | 1622 | 135/171 |
California | 04/21/2018 Sat |  | | 2:20:34 2:57:01 |  | Very warm today. | 1165 | 136/157 |
California | 04/13/2018 Fri |  | | 3:09:03 3:29:34 |  | I couldn't ride it the day of the event because I was injured from a fall. Today finally I found the time and a good day to do it. I did not ride the asphalted Plano Trabuco having a dirt trail behind Robinson Ranch, adding at least 15 more minutes. I consider it a sin. Good temps. I turned my lights on when riding by the creek. | 1720 | 142/166 |
California | 04/06/2018 Fri |  | | 5:16:38 6:20:27 |  | Good ride. Slow but good. Good because I didn't fall, but I suffered a lot. | 2686 | 132/162 |
California | 03/31/2018 Sat |  | | 2:06:20 2:19:52 |  | Afternoon ride. Fresh breeze blowing at times. Good energy level today. Good ride. | 1177 | 144/163 |
California | 03/24/2018 Sat |  | | 4:18:15 5:01:35 |  | Daylight ascent nighttime descent.
Turned my lights on at the ball. Tacky all the way with some (avoidable) mud puddles. Very cold (43F) from Sierra Peak on. Good ride. Saw nobody anywhere. | 2186 | 132/166 |
California | 03/17/2018 Sat |  | | 2:08:41 2:47:42 |  | I struggled to do this little ride but I still could do it. I applied the "mind over matter" theory. | 1000 | 141/165 |
California | 03/08/2018 Thu |  | | 2:41:18 3:35:33 |  | Night ride. Excellent temps. Quite a few riders tonight doing Old Camp. Good ride. | 1250 | 151/252 |
California | 02/24/2018 Sat |  | | 3:07:55 4:21:50 |  | First time in Santiago Oaks after the November fire. Still all vegetation is charred and no green is visible. Only few trails are closed, for example Coachwhip is still closed. | 1712 | 136/164 |
California | 02/17/2018 Sat |  | | 2:23:46 2:47:25 |  | Slow paced afternoon ride. Good temps with fresh breeze blowing at times. This is a very pleasant ride with challenging descents and steep ascents as well. Last time I rode this route was in 2012, 6 years ago. | 1123 | 135/161 |
California | 02/10/2018 Sat |  | | 1:36:44 1:50:57 |  | Night ride. I was the only rider last night in the Loop. Good temps. To make this ride interesting I went backwards. When ridden backwards it feels like a totally new path. And, to make it even more interesting I connected to the Super Loop route somewhere. | 771 | 136/176 |
California | 02/03/2018 Sat |  | | 3:30:29 4:18:52 |  | I'd like to comment about Scully Ridge Trail. Last time I rode Scully the trail/road was recently bulldozed. It was loose and unpleasant. Well today I found the trail covered with a short blade grass in its totality. It is beautiful and tacky. I enjoyed it.
Had to turn my lights on while in North Ridge. Excellent temps. | 1827 | 136/164 |
California | 01/26/2018 Fri |  | | 3:09:48 4:04:16 |  | Started around 3:00 pm. Turned my lights on before 4 corners. Very cold up there: 40F. Had a flat on the rear but I did not fix it. I kept on putting air in it till the end, maybe 6 times. I haven't descended Motorway in several years. In the night the trail seems longer. | 1738 | 135/163 |
California | 01/20/2018 Sat |  | | 2:09:09 2:36:15 |  | Hi guys. Now 2 1/2 years have passed since last time I did this very route. Not in my best prime but I still can make it. | 1107 | 134/161 |
California | 01/12/2018 Fri |  | | 2:54:36 3:33:29 |  | All trails and dirt roads deliciously tacky. | 1366 | 139/163 |
California | 01/05/2018 Fri |  | | 2:18:11 2:42:03 |  | Training ride. Late afternoon ascent. Early evening descent. Tuned my lights ON at the Ball. Descending on the steep single tracks in the night is very challenging. | 1207 | 133/155 |
California | 01/01/2018 Mon |  | | 1:42:22 1:53:48 |  | Late afternoon ride. Very heavy (myself) from overeating during the holidays. | 844 | 132/156 |
California | 12/25/2017 Mon |  | | 3:13:56 3:58:16 |  | Cold to chilly temps today. 43F was the lowest I saw during my ride. Most trails have been debushed. The ones that did not were hard to penetrate. Turned my lights ON at four corners. | 1579 | 138/222 |
California | 12/23/2017 Sat |  | | 1:20:44 1:22:29 |  | Night ride just before Christmas. Very cold to chilly. 40F in some places. Few other riders also making it around the loop. | 701 | 132/163 |
California | 12/14/2017 Thu |  | | 2:12:56 2:25:49 |  | Good ride. Good temps. | 1129 | 131/177 |
California | 12/10/2017 Sun |  | | 2:13:05 2:52:49 |  | Morning ride. Temps at 85F constant. Schabarum Trail has been mini bulldozed to a smooth surface and cleared from the dry overgrown bushes. | 1036 | 136/169 |
California | 11/26/2017 Sun |  | | 2:29:00 3:11:12 | | Went up at noon time. Not too hot today. | 936 | 133/161 |
California | 11/10/2017 Fri |  | | 1:18:40 1:21:16 |  | Night ride. Good temps. I almost had an OTB when descending the last steep hill because a new pavement placed on the landing road has a shoulder ditch in the shape of a deep "V". So guys be careful. | 692 | 138/193 |
California | 11/04/2017 Sat |  | | 1:43:53 1:55:22 |  | Training ride. Good temps. | 874 | 126/160 |
California | 10/27/2017 Fri |  | | 2:59:13 3:25:47 |  | 100% Night ride. Felt unbelievable strong. As strong as I was 4 years ago. I did not suffer at all. Pure enjoyment. Like most mountain bikers should feel. For climbing North Ridge I brought my shin guards which are a must for that single track since is very overgrown with stiff bushes. | 1398 | 131/155 |
Utah | 10/20/2017 Fri |  | | 2:59:11 3:35:46 |  | 4th and last ride in Utah. This ride was a must for me during this visit to Moab. A whole lot of riders today in both directions. Good temps with cold breeze. | 1042 | 132/154 |
Utah | 10/19/2017 Thu |  | | 2:16:41 3:12:02 |  | 3rd ride in Utah, Moab. Could not complaint about anything. Good temps. 100% traction. Nice loop. | 960 | 138/161 |
Utah | 10/17/2017 Tue |  | | 5:18:34 7:17:21 |  | 2nd ride in Utah. Tough ride. And the older I get the tougher it feels. | 1430 | 138/161 |
Utah | 10/15/2017 Sun |  | | 4:07:15 6:11:10 |  | First ride in Utah. Snow on the entire trail/ride. Melting snow/mud at the end making my bike a real mess. | 1833 | 139/164 |
California | 10/07/2017 Sat |  | | 3:20:42 3:52:51 |  | Night training ride. Scully Ridge Trail has been destroyed. Now is a real very wide and smooth (and loose) fire road. I didn't like it. Next Saturday I will be riding in Park City, Fruita and Moab. I am not in my best shape for what is coming but I will get in shape over there or else. | 1666 | 135/160 |
California | 10/01/2017 Sun |  | | 1:37:45 1:55:18 |  | Even feeling sick today I went riding.
After the ride I felt better. MTB, good for your body and good for your soul. | 753 | 124/153 |
California | 09/23/2017 Sat |  | | 1:56:38 2:26:10 |  | Late afternoon training ride. Excellent temps. Good ride. | 996 | 139/206 |
California | 09/15/2017 Fri |  | | 2:46:36 3:20:17 |  | Posting from the Garmin is now faster than ever. Late evening ride with an overcast sky = GREAT RIDE! Descending North Ridge requires shin protectors. The single track is overgrown with those stiff bushes that scratch and scratch and scratch the already bleeding scratches. Awful, hideous. The only good thing about it is that there are only 4 miles of that. | 1355 | 132/156 |
California | 09/09/2017 Sat |  | | 5:06:00 6:31:28 |  | Nice all successful ride with Fooly Culy. SART after Morton Ridge was very loose and overgrown. At the end already down on Highway 38 was very hot and my energy level was almost 0%. In any case was a great ride. | 2453 | 137/159 |
California | 09/01/2017 Fri |  | | 1:45:43 2:00:15 |  | Thanks to GL staff I was able to upload my today ride like I normally used to do. This was a night training ride. Even in the early night was very hot but at least was not Sun rays making it worse. | 908 | 139/159 |
California | 08/26/2017 Sat |  | | 2:02:00 2:22:00 | | Night training ride. Temp in the low 80s around 9:00pm. Many spiderwebs (in my path) with their corresponding big spider in the center along the ride. Some times they were hanging of the helmet in front of eyes. | 1800 | 140/167 |
California | 08/19/2017 Sat |  | | 2:24:36 2:54:00 | | After I found the way to post my rides from the Garmin using Internet Explorer, GeoLadders eliminates this option from the Route page. I hate Strava. I am not going to post in Strava first to be able later to post in GL using GPX.
I am going to post manually from now on. | 1100 | 136/155 |
California | 08/13/2017 Sun |  | | 1:15:00 1:30:00 | | Training ride | 1100 | 140/160 |
California | 08/06/2017 Sun |  | | 10:00 10:00 | | Ride (up and down) from bottom of Modjeska Grade in Santiago Canyon Road to STT Trailhead. | 300 | 155/162 |
California | 08/05/2017 Sat |  | | 2:24:42 3:25:10 |  | Night ride. Temps in the 70s with some fog. STT has been widened from Cadillac fork to Old Camp. Not a bulldozer work. More like a Jeep going up and down several times.
Good ride for me considering my lack of training. | 1113 | 134/169 |
California | 07/28/2017 Fri |  | | 2:25:50 2:44:20 |  | Night training ride. More than 3 years have passed since last time I rode the Super Loop. It used to be one of my favorites rides until I discovered/crated the Anaheim Hills Loop which I have ridden 58 times. Excellent temps and great ride. I felt strong. Rode with my son Bonebag after almost 2 years of not riding together. My son was the person who introduced me to MTB 8 years ago. | 1180 | 134/182 |
California | 07/21/2017 Fri |  | | 2:58:30 3:19:42 |  | Night ride. It was a warm night. | 1342 | 133/163 |
California | 07/13/2017 Thu |  | | 2:07:31 2:31:44 |  | Later night training ride. Temps in the low 70s. Good ride. | 1033 | 132/161 |
California | 07/07/2017 Fri |  | | 2:05:00 2:44:00 | | Waited for the sunset.(Too hot today)
When I turned my lights on I was still going out. Very overgrown everywhere. | 1200 | 145/172 |
California | 07/01/2017 Sat |  | | 3:29:40 5:54:27 |  | This is half of the Official GL Chiquito route. I have ridden the entire official route in the past when I was in good shape. Today I barely could finish this half. Chiquito Trail is now much tougher due to water erosion and overgrown on top of that. The temps from 94 to 105. No crashes or OTBs. | 948 | 138/164 |
California | 06/18/2017 Sun |  | | 3:03:00 3:33:00 | | Night ride. 70F at the peak at 10 pm. It was very hard to get to the top in my current shape.
One month ago I could not walk. Three weeks ago I was walking with a cane. I thought I would never be able to ride again. | 2100 | 130/160 |
California | 06/08/2017 Thu |  | | 2:59:30 3:35:45 |  | Finally with the help of my son who is a computer programmer I was able to upload the rides from my Garmin to GL.
I realized that the biggest benefit from Geoladders is the possibility of download routs into my Garmin whenever I am going to ride a new route.
I got lost one time in Idyllwild when it was a snow storm and I almost died that night. From that incident I always want to have the chosen route in my Garmin. | 1474 | 131/173 |
California | 06/02/2017 Fri |  | | 2:00:00 2:08:00 | | Night training ride. Blackstar road is smooth like a freeway. 50F at the top at 9:30pm. Chilly descent. | 2100 | 132/162 |
California | 05/30/2017 Tue |  | | 2:00:00 2:15:00 | | I have ridden this route 57 times so far for a total of 800 miles. The best part about this route for me is the NO COMMUTE feature. | 1850 | 130/170 |
California | 05/27/2017 Sat |  | | 1:30:30 1:45:00 | | Assessment ride. First ride after my accident exactly one month ago. My leg doing pretty good but I am obviously out of shape. Now is going to take me months to get to a decent riding shape again. I was going crazy for not being able to ride and, in order to cope with the cravings I was watching a bunch of MTB videos in YouTube and I did some hiking too. I need to be in nature and have contact with the dirt. | 1200 | 123/164 |
California | 05/03/2017 Wed |  | | 1:15:00 1:20:00 | | Last Thursday night ride. Unfortunately I ate dirt, in other words I fell. One of those falls that messes you up more than expect. I got a big hematoma in my right thigh that keeps me confined at home. I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS! Other Comments | 980 | 148/166 |
California | 04/22/2017 Sat |  | | 1:55:00 2:05:00 | | After sunset training ride. 66F by 9:30. Felt almost strong. Due to overgrown vegetation everywhere I was forced to skip some nice trails. Good ride! | 1200 | 148/174 |
California | 04/14/2017 Fri |  | | 1:58:00 2:15:00 | | 3 or 4 years have passed since last time I went up Maple. Good day for riding with cloudy skies. Other Comments | 1300 | 140/160 |
California | 04/09/2017 Sun |  | | 1:59:00 2:16:00 | | I have been kinda sick. Today I felt good enough to go riding. It was a good ride in general but at the end I was aching at each joint. It is FU to get old. It takes longer to heal.
I had to do this posting manual since my Garmin was no detected despite all my efforts. Other Comments | 1500 | 150/160 |
California | 04/01/2017 Sat |  | | 2:58:16 3:11:00 | | Friday morning training ride. Excellent temps today. Super overgrown everywhere. The mustard bushes are 7 feet tall. | 1500 | 152/164 |
California | 03/10/2017 Fri |  | | 2:14:57 2:21:46 |  | Warm morning in the 90s. Wanted to ride the North Ridge Trail but still closed. It has been closed for more than 1 year, maybe 2. I used to ride NR frequently in the past when it was open as one of my training routes. I miss it. | 1101 | 126/158 |
California | 03/02/2017 Thu |  | | 2:00:13 2:37:09 |  | Night training ride. Good temps + tacky trails + good energy level = excellent ride. | 1026 | 140/210 |
California | 02/24/2017 Fri |  | | 4:32:00 5:45:06 |  | 75% night ride. 53F when started around 5:00 pm. 42F towards the end. I ran out of gas completely 3 miles before the end. So by 10pm I was freezing and no energy left. While in Turnbull I did not see a single soul.
It was a good ride though. | 2007 | 121/161 |
California | 02/16/2017 Thu |  | | 3:48:31 4:33:25 |  | Temps in the 50s. A lot of vegetation has grown by the trails to the point of making them disappear in some areas. From the campground had to turn my lights on. | 1872 | 132/228 |
California | 02/13/2017 Mon |  | | 2:06:52 2:36:57 |  | Beautiful day today. Fresh breeze, tacky, and green everywhere. Me,in very bad shape (energy-wise) after so many days out of the saddle because of the rein. | 1049 | 133/164 |
California | 02/02/2017 Thu |  | | 2:07:08 2:41:22 |  | | 1048 | 141/196 |
California | 01/28/2017 Sat |  | | 10:00 10:00 | | Ride from Santiago Canyon Road where I parked my truck to STT Trailhead and back after STT ride. | 100 | 133/150 |
California | 01/27/2017 Fri |  | | 2:25:59 3:14:02 |  | It was a good ride until I got the biggest cramp of my life in my left leg. After 5 minutes still cramped. I was laying inside some bushes entangled with the bike and I could not move at all because the cramp would tighten with any movement. It was already night and 2 riders coming in the opposite direction found me like that and helped me to get up and become functional again. Thank you guys. Other Comments | 1039 | 135/160 |
California | 01/21/2017 Sat |  | | 2:12:02 2:34:16 |  | Last Saturday ride. The only day without rain last week. No rain but some mud caking the tires. Ride was OK. | 985 | 123/160 |
California | 01/06/2017 Fri |  | | 2:21:41 2:36:03 |  | Friday afternoon ride. Temps in the 50s. Ran into ChrisTa in Quail Hill parking lot and rode together. In Coastal Peak the trails were closed (for adverse condition) so we came back the same way we went out. | 1141 | 136/168 |
California | 12/29/2016 Thu |  | | 3:30:18 4:02:55 |  | Temps in the 70s for the entire ride. Good day chosen for this afternoon/evening/night ride. Clean trails with still tacky dirt. All hills are starting to grow green grass. Turned my light on in 4 corners. Scully Trail has a combined ascent of 1000 feet. Felt strong. Excellent ride. | 1876 | 132/162 |
California | 12/25/2016 Sun |  | | 2:09:38 2:25:26 |  | Finally no rain. | 1043 | 137/159 |
California | 12/17/2016 Sat |  | | 5:22:05 7:24:58 |  | Excellent temps the entire day. Rode with Fooly Cully. We missed a turn and ended up in East Fork Palm Canyon where the actual big palm trees are. Fooly did not have lights so he went ahead of me to avoid riding in the dark in Art Smith. I had to turn my lights on about 3 miles before the end. | 1694 | 135/165 |
California | 12/09/2016 Fri |  | | 2:39:33 3:18:18 |  | Friday morning ride. Cold temps with bright Sunlight. All hills are brown. | 1523 | 128/155 |
California | 12/01/2016 Thu |  | | 2:07:01 2:33:36 |  | Late afternoon training ride. Turned my lights on for the return. Very cold. | 1129 | 134/170 |
California | 11/18/2016 Fri |  | | 2:46:53 3:10:03 |  | Friday morning training ride. | 1476 | 132/162 |
California | 11/13/2016 Sun |  | | 1:54:00 2:10:39 |  | Sunday morning training ride. Good early hours temps. | 1131 | 140/234 |
California | 11/11/2016 Fri |  | | 4:33:31 6:40:24 |  | I haven't been here in 2 1/2 years. I forgot how awesome Holy Jim is. Today I was in one of my worst days regarding energy. Riding once a week is not enough for me for keeping a decent riding shape. | 2102 | 136/165 |
California | 11/04/2016 Fri |  | | 2:57:13 3:19:27 |  | Morning training ride. | 1474 | 135/163 |
California | 10/27/2016 Thu |  | | 2:03:59 2:39:48 |  | After sunset training ride. It supposedly was going to rain tonight but it didn't. Still tacky from last rain. | 1042 | 138/165 |
California | 10/23/2016 Sun |  | | 2:29:26 2:45:37 |  | Morning training ride. Good temps with overcast sky. First California ride after my Utah getaway. | 1241 | 132/166 |
Colorado | 10/13/2016 Thu |  | | 1:50:22 2:40:48 |  | My last ride of my MTB vacation. 5 days riding with no mishaps. 10 hours driving from California to Moab was worty. | 926 | 127/150 |
Utah | 10/12/2016 Wed |  | | 3:00:20 3:48:19 |  | My best ride during my MTB vacation in Utah. In the 17 mile route there are about 6 miles of slick rock riding. Highly recommended to all my fellow GL co-riders when vising the area. | 1179 | 129/155 |
Colorado | 10/11/2016 Tue |  | | 2:19:34 3:17:17 |  | Good temps in Fruita today. Horsethief Trail = NICE. Mary's Loop = GREAT. The connection between those two trails called "Horsethief Bench Drop"= HORRIBLE. | 965 | 129/146 |
Utah | 10/10/2016 Mon |  | | 57:43 1:03:23 |  | This posting is just to claim the points for the "going out" ride of the Prospecor Trail which I didn't record in my Garmin when I forgot to start the timer. Get it? | 418 | 135/157 |
Utah | 10/10/2016 Mon |  | | 57:43 1:03:13 |  | This posting is actually the comeback of the Prospector Trail ride. I forgot to start the timer of my Garmin when going out. So I am going to post it again in order to claim my well deserved points. | 418 | 135/157 |
Utah | 10/09/2016 Sun |  | | 3:51:36 5:41:07 |  | First ride of my 5 day MTB vacation in Utah. | 1894 | 138/160 |
California | 10/03/2016 Mon |  | | 2:02:18 2:25:37 |  | Very early training ride just after work. Slow recoup from my shoulder injury. Next week I'll be riding in Park City and Moab despite my condition. For sure I can not afford to fall again. Anybody riding in Utah next week? | 1033 | 133/169 |
California | 09/15/2016 Thu |  | | 2:28:45 4:03:41 |  | Today I planned to ride to Blue Jay & back. I had to change plans after I went down the cliff at the rock garden just before Cocktail Rock. Happened I was clipped and I could not dab, and down I went injuring my left shoulder. The trail has been worked on and there are no deep narrow ruts anymore. Temps were in the high 90s and 100s.

California | 09/12/2016 Mon |  | | 1:59:29 2:20:40 |  | Training ride just after my 12 hour work shift. Started @ 5:30 am. One hour before sunrise. Good ride! | 1034 | 128/162 |

California | 09/05/2016 Mon |  | | 4:55:24 6:00:53 |  | Labor Day ride. Very hot (90F) when started at 3:00 pm. Nice 60s when descending. Had to turn my lights on at the upper gate. | 2383 | 135/163 |
California | 09/02/2016 Fri |  | | 1:57:39 2:19:22 |  | Training ride just before my 12 hour work shift. | 1073 | 137/162 |
California | 08/27/2016 Sat |  | | 5:04:08 7:13:03 |  | Good and tolerable temps. Very pleasant fresh breeze blowing at times. Rode with FOOLY COOLY. Not in my best shape at all. I need to do my training more often. | 2437 | 141/169 |
California | 08/19/2016 Fri |  | | 2:08:50 2:37:57 |  | Night ride. Rode with FOOLY COOLY. We had a big beautiful full moon. Good ride. | 1269 | 144/168 |
California | 08/18/2016 Thu |  | | 2:18:02 3:11:17 |  | I took a coworker to Blackstar (in the night) because he wanted to try MTB. This was his first mountain bike ride ever. I thought he will be done by the end of the flat section. I was wrong. He was able to get to Beeks in 1 hour and 45 mins. Amazing!! | 1156 | 130/155 |
California | 08/04/2016 Thu |  | | 1:53:35 2:17:51 |  | Night ride.70F at 11:00 pm.= acceptable. | 1124 | 135/168 |
California | 07/29/2016 Fri |  | | 2:44:26 3:16:02 |  | Morning ride. 68F when started, 100F at the end. | 1577 | 140/168 |
California | 07/21/2016 Thu |  | | 1:58:00 2:29:58 |  | Night ride. Fresh temps after the sunset. The shortcuts between Schabarum switchbacks are very loose. In the night the depth perception is distorted and those shortcuts are very steep. So I skipped the steepest which is the second to the last. Got back to the car by 10:30pm Good night ride. | 1150 | 136/168 |
California | 07/15/2016 Fri |  | | 4:01:45 4:39:58 |  | Actual night ride. Started at 8:00 pm, got back home at 1:40 am. Temps: 71F at Sierra Peak and Doppler Ball. The almost full moon gave me enough light to climb the whole thing without using the bike lights. Coal Canyon Road is still smooth like a (dirt) freeway. Good night ride. | 2412 | 136/163 |
California | 07/08/2016 Fri |  | | 4:00:52 6:47:49 |  | Very hot day and very little breeze. The highest temp I saw was 113F. The trail besides steep was very loose with deep ruts. Had no other alternative than riding inside them. I ran out of water by the creek and a major HAB was waiting for me. Another minus, there was no shade after the creek, so, no shade, no breeze, no water, 113F and hiking the bike 1.3 miles. I thought I was going to collapse. | 2015 | 143/169 |

California | 06/25/2016 Sat |  | | 2:52:51 3:29:59 |  | Planned to ride Smashface Trail today but I started too late or I was too slow or both. When I got to Hagador Peak was already 8:30 pm. Way too late to start the 5.5 mile Smashface descent. So, I just came back. I didn't feel like smashing my face in the dark. In my comeback I rode all those fun single tracks along Blackstar. | 1620 | 136/164 |

California | 06/03/2016 Fri |  | | 2:28:42 4:44:06 |  | Again choosing to ride in Big Bear in a Orange County very hot day. Indubitable much colder than OC but still a warm ride. Felt the lower percentage of Oxygen in the air at 7,000 feet altitude. Grays Trail and Hanna Trail are always a very enjoyable ride. And for those riders who have never ridden the Grays Peak Trail I uploaded a video of the descent in YouTube called Grays Peak Trail Descent or https://youtu.be/5M72fYcz01Y | 1152 | 139/162 |
California | 05/29/2016 Sun |  | | 2:31:05 2:45:55 |  | In my way back I missed the Easy Street trail head, so I went back via Diemer and South Ridge. Great weather, fully cloudy and low temps.

California | 05/08/2016 Sun |  | | 4:23:49 5:55:46 |  | Temps were excellent today. I was not in my best shape. (too many days out of the saddle) Had to comeback without completing the planned loop because bicycles are forbidden on Backbone after 3 or so miles from the trail head in Yerba Buena | 2190 | 134/171 |
