Fri |  | | | | The dog like this more than I do. | | |
| California | 07/16/2009
Thu | | | | | Hot ride with kgrecian. GPS still not detected by GL. I've tried everything. Computer sees it, TC sees it. GL doesn't. HELP??? | | |
| California | 07/16/2009
Thu | | | 38:00
38:00 | | The dog is kicking my ass. 160lbs of South African Boerboel and he looks frustrated waiting for me on the hills. These Boerboels are great dogs. | | |
| California | 07/16/2009
Thu | | | 1:11:28
1:21:14 |  | Just my neighbor kgrecian and I losening up from a big ride yesterday. | 496 | |
| California | 07/15/2009
Wed | | | | | No GPS. It wont "communicate with device". This is the closest ride the what kgrecian and I did today. Unfortunately, we lose a lot of points issing the climb out. | | |
| California | 07/13/2009
Mon | | | | | | | |
| California | 07/12/2009
Sun | | | | | Quick ride with the dog. Hot already at 10:00am | | |
| California | 07/11/2009
Sat | | | | | slow ride with kGrecian and a beginner. | | |
| California | 07/05/2009
Sun | | | | | Took the dog for a run. We crossed paths and I lost. Major road rash! | | |
| California | 07/03/2009
Fri | | | | | kgrecian and I met some MTBers from his wife's work. We wanted more than down and back on the Cyn so we went up and over. met them at the beach. Saw the parrots. | | |
| California | 05/03/2009
Sun | | | 1:26:00
1:26:00 | | Ran into a whole pack of singlespeeders. Must have been some type of snootie club. | | |
| California | 04/24/2009
Fri | | | | | Took the dog out to force myself to go easy. Knees are stiff, but want to ride Hectic Sullivan with kgrecian this afternoon. | | |
| California | 04/23/2009
Thu | | | 28:00
30:56 | | Shameless route harvesting. 13 pts is generous for this ride. | | |
| California | 04/23/2009
Thu | | | 1:01:00
1:06:53 | | Better ride than I expected. The jumps make it worth doing. Thank Franco for showing me the way. | | |
| California | 04/22/2009
Wed | | | 42:01
42:01 | | Easy recovery ride, except for the last leg-burning climb. | | |
| California | 04/21/2009
Tue | | | 1:29:00
1:54:10 | | On the recommendation of others, I rode this route backward (counterclockwise). I think it is better that way. This is a very technical ride, more for Joplin junkies. Lot’s of hike-a-bike stream crossings. Easy to find the route without GPS. Not worth a trip up, it's almost half asphalt, but a good one if you’re already in Santa Barbara | | |
| California | 04/20/2009
Mon | | | 1:16:00
1:16:00 | | Waited until 4:00, but it never did cool down. It's still 97 degrees at 5:35. | | |
| California | 04/19/2009
Sun | | | 1:14:09
1:14:09 | | Just an easy ride on the neighborhood bridal paths, then up Box Canyon to add elevation. | | |
| California | 04/14/2009
Tue | | | 1:43:00
1:43:00 | | A must do ride. More like SE Utah than CA. Starts out like mid-San Juan Trail then transforms. You'll swear your on Gemini bridges or Porcupine Rim. I love this rude. | | |
| California | 03/18/2009
Wed | | | 1:09:51
1:24:51 | | Broken chain. GPS is acting whacky. | | |
| California | 03/18/2009
Wed | | | 20:06
20:06 | | GPS is mysteriously auto pause, then resume, then "lost signal" then restarting. ???? | | |
| California | 03/17/2009
Tue | | | 1:55:00
1:55:00 | | I'd ridden this before, but forgot how long the North Ridge climb is. Probably because I was in better shape then. Amazing how quickly its growing back. It's VERY green already. | | |
| California | 03/15/2009
Sun | | | 2:38:00
2:52:00 | | This is my favorite route through Wildwood. Minimizes the street and maximizes the singletrack. | | |
| California | 03/14/2009
Sat | | | 2:11:00
2:11:00 | | Lots of hikers today | | |
| California | 03/13/2009
Fri | | | 1:21:00
1:21:00 | | Beautiful weather! Didn't see another sole. | | |
| California | 02/21/2009
Sat | | | 1:49:00
1:49:00 | | Quickly becoming my favorite VC ride. | | |
| California | 02/18/2009
Wed | | | 1:10:00
1:10:00 | | Definitely the Ventura Co rain ride, and no secret, about 20 guys out already. Holds up GREAT to the rain. Almost zero mud. Only a 10 ft patch about 100 yards above Hummingbird. Took the dog. Had to ride down at his pace, but still fun. | | |
| California | 02/14/2009
Sat | | | | | Too impatient...Still muddy, sticky, and slow. Total snowball tire ride. | | |
| California | 02/04/2009
Wed | | | 1:58:00
2:20:57 | | Nice ride with kgrecian | | |
| California | 02/03/2009
Tue | | | 1:23:00
1:23:00 | | Hard to believe it out my front door. | | |
| California | 01/31/2009
Sat | | | 2:28:00
2:28:00 | | Rode it backwards from Kanan. There was an oganized trail maintenence crew working. Must have been 40 people working over 1/2 mile. | | |
| California | 01/29/2009
Thu | | | 1:33:00
1:33:00 | | Windy! | | |

| California | 01/14/2009
Wed | | | 1:03:00
1:19:17 | | First ride with Cranx, bfranco, and JeffK in almost two years. Sorry for holding everybody up. I miss Old Camp and the Luge. | | |
| California | 01/12/2009
Mon | | | 1:46:00
2:11:00 | | Only my rookie neighbor's second ride. I think he's ready to kill me after this one. He stopped believing the "this is the last hill, I swear" BS about halfway through, but he kept the whinning to a minimum...Right Kevin? | | |
| California | 01/10/2009
Sat | | | 2:30:00
2:30:00 | | Ugh, A little under the weather. | | |
| California | 01/07/2009
Wed | | | 1:15:02
1:33:02 | | Easy ride with a nieghbor just starting to ride. | | |
| California | 01/05/2009
Mon | | | 2:38:00
2:38:00 | | Trying to get a sustained aerobic ride out of this hilly area is tough. This is as close to it as possible. Man do I miss Blackstar, Maple Springs, and Harding. | | |
| California | 01/04/2009
Sun | | | 1:58:00
1:58:00 | | This is a great ride. Hiked Hummingbird this morning with my wife. Found this guys route on GL and decided to ride it. Hummingbird is technical, with great rock formations. 100% ridable. | | |
| California | 01/02/2009
Fri | | | 1:44:00
1:44:00 | | Trying to keep the 2009 New Year resolution to ride more and get back in race condition....Long way to go. | | |
| California | 04/15/2008
Tue | | | | | Where did my motivation go? First ride in a couple months. | | |
| California | 12/05/2007
Wed |  | | 2:02:32
2:02:32 | | Great 2 hour loop. Mulholland HWY was deserted. Only two cars and a couple rice rockets went by me. This portion of PCH has a wide bike lane. | | |
| California | 11/17/2007
Sat | | | 3:10:15
3:55:58 | | Long ride in Sycamore today with Sark. Thanks for making the trip up Sark. | | |
| California | 11/15/2007
Thu | | | 1:24:00
1:24:00 | | Hot! When will fall get here? | | |
| California | 10/31/2007
Wed | | | | | Great ride with JeffK. Thanks for drivin up from the OC jeff. | | |
| California | 10/31/2007
Wed | | | | | A ride back up the canyon to the cars parked at Sitiwa with JeffK after riding Big Sycamore. | | |
| California | 10/19/2007
Fri | | | | | Knee is felling better after a full months rest. I hope it hold up. | | |
| California | 09/15/2007
Sat | | | | | Fat, out of shape, and my knee hurts. I'll never be a Pacman | | |
| California | 09/11/2007
Tue | | | | | First ride back in a few weeks. Ack, I'm out of shape already | | |
| California | 08/18/2007
Sat | | | 2:35:17
3:01:08 | | Hell Hill at 1:30 on one of the hottest days of the year...What were we thinking. Still a great ride and cooler than anywhere else. | | |
| California | 08/18/2007
Sat | | | 1:18:19
1:38:32 | | Great morning ride with mark1890 and Mark Jr. then off to breakfast at Malibu Inn before heading to Sycamore Cyn. thanks for driving up Marks! | | |
| California | 08/14/2007
Tue | | | 1:32:28
1:32:28 | | #%! Must have bumped the stop button, got a straight line on the route. | | |
| California | 08/10/2007
Fri | | | 1:33:21
1:38:51 | | It's certainly not the Santa Monicas, but it's still a fun way to kill time while waiting for traffic to die down. | | |
| California | 08/09/2007
Thu | | | 3:22:39
5:47:39 | | Rode Sycamore then headed down to Leo Carrillo to have lunch with some old friends. Two beers and a 30 mph headwind don't mix! | | |
| California | 08/05/2007
Sun | | | 1:39:00
1:39:00 | | Finally met someone in the new neighborhood that rides MTB's instead of horses. We rode a pretty slow pace. I didn't want to scare him off. | | |
| California | 08/04/2007
Sat | | | 1:27:26
1:27:26 | | This is a boring ride, but I had to be in Corona at 10:00 for business, so why not. Not as hot as I thought. | | |
| California | 08/01/2007
Wed | | | 2:49:00
2:49:00 | | Great ride! Thanks xhuskr and shrek for coming up and motivating me. Pacman is a STUD. He smoked me to the top of Guadalasco. | | |
| California | 07/26/2007
Thu | | | 1:22:00
1:39:38 | | Saw the Pacman's Pacvan in the parking lot. Passed him on my way down while he was heading up. Ran into him again on his second loop, had a nice chat. | | |
| California | 07/25/2007
Wed | | | 1:49:26
1:54:38 | | Met some guys on the trail that work at the corporate offices for Giant Bicycles. | | |
| California | 07/24/2007
Tue | | | 1:19:53
1:19:53 | | A quick ride to regain my sanity after playing golf. I should have done a long ride and skipped the golf altogether. Golf sucks! | | |
| California | 07/23/2007
Mon | | | 2:35:16
2:43:27 | | HUMID! Even a few sprinkles. | | |
| California | 07/21/2007

| California | 07/18/2007
Wed | | | 3:24:00
3:48:14 | | That's the last time I eat a Diablo Grande burrito ten minutes before the ride...BARF! Thanks mark1890 for meeting me in the heat of the day for this one. Sorry I slowed you up losing my lunch. All and all a good day for the team. | | |
| California | 07/17/2007
Tue | | | 1:27:00
1:36:46 | | Horses are tearing up the bridel paths! I wonder if the 4 MTBers in my community lobbied against the 300 horse owners if we could get the horses banned from the bridel paths? | | |
| California | 07/13/2007
Fri | | | 1:21:00
1:21:00 | | First ride back on the rested knee. So far so good. | | |
| California | 07/03/2007
Tue | | | 2:06:54
2:06:54 | | Ah Oh! Knee pain! I think I tore my patellar tendon : ( | | |
| California | 07/02/2007
Mon | | | 1:21:56
1:21:56 | | As if riding in 103 temp isn't insult enough, I get back to the car to find my window SMASHED and my bike bag, shorts, and sunglasses stolen! I get the last laugh. They left a $500 Cartier pen in the consol : ) | | |
| California | 07/01/2007

10:02:42 | | Fun ride. Get's most of the climbing out of the way early. | | |
| California | 06/20/2007
Wed | | | 13:47
13:47 | | Route Stealing again. 1 of 2 laps today. | | |

Wed | | | 1:58:05
2:04:05 | | Who was the guy who decided to start this ride going UP meadows? It sure is fun to go down though. | | |
| California | 06/20/2007
Wed | | | 39:38
41:38 | | Quick warm up before Aliso Tour | | |
| California | 06/20/2007
Wed | | | 51:24
51:24 | | Just Stealing a ride form the Brown team. The heat really got to me. | | |
| California | 06/18/2007
Mon | | | 1:26:00
1:26:00 | | DBL century in Mailbu Saturday so I need the saddle time, but blah, just couldn't get into it. Yesterday's elevation ride fried me. Rest day tomorrow. | | |
| California | 06/17/2007
Sun | | | 2:07:21
3:34:29 | | Nice casual Sunday ride. Pretty good turn-out for the scheduled ride. Lot's of breaks. | | |
| California | 06/17/2007
Sun | | | 1:42:00
1:51:46 | | At 9500' asl, it may be the highest I've ever peddled (wheez-gasp-wheez). Started at bottom of San Antonio Falls Trail. Ended at the very top of the ski resort. | | |
| California | 06/15/2007
Fri | | | 1:19:21
1:19:21 | | Pushed hard, got a late start. Still finished in the dark. | | |
| California | 06/09/2007
Sat | | | 4:26:17
5:24:02 | | Left Ventura Co at 4:00am. Got to the Blackstar gate at 7:15, one hour behind the Traverse riders. I didn't catch the last place guy until right at 4 Corners. They were all strong riders. | | |
| California | 06/08/2007
Fri | | | 1:18:00
1:18:00 | | Beautiful day. A couple cuties stopped me to ask for directions to the waterfall. | | |
| California | 06/06/2007
Wed | | | 59:51
1:04:51 | | First lap today. This place gets CROWDED. | | |
| California | 06/06/2007
Wed | | | 1:28:31
1:32:56 | | I made a couple wrong turns. Decided to just try a few new trails. | | |
| California | 06/03/2007
Sun | | | 2:45:30
3:02:30 | | Becuase of Geoladders, I rode with mark1890 today. He's a childhood friend I hadn't seen in 30 years. Great seeing you again mark, and meeting your son and friend Chris. | | |
| California | 06/02/2007
Sat | | | 1:24:00
1:24:00 | | As a ride-from-home, I liked Anaheim Hills-Weir Cyn much better, but Wildwood is growing on me. | | |
| California | 06/01/2007
Fri | | | | | Disaster! Set out to do Sullivan-Hectic. Parked and found I left my F@*#ing bike bag in the kitchen : ( …No helmet, no Camelbak, socks, gloves, glasses, iPod, NOTHING! Thank God I left my shoes in the car from yesterday. Didn’t want to chance Hectic with no helmet or gloves, so just rode up and down the Ridge. | | |
| California | 05/31/2007
Thu | | | 57:52
58:52 | | I love Sullivan. Lot's of airtime oppertunities. Just a simple and relaxing semi-singletrack decent. | | |
| California | 05/31/2007
Thu | | | 57:09
1:14:53 | | My second trip down Sullivan today. Flatted just down from the top. The first push up Sullivan Ridge slowed me down a little on this trip. | | |
| California | 05/31/2007
Thu | | | 24:41
27:43 | | The "Whoops" are fun. 15% are great doubles and gaps. The other 85% are monotonous speed bumps. | | |
| California | 05/30/2007
Wed | | | 1:27:43
1:30:00 | | Just a quick, but fun ride from home. | | |
| California | 05/29/2007
Tue | | | 2:19:04
2:28:10 | | Tried to utilize as much Big Sycamore singletrack as possible between Guadalasco and Backbone | | |
| California | 05/27/2007
Sun | | | 2:36:10
2:46:03 | | Riding Big Sycamore makes me stop missing the OC rides. | | |
| California | 05/24/2007
Thu | | | 3:34:40
3:55:48 | | Tried to cover as much of Wildwood as possible. Some hike-a-bike. Santa Rosa Trail is great singletrak. | | |
| California | 05/22/2007
Tue | | | 1:29:00
1:38:31 | | Sign says "TRASK SCOUT RESERVATION"...My first ride here and they already named it after me : ) Posted "CLOSED TUE DUE TO POLICE ACTIVITY" Spoke to a rider coming down. He said ignore it. I did, and no problems. All gates were open. | | |
| California | 05/21/2007
Mon | | | 2:37:00
2:37:00 | | More pavement than I like, but still a fun ride from my house. I add a couple hundred verticle feet coming in from Box Cyn. | | |
| California | 05/21/2007
Mon | | | 1:17:00
1:28:40 | | Finally got my GPS software working so I tracked my attempt to find another way up to Wildwood from Santa Rosa Valley, no luck | | |
| California | 05/16/2007
Wed | | | | | Rode with franco today. More GPS problems, about to bag it. Lots of jumps and fun on the way down. | | |
| California | 05/14/2007
Mon | | | | | I rode to this loop from my house on Santa Rosa Valley side, but I think I covered the whole ride plus a few miles from the north. Wildwood is not the best in the area, but as a "ride from home ride" It'll do just fine. | | |
| California | 04/28/2007
Sat | | | 2:09:00
2:09:00 | | Great addition to Bulldog-Mesa. Lots of traffic...hikers, bikers, horses, and hippies. I almost killed two guys who stepped out of the bushes. Who knows what they were doing in the bushes. | | |
| California | 04/28/2007
Sat | | | | | No time recorded. I was feeling strong so I spliced in the short Backbone route. Great day! | | |
| California | 04/26/2007
Thu | | | 2:26:00
2:40:00 | | Late start, flatted, rode the last mile in pitch dark. Some guy offered to ride out behind me, that was cool. | | |
| Utah | 04/24/2007
Tue | | | 3:00:00
3:00:00 | | Great ride with JeffK. I LOVE this trail! There is nothing like this anywhere but Moab. We took our time and enjoyed the scenery. | | |
| Utah | 04/24/2007
Tue | | | 2:09:00
2:09:00 | | This ride disapointed me. It was a good ride, but not worth driving 750 miles for. I wish I'd done Slickrock Trail twice instead. | | |
| Utah | 04/23/2007
Mon | | | 3:00:00
3:00:00 | | Great ride, lots of ledges and drops. The bottom gets more interesting. Be prepared for a LONG ride back to town or the trailhead. Coyote Tours has a shuttle for $10. | | |
| Utah | 04/21/2007
Sat | | | 1:52:15
1:52:15 | | A good beginner Moab ride. The long slickrock section is bumpy and not technical. The dinasour footprints are cool | | |
| California | 03/05/2007
Mon | | | 1:43:00
1:43:00 | | Just another Meritage Partners, Inc. meeting with cranx and franco that turned into a MTB ride. Gotta love a company with it's priorities straight! | | |
| California | 02/24/2007
Sat | | | 4:11:00
4:11:00 | | Great easy paced ride with BriggM and JohnSark. Needed rode miles for next week's Death Valley Century. | | |
| California | 02/20/2007
Tue | | | 3:16:03
3:33:56 | | Did just about everything available from the Lang Ranch side, including Dead Cow, Simi Peak, and some single track on the Simi Valley side. | | |
| California | 02/17/2007
Sat | | | 2:23:22
2:23:22 | | The combo of heat and yesterday's long ride really slowed me up. I would have walked to China Flats if I thought no one would see me. | | |
| California | 02/16/2007
Fri | | | 2:06:11
2:10:27 | | A beautiful 79 degree day. I was hoping to break 2 hours, but traffic on the singletracks slowed me down a little. | | |
| California | 02/16/2007
Fri | | | 31:59
31:59 | | To Big Sycamore Route. Ran into Pacman on the way down, doing his mega-miles thing. | | |
| California | 02/16/2007
Fri | | | 51:21
51:21 | | The cruise back from the Big Sycamore Route. | | |
| California | 02/15/2007
Thu | | | 1:14:46
2:16:46 | | Great turn out, with six riders. Met upchuck and several from the No Ranch Bike Club. Mechanical problems forced us to cut the ride a little short. Still a great ride. | | |
| California | 02/14/2007
Wed | | | 2:09:40
2:17:40 | | Dead Cow is a fun trail. It's steep and very technical, but ridable for advanced II. | | |
| California | 02/11/2007
Sun | | | 2:14:21
2:25:41 | | Just exploring around. This area handles the rain well. 99.9% singletrack ride. | | |
| California | 02/10/2007
Sat | | | | | My first ride with the North Ranch MTB Club. We did a very simular ride to this, covered most of the trails. | | |
| California | 01/23/2007
Tue | | | 1:17:00
1:24:22 | | Tried to utilize as much singletrack as possible. Lost several hundred ft of climbing by forgeting to start my timer. | | |
| California | 01/23/2007
Tue | | | 28:00
28:00 | | Just the end my my ride after I realized I hadn't restarted my timer. | | |
| California | 01/22/2007
Mon | | | 2:11:00
2:11:00 | | VERY windy at the top, but calm in the canyon. GPS didn't hold a charge???? Went dead within 30 seconds of turning it on. | | |
| California | 01/20/2007
Sat | | | 1:03:03
1:03:03 | | Stopped the GPS timer on the Caballero ride at the top of Sullivan and bombed back down...Couldn't resist the drops and jumps I saw on the climb up. Climbed Westride and back to the top of Sullivan to restart the timer. One of my best MTB days ever. | | |
| California | 01/20/2007
Sat | | | 2:17:15
2:17:15 | | My favorite Santa Monica MTN ride so far. Splice in Sullivan-Westridge and you get MTB bliss! Sorry guys for bailing on the group ride. To get in Sullivan-Westridge by 1:30, I had to make up some time. | | |
| California | 01/19/2007
Fri | | | 2:21:18
2:21:18 | | Thanks for the tour Pacman! This area is a carbon copy of Chino Hills State Park. | | |
| California | 01/15/2007
Mon | | | | | Intersting day. Franco made a wrong turn and almost doubled his Bulldog climb. Cranx's bottom bracket backed out 1/2 mile into the Backbone Trail requiring a tow down Las Virgenes with twine, and the new GL guy Mikitata showed up in Surf shorts, a tee shirt, and tennis shoes, yet rode like a NORBA Sport-Class race. A perfect day : ) | | |
| California | 01/13/2007
Sat | | | 2:28:00
2:47:00 | | A nice sunny day...How come I can't feel my feet!!! Brrrrr. Hey Dave, thanks for suffering through with me. | | |
| California | 01/12/2007
Fri | | | 2:16:09
2:16:09 | | This is the most direct route from Lang to Chesebro. Mostly relaxed grades. | | |
| California | 01/10/2007
Wed | | | 2:20:51
2:48:51 | | EXCELLENT RIDE! I actually prefer this ride to SART. We had some snow and ice to ride through. granny ring looked like a three legged figure skater when he first hit it. | | |
| California | 01/10/2007
Wed | | | 1:40:00
1:40:00 | | I agree with Peter. The ride up was a little boring, but the El Prieto singletrack makes it all worth while. Thanks for driving up Granny. | | |
| California | 01/09/2007
Tue | | | | | Easy mid-day ride with a realtor who showed me a house this morning. There's more to Chesebro than up the middle, huh Dave? LOL sorry | | |
| California | 01/07/2007
Sun | | | 2:26:47
2:54:28 | | WAY too many hikers to safely push a best time. It's a better weekday ride for sure. The extra 30 points from Kanan to Encinal is very generous. It only adds 25 minutes to the Backbone-Kanan ride. | | |
| California | 01/06/2007
Sat | | | 1:32:48
1:57:31 | | Drove down to ride with JeffK and johnsark. Witnessed JeffK take a serious OTB on the ledges at the top of Chutes. He's a tough 54 year-old SOB. Two pints of blood on the trail, a forearm the size of a watermelon, and he still finished the ride! | | |
| California | 01/06/2007
Sat | | | 2:45:48
2:45:48 | | Just adding some miles to Anaheim-Weir to justify the 75 mile trip down. | | |
| California | 01/05/2007
Fri | | | | | *$#! GPS lost the route and recorded two partial segments again. I think I liked being a technophobe. | | |
| California | 01/04/2007
Thu | | | 2:47:29
3:19:12 | | There! Now that makes a REAL ride out of the Cheese. I'll take pictures and create the route when I finish explorng the singletrack options. | | |
| California | 01/02/2007
Tue | | | | | I gotta find that USP connector to my EDGE. I'm adding several miles to this ride by starting at the Chumash Museum. I better dive back into the moving boxes : ( | | |
| California | 12/30/2006
Sat | | | 2:58:00
3:12:00 | | Found EDGE USP Connector. Just posting GPS Data and deleting old posting. | | 1/125 |
| California | 12/30/2006
Sat | | | 2:33:00
2:55:00 | | Monotonous after the first leg. Glad when it was over. | | |
| California | 12/28/2006
Thu | | | 1:24:47
1:24:47 | | Posting from Kinkos. My entire life is in moving boxes. Riding was more important than unpacking. How sad is that? | | |
| California | 12/23/2006
Sat | | | 3:21:00
3:47:00 | | Excellent ride with Geo riders brigmills and johnsark. Almost blown off the top of HJ by extreme winds. Calm as can be on Trabuco though. Still learning GPS. Only got 1/2 the route??? | | |
| California | 12/21/2006
Thu | | | 1:57:46
2:10:56 | | WOW! I won't complain about the lack of sustained climbing in the Santa Monica MTNs anymore. The slickrock section is fun. I could do without Las Virgines though. | | |
| California | 12/19/2006
Tue | | | | | Nice ride with BreakHeart, Actrek5500, and JERRY. We went up to the Blue Jay Parking lot for good measure, so no accurate time. | | |
| California | 12/18/2006
Mon | | | 2:55:00
2:55:00 | | A ride with Granny ring. My GPS lost this route at the start of the loop portion. Took several minutes of backtracking up a nasty climb in an attempt to recapture the route...but no luck. | | |
| California | 12/16/2006
Sat | | | | | | | |
| California | 12/16/2006
Sat | | | | | Started out with johnsark, jeffK, and newguy. Jeff, Sark, and I turned around at the top. Newguy finished up the ride with the Velo Team. | | |
| California | 12/15/2006
Fri | | | 1:19:02
1:36:17 | | Jeffk and I rode and routed this from the North West Entrance of Santiago Oaks. | | |
| California | 12/14/2006
Thu | | | 2:48:00
3:13:41 | | Brisk pace ride with scottv. Lots of new trail work on the Motorway. Watch for the speedbumps! | | |
| California | 12/11/2006
Mon | | | 2:37:00
2:37:00 | | I really love this ride. Next time I'm going to drop down that single track that switchbacks down to the coast on the north side of the ridge above Big Sycamore park. | | |
| California | 12/10/2006
Sun | | | 1:31:00
1:31:00 | | It's official. As of December 22 this ride will replace Santiago Oaks as my ride-from-home GL Route. Hate to move, but it could be worse. | | |
| California | 12/09/2006
Sat | | | 1:34:00
1:34:00 | | Noon ride with new GL rider johnsark. Said hello to some familiar GL faces at the top of "3B"'s. | | |
| California | 12/08/2006
Fri | | | | | I gotta get an Edge. This area is good for 4 or 5 different routes. Adding King James Trail, Simi Peak, and the trails to the NE, gives you 22 miles with very little back tracking. | | |
| California | 12/06/2006
Wed | | | 1:58:00
1:58:00 | | Warmed up fast today. Thanks Chris, Pete, and Brian for coming. | | |
| California | 12/05/2006
Tue | | | 2:24:00
2:24:00 | | Excellent ride! 100% singletrack and easy to follow without a GPS. Not one soul between Coral and Kanan, but PACKED with hikers from Kanan to Encinal. Some didn't appriciate bikers : ( | | |
| California | 12/04/2006
Mon | | | 1:28:00
1:28:00 | | This is a VERY heavily riden area, even more than Whiting and Santiago Oaks. | | |
| California | 12/01/2006
Fri | | | 2:26:00
2:26:00 | | Nice patchwork of trails through So County, with Scott and Pete. 40 degrees when we started. 70 degrees when we finished. | | |
| California | 11/29/2006
Wed | | | 2:10:00
2:10:00 | | Brrrr! Coldest start of the year by far...The ground was covered in frost! Thanks Granny Ring for picking me up a brain beenie. | | |
| California | 11/28/2006
Tue | | | 1:51:00
1:51:00 | | First night ride in 7 years! It was great fun, but my toes are still frozen. | | |
| California | 11/25/2006
Sat | | | | | Thanks to the Path Bike Shop for giving JeffK the loaner bike. We salvaged the day with this ride. | | |
| California | 11/25/2006
Sat | | | | | Had to bail on the Holy Jim ride after JeffK's Ellsworth Truth self destructed at the creek crossings..Sprinted back down to get the car. | | |
| California | 11/21/2006
Tue | | | 32:00
32:00 | | Second Whiting trip of the morning for Pete and me. We lost Jerry to a 2nd Luge run. | | |
| California | 11/21/2006
Tue | | | 1:31:00
1:31:00 | | Another great ride with Pete. met up with JERRY on the way up. | | |
| California | 11/20/2006
Mon | | | 1:01:00
1:01:00 | | What was I thinking??? OTB Twice! I know people clean Waterfall, but I'd like to see it. | | |
| California | 11/19/2006
Sun | | | | | No takers on the MS-MTY ride this morning, so I decided to do some new route harvesting with JeffK. | | |
| California | 11/19/2006
Sun | | | | | No takers on the MS-MTY ride this morning, so I decided to do some new route harvesting with JeffK. | | |
| California | 11/18/2006
Sat | | | | | Another evening ride with JeffK, the undisputed “King of Santiago Oaks”. | | |
| California | 11/17/2006
Fri | | | | | Bonk! I’m definitely catching something. No energy...walked most of the back loop to Chutes connector and somebody climbed past me...Humiliating . I think I'm out for a few days. | | |
| California | 11/16/2006
Thu | | | 1:11:00
1:11:00 | | Warm up ride before hooking up with Thinkfast and Granny ring on the Dual Loop. | | |
| California | 11/16/2006
Thu | | | 1:50:00
1:50:00 | | I almost backed out at the last minute. I was really tired after the Redtail-Rattlesnake loop. Peer pressure is a powerful thing. | | |
| California | 11/10/2006
Fri | | | 3:16:00
3:16:00 | | Great ride!!! Perfect weather. Ocrider smoked Pete and me on the climb but, being beaten by a 16 year-old doesn’t feel so bad. | | |
| California | 11/08/2006
Wed | | | 1:47:00
1:47:00 | | A new best time for me too! Excellent ride with granny ring and Gary S. There's no rest with these guys. | | |
| California | 11/06/2006
Mon | | | 42:03
42:03 | | Second lap with Pete (granny ring). | | |
| California | 11/06/2006
Mon | | | 52:24
52:24 | | First of two laps today with Granny ring today. He's another STRONG GL rider. Pete, it was nice to meet you. I'll ride with you anytime! | | |
| California | 11/04/2006
Sat | | | 4:49:00
4:49:00 | | Great ride with JeffK and Sark. Hooked up with Winger and the MTWY-MTWY group going down the Motorway, rode up MS with them as well. | | |
| California | 11/03/2006
Fri | | | 1:33:00
1:33:00 | | OC guys, this is worth driving up for, but BRING THE "Turn-By-Turn" DIRECTIONS! This route just scratches the surface of this area. The two technical sections in the sulfur area get your attention. Love the "CYCLISTS DISMOUNT" sign...Yeah right! | | |
| California | 11/03/2006
Fri | | | | | Second time up the canyon. Met a guy at the bottom who took me on a different variation that added 6 miles. We went past the top of this loop to a "King James Trail", a technical down and up (a lot like Aliso's Rock-It). Kept heading north to Simi Peak and down to some big homes in a gated area. Then back up a fire road to China Flats and down. Make the trip! | | |
| California | 11/02/2006
Thu | | | | | Oh Yeah!!! Moving to Westlake Village might not be so bad after all. Tim Fitzgerald, a great realtor took me on this ride from the Newbury Park side. Some great double and single track on the north side too. Guadalasca is a lot of fun. So excited, forgot to set computer. Riding Chesebro in the morning! | | |
| California | 11/01/2006
Wed | | | | | Moving to Westlake Village, I'm sure going to miss this ride. | | |
| California | 10/21/2006
Sat | | | 2:56:00
2:56:00 | | Rode with John Sark, a new Geoladders member. We had a great ride. | | |
| California | 10/18/2006
Wed | | | | | Nice ride with JeffK | | |
| California | 10/14/2006
Sat | | | 1:38:00
1:38:00 | | Not one drop of rain the whole ride! There is a few muddy patches that snowballed my tires, but the trail is very ridable. So much for the big rain storm. | | |
| California | 10/13/2006
Fri | | | | | Thanks Cranx for making the trek to ride with me. | | |
| California | 10/12/2006
Thu | | | 1:36:00
1:36:00 | | BONK! I may need to take a day off. | | |
| California | 10/10/2006
Tue | | | 4:14:00
4:26:00 | | Coal must have been scraped since Steeleboat did the ride in Sep. Besides the wash at the very bottom, there is only one annoying soft area (at mi 3.1 going up). Two sets of fresh morning bike tracks, but never saw the riders??? They must have dropped into the Irvine Property. | | |
| California | 10/08/2006
Sun | | | | | Ran into Brakeheart on the back loop. Love the cooler weather. | | |
| California | 10/07/2006
Sat | | | 2:52:00
2:52:00 | | I'll be glad when they close the gate at Silverado. Every wannabe Baja racer had thier pick-up truck on MS today. | | |
| California | 10/06/2006
Fri | | | 2:01:00
2:01:00 | | I think JeffK took performance enhancers this morning. He made me work on the uphill. | | |
| California | 10/05/2006
Thu | | | 49:00
49:00 | | The cooler weather brought a lot of riders out early. | | |
| California | 10/04/2006
Wed | | | 1:35:00
1:35:00 | | Closing the gap on my old "best time". | | |
| California | 10/04/2006
Wed | | | 1:25:50
1:25:50 | | I started on the Blackstar side. Felt strong enough at the top to add the Skyline route, I sure like the Blackstar side better. | | |
| California | 10/02/2006
Mon | | | | | | | |
| California | 10/01/2006
Sun | | | | | A Sunday ride with the wife. | | |
| California | 09/30/2006
Sat | | | 3:13:00
3:42:00 | | Wow! I over estimated my technical skills. Joplin humbled me. I stepped out on several sections. TRB passed me at the top of harding like I was standing still! | | |
| California | 09/29/2006
Fri | | | | | Mid-day ride...A lotter hotter than I was anticipating. | | |
| California | 09/28/2006
Thu | | | 1:31:32
1:31:32 | | Santiago Oaks and Weir Canyon literaly out my back door, and all to myself this morning...The iPod cranking Jimi Hendrix...I've died and gone to Heaven. | | |
| California | 09/28/2006
Thu | | | 31:12
31:12 | | Nice add-on to a Anaheim Hills-Weir Canyon ride. I still think Big Red is easier than either of the first 2 "B"'s. | | |
| California | 09/27/2006
Wed | | | 1:02:00
1:02:00 | | Pushed myself tonight. Waterfall is a heck of a lot easier to do on the Epiphany than it was on the Truth. | | |
| California | 09/26/2006
Tue | | | | | | | |
| California | 09/25/2006
Mon | | | | | Nice evening ride with JeffK "King of the Oaks" | | |
| California | 09/23/2006
Sat | | | 2:54:00
4:30:00 | | I scheduled this ride to fill an empty 4th seat. We ended up with 8 guys! Thanks everyone for coming along. Great group, most with sub-3 hour ride times. | | |
| California | 09/21/2006
Thu | | | | | Six months of sporadic riding has my ride time WAY up. Time was too embarassing to post. | | |
| California | 09/19/2006
Tue | | | 1:49:00
1:49:00 | | Feels great to be getting back in shape! At least four other riders in the canyon this morning. | | |
| California | 09/18/2006
Mon | | | | | | | |
| California | 09/02/2006
Sat | | | 3:14:00
| | | | |
| California | 08/05/2006
Sat | | | | | We rode from Lakeview to HB Pier. That added about 14 miles to the ride, so no acurate ride time. | | |
| California | 08/04/2006
Fri | | | 3:40:00
4:57:00 | | Great day! Thanks Cranx and Koke for giving me the motivation to push a little harder up Harding. | | 250/900 |
| California | 07/29/2006
Sat | | | 3:47:00
4:10:00 | | Great ride! | | |
| California | 06/02/2006
Fri | | | | | "Active recovery" ride with Cranx. It got hot early. | | |
| California | 06/01/2006
Thu | | | | | | | |
| California | 05/31/2006
Wed | | | | | I can't believe this. After six successful months in Geoladders Anonymous, I'm posting rides again (I can't believe I'm getting sucked back into this). With 6 rides in six days, I can't resist. | | |
| California | 05/29/2006

Wed | | | | | | | |
| California | 11/14/2005
Mon | | | | | Still had over an hour before my car was ready, so I took another lap. I haven't been riding much lately. This lap was a struggle! | | |
| California | 11/14/2005
Mon | | | | | I spent three hours in the park today. I had a half-day to kill while waiting for my car to be services at NB Porsche/Audi. The trip from the dealer to El Moro was a lot farther than I expected. | | |
| California | 11/05/2005
Sat | | | | | Rock-It is a blast! | | |
| California | 11/05/2005
Sat | | | | | First ride in three weeks. No time, just survival. | | |
| California | 10/22/2005
Sat | | | | | No matter how many times you do this ride, it's stuff tuff. | | |
| California | 10/21/2005
Fri | | | | | Nice easy ride with JeffK. | | |
| California | 10/20/2005
Thu | | | | | Great condition after the rains! | | |
| California | 10/14/2005
Fri | | | | | ACK! Not feeling well. Walked the second half of the 1st and 2nd Bitch. | | |
| California | 10/13/2005
Thu | | | | | Set out with CranxOC to do Whiting-Luge. I felt sick and had to settle with Whiting-Cactus. | | |
| California | 10/12/2005
Wed | | | | | Finished in the dark. It was kinda scary exiting the part from the NW entrance in the dark, by myself, after last week's MTN lion sighting. | | |
| California | 10/11/2005
Tue | | | | | Gotta love Dave from freeride Cycles. CranxOC and I went by to ask for directions on this route...Dave closed the shop early and rode with us. Fun little ride. | | |
| California | 10/01/2005
Sat | | | | | Fun easy pace ride with JeffK and a couple beginners. | | |
| California | 10/01/2005
Sat | | | 57:14
57:14 | | Rode this early, then met JeffK and friends at Cook's for an Cook's-Old Camp run. | | |
| California | 09/30/2005
Fri | | | 48:58
48:58 | | My first of two Aliso routes today. | | |
| California | 09/30/2005
Fri | | | 1:02:07
1:02:07 | | I wish you didn't have to ride all the way back to the lot to do multiple routes here. It's a boring and duplicitous 10 minutes. Still fun though. | | |
| California | 09/27/2005
Tue | | | | | ACK! For something to do with "anaerobic improvement", JeffK decided every hill was a sprint. So much for the evening place keeper. | | |
| California | 09/25/2005
Sun | | | | | CranxOC and I took our business partner on his first MTB ride...I can remember walking my bike up Mustard too, back in 1987. | | |
| California | 09/24/2005
Sat | | | 3:51:00
| | Heavy mist at the top and on Corona side at 7:00am. Beautiful on the way down Black Star. | | |
| California | 09/23/2005
Fri | | | | | Mountain Lion sighting today in the park. The ranger closed the trail at the NW entrance until they made sure he ran off. | | |
| California | 09/22/2005
Thu | | | | | BONK! Didn't feel right from the start. Thanks CranxOC for your patience and being willing to call it quits at Coctail Rock. | | |
| California | 09/21/2005
Wed | | | | | Rode this yesterday. Very dry considering the rain. I didn't have time to see if the rain helped the Weir Canyon ride. | | |
| California | 09/15/2005
Thu | | | 5:47:02
| | I really beat Manni's 4:20 time by 10 minutes. I just put 5:47 so he doesn't get discouraged. Honestly Manni, you are super human! I almost killed myself for a sub-6 hour. | | |
| California | 09/13/2005
Tue | | | 1:28:39
1:28:39 | | I went back today to do the route correctly. Fun ride! Thanks Shleppy and CranxOC for adding it. | | |
| California | 09/12/2005
Mon | | | 1:40:00
| | A wrong turn added some extra time. I started with CranxOC, who had done this before, so I didn't bring directions. He had to cut the ride short at 4 Corners. I made the wrong turn by going to the immediate right at the stables. I ended up on a single track that ended at the water tower. I was 1:40 with the extra distance. | | |
| California | 09/11/2005
Sun | | | 1:33:00
| | My third Magura Marta SL rear brake failure in 3 weeks! I rode down from Beeks with ZERO rear brake. I should be thankful, the last time it was the Motorway. | | |
| California | 09/08/2005
Thu | | | 5:40:00
| | I could say some type of euphemism like..."That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger" or "it's certainly an adventure", but I'm with CranxOC here. In this case, that which doesn't kill us makes us bloody, sore, and grumpy. Once was good enough for this baby. | | |
| California | 09/06/2005
Tue | | | | | Nice cool evening ride with JeffK | | |
| California | 09/05/2005
Mon | | | | | I took a business partner on his first "real" mtb ride. Mr. Basketball-Gym Rat choked 3/4 up. Black Star was a good choice, Old camp would have killed him! No ride time, I kept him company. | | |
| California | 09/04/2005
Sun | | | | | Ran up to the peak for some added miles. They graded it from 4 Corners up. Met 6 guys from SoCa Trail Riders...Nice guys. | | |
| California | 08/30/2005
Tue | | | | | I used to stop and wait for CranxOC on the climbs...NOT ANYMORE! He's got me beat. Great ride today. Beat the heat and finished in under 3 hours. | | |
| California | 08/29/2005
Mon | | | 1:19:00
| | JeffK and I headed south to find cooler weather. It worked. It was a beautiful evening in Aliso Woods. | | |
| California | 08/26/2005
Fri | | | | | Morning ride with the King | | |
| California | 08/25/2005
Thu | | | | | This started out as a fast Harding-Motorway ride with LyroVK (sub-1:30 to 4 corners). A mysterious leak in my Camelback put me WAY too short of water to finish. Had to turn back. I think my wife poked a hole in it. My term life policy must be ready to expire. | | |
| California | 08/23/2005
Tue | | | | | Another evening ride with JeffK "King of Santiago Oaks". | | |
| California | 08/22/2005
Mon | | | 3:06:00
3:25:00 | | Too hot for Harding-Motorway. Did this instead. LyroVK and I both donated blood to the trail. LyroVK's bike tried to take a shortcut down the mountain. Luckily, he wasn't on it! Retrieving it took moderate mounting-climbing skills. I went over-the-bars only to land on my feet running. The 2nd time I wasn't so lucky...OUCH! Made good time though. | | |
| California | 08/20/2005
Sat | | | 2:28:00
| | I HIGHLY recomend this ride. TBest did a great job with the directions, very easy to follow. LyroVK and I both rode all but about 10 feet of Stair Steps. That's a rush! | | |
| California | 08/17/2005

2:54:00 | | Not very interesting, but a great workout. Bring the iPod. If the Skyline gate is open, watch out for wannabe teenage Baja racers! | | |

Sun | | | | | JeffK worked me today. Beautiful weather though. So cool at the top I wished I had long sleeves. | | |
| California | 08/12/2005
Fri | | | | | WARNING! My new Schwalbe Racing Ralph had a catastrophic failure today. CranxOC and I were about halfway between the top of Maple Springs and the Motorway (10.3 mi) when the rear tire delaminated. It was disfigured so badly, it wouldn't even roll through my seat stays! I did a lot of walking this evening. | | |
| California | 08/10/2005
Wed | | | | | Another evening ride with JeffK. | | |

Mon | | | 1:48:31
| | This may be my new favorite trail. Special thanks to Mani for keeping the pace at the level of us mere mortals. | | |
| California | 08/07/2005
Sun | | | | | Bonk! I pushed too hard in the heat trying to set a new best time. Had my fasted first half and slowest 2nd half ever. Maybe I need a rest day...NAH! | | |
| California | 08/05/2005
Fri | | | 3:15:00
| | This ride started with a quick loop around the Big Bear Am Cup course. The River Trail is a blast! The shuttle is a pain, but worth it. Oh yeah, don't let your buddy lock the keys to the downhill shuttle in the uphill vehicle :( No problem, hitched a ride with a drunk! | | |
| California | 08/01/2005
Mon | | | | | Hey, riding with CranxOC is a good investment. Saturday I bought him a $1.50 Gatorade, today he bought me a $25.00 breakfast! Great ride in the cool beach weather. | | |
| California | 07/30/2005
Sat | | | | | A camel couldn't carry enough water to do this ride in this heat. I was glad to see that Trabuco General Store...Gatorade...AHHH!Considering the heat, CranxOC, Shleppy, and I had a strong finish at 4:23. I'll ride with you guys anyday! | | |
| California | 07/28/2005
Thu | | | | | Second time around today. | | |

| | Climbing Dreaded Hill in the afternoon sun could kill an old man my age. I had to stop twice to cool down before I reached the bench. | | |
| California | 07/27/2005
Wed | | | | | | | |
| California | 07/26/2005
Tue | | | | | Another evening ride with JeffK. | | |

Mon | | | 2:19:36
| | I'm glad I brought my "printable directions". Lot's of potential wrong turns. At least 10 degrees cooler than the Cleveland NF rides. I hear people complain about this ride. The way I see it...99% dirt, good climbs, ocean breeze, no cars...PERFECT! | | |
| California | 07/23/2005
Sat | | | | | Couldn't make an accurate time due to adding the Modjeska Grade climb. | | |
| California | 07/23/2005
Sat | | | | | Fun loop. Finished with Santiago Time Trial | | |
| California | 07/19/2005
Tue | | | 2:17:00
2:25:00 | | A stiff breeze on Maple Springs kept the bugs down. 8:00am isn't early enough, the Divide Rd was scorching hot already. | | |
| California | 07/18/2005
Mon | | | | | | | |
| California | 07/16/2005
Sat | | | | | Cactus is a mess! I see guys have been posting the ride, so I hopped over the wires. It's overgrown, rocky, with cavernous ruts, I loved it. | | |
| California | 07/16/2005
Sat | | | 1:58:00
| | Fun early ride. Stopped at Cook's for breakfast before doing Whiting. | | |
| California | 07/14/2005
Thu | | | | | Avoid this ride. It's getting worse not better. I fell twice trying to ride through the silt. It may take a good summer thunderstorm to make it worth riding again. | | |
| California | 07/13/2005
Wed | | | 1:54:14
1:54:14 | | I almost slammed into a guy walking his bike down one of the smoothest sections of the Luge. I was bleeding from crashing into the brush. I politely suggested he stick to Santiago Truck until he develops some skills. | | |
| California | 07/12/2005
Tue | | | 43:00
| | Ran into Tim Panttaja and some friends on the trail. Tim is the owner of Switchback Cyclery in Orange....Great guy, great shop. | | |
| California | 07/11/2005
Mon | | | | | The first "B" is getting really soft and silty, from the horses I guess. This ride could use a good rain. | | |
| California | 07/09/2005
Sat | | | 3:48:00
4:15:00 | | Rode this with LyroVk (new guy). He's not some one you need to wait for, that's for sure. Great ride, but the Divide from Holy Jim to Trabuco is a grind. You certainly earn the downhill. Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! | | |
| California | 07/07/2005

| California | 07/02/2005
Sat | | | | | Had a beginner to wait for, making for a nice easy ride. Going OTB on the Motorway always makes for a fun day. Luckily only minimal body damage. | | |
| California | 06/30/2005
Thu | | | | | Still a lot of sand and loose dirt from the dozer. It's 80% ridable now, but might take a good rain to be worth doing. Lot's of tracks, so somebodys riding it. | | |
| California | 06/29/2005
Wed | | | 2:19:21
2:40:00 | | Too hot for any speed run. I met a guy on the trail (Trent). I was selling him hard on geoladders. He must have thought I was an insurance salesman. Hey, the guy has some grey hair, and he's riding Harding in the heat of the day. He's one of us. | | |
| California | 06/27/2005
Mon | | | | | A nice afternoon ride with JeffK. Jeff's best time up, gate to clearing in 1:05. Not bad for a "Really Old Guy". | | |
| California | 06/25/2005
Sat | | | | | Had to quit 1/4 into lap 7 due to neck pain associated with my surgery. Final score 6 laps 8:10. | | |
| California | 06/22/2005
Wed | | | | | Those 3 Bitches don't get any easier in this heat. | | |

Mon | | | 48:41
| | Didn't have it in me to push today, but it was a good place-keeper. | | |
| California | 06/18/2005
Sat | | | | | Nice cool down after timed Old Camp run. Hikers galore. They made for a pretty slow loop. | | |
| California | 06/18/2005
Sat | | | 1:39:00
| | My best Old Camp time ever. We finished up by going down Whiting-Dreaded Hill and back up. JeffK and I ditched our ride home and rode the 15 miles back to Villa Park through the canyon. It's never enough! | | |
| California | 06/16/2005
Thu | | | 33:51
| | This was my second Whiting lap today. I was already bored, so I spliced-in #2 Gate to Flag. 0:23:10 to four corners 0:10:41 down. | | |
| California | 06/16/2005
Thu | | | 39:11
| | I thought a couple three laps here might be good parallel training for the short 12-hour course in Big Bear next weekend. Lots of water still. cactus is closed :( | | |
| California | 06/16/2005
Thu | | | 43:58
| | Adding this to whiting makes a nice ride. the fog was all the way down to the flag. On my way down, I must have past ten guys coming up. The after work riders I guess. | | |

5:25:00 | | Anther day in paradise. Overcast and cool on climbs, sunny and breezy at top. JeffK did the entire ride with less than 10 min in breaks. 53 and still a stud! | | |
| California | 06/02/2005
Thu | | | | | Crowded tonight. there must have been ten guys on the chutes. A little blood was donated to the drop-off at the top, under the tower. | | |
| California | 05/30/2005
Mon | | | 4:17:51
| | Great ride. Holly Jim is a blast! A lot of hikers at the bottom slowed us down by a few minutes. Lost TBest on Harding due to a tubeless tire malfunction. | | |
| California | 05/28/2005
Sat | | | 3:12:23
3:40:00 | | Today's ride started out as an easy-slow pace to Beek's Place and back with 6 guys. At Beek's, JeffK and I decided we were half-way to 93 points! | | |
| California | 05/27/2005
Fri | | | | | JeffK and I rode through Santiago Oaks over to Peter's this evening. The bottom loop is a fun addition, but only takes a couple minutes. | | |
| California | 05/26/2005
Thu | | | 2:48:23
| | The best part of the ride was being towed by Doug and Mani, at 30+ mph, all the way down Silverado and back to the car parked at Blackstar...Thanks guys! | | |
| California | 05/24/2005
Tue | | | 1:27:43
| | Every time I ride this I have to pinch myself to believe it's right out my back door. IMHO the chutes downhill is the funnest half-mile in OC. Yee Haa! | | |
| California | 05/21/2005
Sat | | | | | Due to the 90 degree plus day, JeffK and I decided not to keep our ride time. We rode at an easy pace. At 45 and 53, we thought staying hydrated was more important than breaking any records. | | |
| California | 05/19/2005
Thu | | | | | I'm claiming this ride, but I must disclose that I bailed out on the road before the last leg of Santiago Oaks due to time constraints. Doug, thanks for including our local ride on this site! Let's ride again soon. | | |
| California | 05/18/2005
Wed | | | 1:57:12
| | This is a fun ride! I'll go back for sure. | | |
| California | 05/15/2005
Sun | | | 12:27
| | Single Speed run. Just a warm up before going over to Santiago Oaks | | |
| California | 05/15/2005
Sun | | | 44:06
| | Single Speed run. Anybody who rides the Santiago Oak's Three "B"s on a single speed won't need to ask what the "B" stands for. | | |
| California | 05/10/2005
Tue | | | 1:44:21
| | There were 8 or 10 huge steer on the trail just above the switchback. They didn't seem agressive, but they did slow me down by a minute or two. | | |

Tue | | | | | JeffK and I climbed this on our road bike. It's a little erie seeing the abandon cars that are stranded by the mud slide. Lots of burros! | | |
