Sat | | | 2:32:49
3:07:14 | | Looking at my Blackstar History it looks like it has been 4 years since I rode out here. Need to do this more often and get back into better biking shape. I was struggling near the top to get to Beeks. Rode with Greg and he continued on to MW. Lots of others out there today. Bikers, runners and hikers. Hit all the singletracks on the way back down. | | |

Mon | | | 2:04:29
2:04:29 | | First ride of 2022. Aliso is mostly dry after all the rain. Any mud or puddles is avoidable. Some new ruts out there. Looks like OC Parks decided that there are no more 1 way trails for certain user groups. Both Cholla & Lynx are back to the way they were and anyone can go up or down. | | |
| California | 12/31/2021
Fri | | | 1:12:02
1:12:02 | | One last ride for 2021. Some other riders out there taking advantage of the nice day finally. 2 guys working on the Luge and I made sure to thank them for their work. Pretty sure one was Jim Jennings. | | |

| California | 12/23/2021
Thu | | | 2:46:02

| California | 06/03/2021
Thu | | | 1:24:27
1:24:27 | | Nice to get a late afternoon ride in after work. OC Parks have put up directional signs for some trails. Lynx is now supposed to be downhill only for bikes. Cholla is supposed to be uphill for both bikes and hikers and downhill for hikers only. Probably makes sense for both of these trails. | | |
| California | 05/31/2021
Mon | | | 2:23:29
2:36:51 | | Took advantage of the day off. Quite a few others did as well. More riders than usual on STT. | | |

Sun | | | 2:30:10
2:30:10 | | Thought I might be riding into the clouds today. But stayed just below them. Did not see any other riders at all and just one runner on STT. Felt good today. | | |
| California | 04/29/2021
Thu | | | 1:23:36
1:29:31 | | Park is nice and quiet mid week. Warm out there today. | | |

Sat | | | 2:29:55
2:56:32 | | Been a long time since I have been up to Hal's Place. Pretty much the same. Good seeing Frank the Tank out there today. Felt good the whole ride. | | |
| California | 04/18/2021
Sun | | | 1:28:14
1:37:10 | | Wasn't feeling it today late start and it was warm out. There was good breeze that helped make it feel cooler. Laguna Canyon road was busy going in and coming out. | | |
| California | 04/13/2021
Tue | | | 1:36:45
2:03:56 | | First ride in over a year with friends. Played it safe and wore a gaitor. I don't ride in Ladera often but there always seems to be new trails every time I come out here. My pedal hit a rock near the end of the ride and I hit the ground hard. Some pretty good bruising and soreness but luckily no deep cuts or anything broken. | | |
| California | 04/11/2021

| California | 04/10/2021
Sat | | | 1:55:41
2:08:34 | | Nice bike and handles the chunky stuff well. Possibly a bit bigger of a bike that I want or need. | | |
| California | 04/08/2021
Thu | | | 15:37

| California | 03/28/2021
Sun | | | 2:43:13
2:43:13 | | Same ride as last week. A little warm out there today and legs were struggling a little bit past the Luge. Saw a Delorean on Santiago Canyon Road near Cooks Corner. Saw a little guy crash in O'Neil going in the other direction. He was just scraped up a little bit and he had some adults there with him. | | |
| California | 03/21/2021
Sun | | | 2:24:49
2:43:44 | | Haven't been on Lower Joplin in a long time. It's in good shape and it's obvious people have been working on it and keeping it brushed back.
There was a motorcycle accident just past Cooks. Looked like a solo accident. Talked to a few riders I saw today including a roadie on Santiago Canyon Road. That never happens. | | |
| California | 03/14/2021
Sun | | | 1:25:15
1:25:15 | | Late afternoon start - taking advantage of daylight savings time. | | |
| California | 03/06/2021
Sat | | | 4:50:24
5:28:24 | | No demo bike today but wanted to try and get this ride in. Took it nice and slow. Nice to hit Joplin again, it's been a long time. I think I counted 7 E-bikes go by me. | | |
| California | 02/28/2021
Sun | | | 2:31:14
3:02:40 | | Decided to take advantage of the demo bike I had and see if my legs would have enough to do Harding-Jopiln. Haven't done a ride like that in a long time. The wind was crazy out there today but legs felt good. Unfortunately not far from reaching 4 Corners I realized I had a leak in the rear tire. Tires were setup tubeless and there was no sealant in the tire. Even worse I realized I did not have a tube. I had everything else in my backpack. I had not seen any other riders and knew I was facing a long walk down. Luckily OC Fire Authority was out there. We tried to fix the flat but couldn't find the hole. They ended up giving me the "ride of shame" all the way back down to my car. Really nice guys and saved the day for me. Other Comments | | |

| California | 01/24/2021
Sun | | | 1:10:58
1:10:58 | | STT & Luge are almost 100% dry. Any muddy spots are easily avoidable. Picked up a bunch of stolen mail that got dumped near the bottom of Modjeska Grade Rd. and delivered it to the owners after my ride. Good seeing the Brown's, Stu and Cynthia back at the Cook's lot afterwards. | | |
| California | 01/17/2021
Sun | | | 1:51:22
1:51:22 | | Had to get a ride on some dirt this weekend as well. Nice seeing Jeff L. and his son in Aliso. Got to TOW at sunset and it was packed with people up there. There were 2 powered paragliders flying above TOW. Saw them back at their cars when I finished my ride. Told them they had plenty of people filming them at TOW. They take off from the soccer fields across from Wood Canyon school. Other Comments | | |

Mon | | | 1:15:14
1:15:14 | | Didn't leave enough time for the shortest day of the year with light. Had to drop down Rock It before it got too dark. Little run in with another rider who was going in the other direction on the singletrack at the top of Rock It. No big deal and all was good. | | |
| California | 12/20/2020
Sun | | | 1:05:48
1:08:29 | | Be careful of the new water bar gate, It is located right where the bulldozer stopped plowing the trail which is just before you get to the rocky downhill section as you are heading towards the flag. | | |
| California | 12/13/2020
Sun | | | 1:17:52
1:17:52 | | STT is bulldozed into a fire road all the way to Vultures Crag. Dirt is hard packed. | | |

44:41 | | Nice morning ride around the community before heading home. | | |
| California | 11/28/2020
Sat | | | 1:03:50
1:29:15 | | Decided to try something new out in the Palm Springs area. Stopped by a trail called Hopalong Cassidy but there were a lot of hikers and it looked like a steep climb with a narrow trail and lots of switch backs. Didn't look like that would be a good choice. Went and found the trail head for Art Smith. Not as crowded but it looked like a steep climb once again. Decided to give it a try and glad I did. Definitely some HAB but a good climb and technical singletrack with switchbacks coming back down. | | |
| California | 11/27/2020
Fri | | | 44:08
56:27 | | Didn't have a lot of time, so just exploring a little bit. Found a fun single single track back down to the finish. | | |
| California | 11/26/2020
Thu | | | 42:18
1:04:32 | | Nice little get away to the Desert with my wife for Thanksgiving. This community is gated so it was nice to ride around and check it out. | | |
| California | 11/23/2020
Mon | | | 1:22:18

| California | 10/25/2020
Sun | | | 1:35:27
1:44:05 | | Was thinking of heading towards Cooks Corner but it looked like there was a chance of more rain that way. Stopped at Tru Value in Laguna Niguel for some sprinkler repair stuff since we were close by. | | |
| California | 10/22/2020
Thu | | | 1:07:33
1:14:40 | | Late start meant finishing the single track down in the dark. Good Times! | | |
| California | 10/18/2020

| California | 10/03/2020
Sat | | | 1:28:43
1:28:43 | | Tipped over going up Cholla. Knew I was close to a cactus and thought I avoided it but when I got back to the car I saw a bunch of needles in my arm that were out of sight. Had no idea they were there. | | |
| California | 09/26/2020
Sat | | | 1:30:21
1:30:21 | | Very busy in Aliso this morning. Looked like the there was some type of firefighter training going one near the top of Meadows. They had fire trucks, water tanker and a helicopter up there. | | |
| California | 09/13/2020
Sun | | | 1:34:20
1:34:20 | | Came up on a buck on a singletrack and slowly followed behind him for about 50 yards. He was not spooked by me at all and walked off the trail as I went by. | | |
| California | 09/07/2020
Mon | | | | | Labor Day ride in Aliso - much cooler today. Park was much less crowded than I anticipated. I think a lot of people probably thought it would be too hot like the past 2 days. | | |
| California | 09/05/2020
Sat | | | 42:17
45:09 | | early evening ride with my wife. temps were definitely milder. | | |

Sat | | | 58:49
1:03:46 | | wasn't feeling that great today - kept it an easy ride - pretty crowded in the park today - lots of hikers and runners | | |
| California | 08/16/2020
Sun | | | 1:14:26
1:19:27 | | Early start to beat the heat but not early enough. Too hot and not feeling it going up Cholla so I walked most of it. That was a first. Felt a little better after that but decided to skip going to TOW and went down Car Wreck. Probably about 30 different people hiking on CW and most of them in the Rock Garden down by the car. They were all cool but felt like I had a gallery of people watching as I went by. Someone got airlifted out of the park before 8am and I think it was the last downhill section of Rock It just before you get to Coyote Run. | | |
| California | 08/08/2020
Sat | | | 1:31:13
1:31:13 | | Felt good to get out and get a ride in this morning. Had quite a few riders going in the opposite direction on PC which is unusual. | | |

Tue | | | 1:23:01
1:29:04 | | Late afternoon start for a much needed mid-week ride. Temps were nice and cool which was surprising. The goats are out at the top of Meadows doing the fire control thing. | | |
| California | 07/11/2020
Sat | | | 1:01:00
1:17:10 | | Started a little too late this morning and the heat and not riding enough made me keep this one short. Nice seeing Vino before starting the ride and Debbie & Erik going in the other direction on Pinecrest. | | |

1:50:48 | | First time riding this area or it has been a very long time since the last time. Need to do this one again. Part of Back Bay Drive is fenced off due to rock slide.

Sun | | | 1:28:45
1:49:58 | | Trails were pretty quiet but Laguna Cyn Rd was packed with people leaving Laguna both when I started and ended the ride. Rode the Blur LT. Been a long time since I have been on that bike. | | |
| California | 06/02/2020

| California | 03/29/2020
Sun | | | 1:44:14

Sat | | | 4:52:34
4:52:34 | | We decided to get up early and cheer on our friends riding the VQ & Counting Coup by seeing them at the top of Motorway and again at 4 Corners. Almost got to the top of Motorway before the first 3 riders came by. Daniel Munoz was in the lead by a couple of minutes. Got to see our buddy Frank the Tank at both spots. That's his 15th VQ. Good ride with Troy and Matt. | | |

Sun | | | 3:59:43
3:59:43 | | Haven't ridden back in here in a long time. Felt better than I thought would. National Forest gate was closed so the hikers had to park there which definitely helped keep their numbers down.
Saw a few familiar faces out there as well. Took a little detour on the way down to check out the falls. Rode with Greg, Mark & Troy. | | |
| California | 03/20/2018

Sun | | | 2:31:08
2:31:08 | | Good ride with the Saturday Crew but on a Sunday. Whiting was open and surprisingly in good shape. Haven't been there in a while. Felt good up on STT.

1:03:53 | | Was hoping to beat the rain this morning. But it started to drizzle before I got to Laguna. We decided to go for it anyway. Actually wasn't too bad out on the dirt but we kept it short. Still a fun little work out with Ben & Dave. Greg forgot his biking shoes and had to head home. | | |
| California | 03/07/2018

1:46:13 | | Saturday Crew ride w/ Matt, Greg & Ben. Our usual route. Lost my front brakes on one of the descents. Pads looked like they had some life left but we switched them out and that solved the issue.
Good times as usual. | | |
| California | 02/06/2018
Tue | | | | | After work Luge night ride - solo on the HT - Ouch! | | |
| California | 02/04/2018

| California | 02/01/2018
Thu | | | 1:36:12
2:02:11 | | Our office got evacuated for a possible fire and when the fire trucks showed up I decided to get my night ride in during the day. Nice and quiet out there and great weather. | | |
| California | 01/30/2018
Tue | | | 1:06:24
1:06:24 | | Got out just before sunset - Moon was rising over the ridge as I climbed Modjeska Grade Rd and once up on STT the colors from the sunset were pretty remarkable.
Lost my tail light out there tonight. | | |
| California | 01/27/2018
Sat | | | 1:47:22
1:47:22 | | Something like this with Greg and Matt. Hit some stuff we haven't ridden in a while. Started out cold in the canyon but once on PC the sun felt good. | | |

| California | 01/16/2018
Tue | | | 1:02:41

| California | 01/14/2018
Sun | | | 1:08:58
1:34:51 | | Real nice out there for an early afternoon ride. Saw a few runners and 2 bikers both going back towards the gate. Stopped at the flag and talked to some hikers enjoying their lunch.
Cooks was packed with the moto crowd today. | | |

Sat | | | 1:25:09
1:25:09 | | First ride of the new year. Something like this with Mark, Ben & Greg. Nice morning out there. Ridge Park was crowded with both bikers and hikers out burning off the holiday calories. | | |
| California | 12/30/2017
Sat | | | 1:25:09
1:25:09 | | Something like this with Matt, Greg & Ben. Got that damn cough that everyone else seems to have and had no energy earlier in the week. Took it easy on the climbs today. Nice morning out there. Good seeing Brian E as well. | | |
| California | 12/23/2017
Sat | | | 1:27:42
1:27:42 | | Just Mark, Troy and myself this morning. A little chilly out there this morning. Rode the hardtail which was a bit sketchy on 5-Oaks. That trail is pretty beat up right now. Our ride was similar to this. | | |
| California | 12/21/2017
Thu | | | 1:10:46
1:10:46 | | Met up with Rudy and his friends in the Cooks parking lot last night. Windy starting out but surprisingly not bad at all up on STT. | | |
| California | 12/16/2017
Sat | | | 1:45:01
1:45:01 | | Something like this w/ Greg, Matt, Ben & Troy. Good times and nice morning out in Laguna today. | | |
| California | 12/12/2017
Tue | | | 1:03:46
1:07:40 | | Solo ride after work but doing this ride on a Tuesday evening is never really solo. Stopped at the flag and waited my turn to head back down the Luge. | | |
| California | 12/10/2017
Sun | | | 1:29:03
1:29:03 | | Up late last night for a Holiday party and it took everything I had to get motivated to get a ride in. Of course at the end of the ride I was glad I went. Saw a park rangers jeep with it siren and lights on going into the park and up Mathis. Found out it was a hiker who had a possible cardiac issue on Mathis. Helicopters were there but they decided to drive him to the hospital instead of flying him. | | |
| California | 12/06/2017
Wed | | | | | Very windy tonight with strong gusts. | | |
| California | 12/02/2017

Mon | | | 2:05:55
2:05:55 | | Haven't done a ride at Blackstar in a long time. Not a big fan of riding out there solo, especially at night. Some hikers heading out as I was heading in and just a few riders on their way out. Didn't see anybody else after 4 miles in until I was almost back down at the bottom. Couple of a small groups of riders starting to head up. | | |
| California | 11/18/2017
Sat | | | 1:35:17
1:35:17 | | Just Ben & I this morning. Something like this. Came across a downed ride on Lizards. He had crashed on his cross bike. A little bloody but he should be ok. Asked him a few questions to try and make sure he had not lost consciousness.
Saw a deer as we climbed Slow & Easy. | | |
| California | 11/16/2017
Thu | | | 1:41:41
1:41:41 | | Thought I wasn't going to be able ride any dirt tonight. Modjeska Grade Rd. was closed at Santiago Cyn. Rd. because they were repaving it. I decided to go around to the other side but it was closed over there as well. I rode to the end of Modjeska Rd. and on my way out they told me the road was opened. Went up the back way and was able to ride STT & the Luge. | | |
| California | 11/14/2017
Tue | | | 1:00:14
1:06:18 | | Got out there before it got crowded. Pavement work being done on Modjeska Grade Rd. Took a spill but shook it off. | | |
| California | 11/11/2017
Sat | | | | | Saturday Crew Ride with Ben, Greg and Troy. Some rocket scientist thought it would be a smart idea to invite 50 riders for some type of underground "enduro" race in a wilderness park on a Saturday morning. Real smart bombing down multi use trails with no regard to other users. That's going to do wonders for our reputation out on the trails. We weren't shy giving them our opinion as we climbed Old Emerald when they were descending.
Here's a thought - either take it to a less crowded area or how about riding some
of the actual technical trails that the hikers don't use and no other bikers are climbing. | | |
| California | 11/09/2017
Thu | | | 1:01:47
1:01:47 | | Didn't think it could be more busy out there compared to Tuesday nights but it definitely seemed that way tonight. Good seeing Travis, JJ & Charlie as they went by me. | | |
| California | 11/07/2017
Tue | | | 1:05:35
1:05:35 | | Luge night rides start again. Nice night out tonight. | | |

1:53:24 | | Saturday Crew ride with Greg, Ben, Mark, Matt & Dave. Dave took a good spill but shook it off. Similar ride to last week but with a different HAB. First time running over a rattle snake. It didn't seem upset at all until after it slithered off the trail into the bushes and then it let us know it was pissed. | | |

Thu | | | 1:12:11
1:24:59 | | Mellow solo ride - a couple of stops just to take in the views. After falling into a cactus last Saturday, I seemed to really notice all the cactus today. | | |
| California | 09/23/2017
Sat | | | 1:32:20
1:32:20 | | 6 of us showed up for the Saturday Crew Ride this morning. Our route had similar #'s as this.
By the end it was just Benito and myself. Troy had a little mishap at one point but he should be ok and then I decided to tip over on a climb and fall right into a cactus. First time I have done that and I was covered in needles. If Ben wasn't with me, I would have been in a lot more trouble. Probably be pulling them out for a long time. Other Comments | | |

Sat | | | 1:56:36
2:15:20 | | Warm but not too bad. The wind wasn't that bad as well. At the top of the climb of Rock-It I realized I had dropped my arm pads. We went back and found them in the middle of the rock garden and climbed back up again. New paved path going over to Meadows is just about complete. Good ride with Troy and Mark. | | |

2:12:14 | | Rode our beater bikes back to where the cement pipes used to be and stashed them for the hike up to the falls. First time checking them out. Seemed like half of Orange County was out there today. The hike is up through the creek with lots of boulder hopping. You should be comfortable with climbing up and down rocks and boulders and lots of creek crossings that can be slippery and loose footing if you are going to attempt this. | | |

Luge is a little slick once you start dropping in but then it is ok after that.
Once on Live Oak Rd. there were emergency vehicles cleaning up what looked like a one car crash. Looked like he hit the side embankment and overturned the car. | | |

It was pretty crowded right there. Beautiful day out there but the legs were not happy. Not enough riding recently and too much food and drink. Good ride with Troy, Greg, Frank & Brian. Gave a hiker named Tyler directions to do the same route but the opposite direction and saw him again at Los Pinos Peak. | | |

1:00:39 | | Solo after work ride. It was a little chilly at Cooks but as usual, this ride warms up once you hit Modjeska Grade Road. Peeled off a light jacket once I hit the dirt. Felt like it warmed up nicely up on STT. Caught up to and passed a few groups who were off to the side of the trail. | 534 | |
