 | dandrews | 01/02/22 | Happy New Year! Have not ridden in weeks, good to get out. A lot of 4x4’s after the rain. Lot's of pot holes out there too, ...and maybe a few pot heads :) | |
| dandrews | 10/30/21 | The Forest Service finally opened the Cleveland gate, so I rode up to the Holy Jim parking lot for the first time in a few years. Awesome | |
| dandrews | 08/04/18 | first few miles are pretty much paved, that's different | |
| dandrews | 07/27/18 | road improvements still happening | |
| dandrews | 07/20/18 | They're putting down some kind of sealer on Trabuco Creek. It doesn't look like they're going to pave it. So far it's just the first couple miles. Hard to tell what the overall plan is, but it might be a nice change from pot holes. | |
| dandrews | 07/09/18 | New gravel, lots of dump trucks. New washboards in a week at no extra charge. | |
| dandrews | 05/21/18 | yeah, a bit muddy, but not too bad | |
| dandrews | 03/11/18 | Muddy, but not too bad. | |
| dandrews | 02/02/18 | flat | |
| dandrews | 10/07/17 | Could hear a live band playing at Rose Canyon Cantina (I think). And people having a good time. Cool | |
| dandrews | 09/06/17 | Road is in bad shape. | |
| dandrews | 08/22/17 | skunk | |
| dandrews | 06/06/17 | lots of gravel | |
| dandrews | 05/04/17 | lots of vehicles, good ride | |
| dandrews | 04/18/17 | lots of trucks, got dusted out | |
| dandrews | 04/11/17 | forest gate is finally open now. | |
| dandrews | 02/04/17 | Cleveland gate closed still, there must have been 30 cars parked there, just crazy. Good to see Troy (Thinkfast) and his son on their way back from a hike to Trail Canyon falls! ...a good little adventure. | |
| dandrews | 01/31/17 | Still some big water crossings. Cleveland gate is still closed to vehicles. | |
| dandrews | 12/25/16 | Cleveland Forest gate was closed. Lots of people walking to Holy Jim. Happy Holidays! | |
| dandrews | 10/31/16 | got dusted out behind a truck | |
| dandrews | 10/25/16 | a bit tacky, nice | |
| dandrews | 10/02/16 | serious gravel | |
| dandrews | 09/27/16 | had some cloud cover, not too bad. | |
| dandrews | 08/16/16 | night ride, slow leak, sealant worked (using serfas instead of stans now) | |
| dandrews | 08/12/16 | Listened to 'Jam at the General' for a bit before riding. An 'anyone can join' group of musicians that meets at the Trabuco General Store every Friday or every other. 3 guitars, a bass, 2 harmonics, a few singers, and a banjo sometimes. Songs are a bit slow, but some not too bad. About 25 people gathered. | |
| dandrews | 07/27/16 | Trabuco creek is so bad now with washboards and gravel etc, never seen it this bad. Just no fun on the rigid anymore. | |
| dandrews | 06/03/16 | back at it | |
| dandrews | 05/04/16 | washboard city | |
| dandrews | 04/21/16 | felt good | |
| dandrews | 04/18/16 | just before dark | |
| dandrews | 03/02/16 | road is in better shape than a few months ago | |
| dandrews | 02/05/16 | windy | |
| dandrews | 09/27/15 | lunar eclipse ride | |
| dandrews | 09/17/15 | one of my stan's race 29 wheels finally gave out, first ride on a new stan's crest wheel, just a bit heavier. | |
| dandrews | 09/08/15 | The road is slowly becoming a paved road as they continue to spray & treat it. I wonder how far up the road they will go. Definitely cuts down on the dust. | |
| dandrews | 08/28/15 | just before dark | |
| dandrews | 08/27/15 | best time ever on ss, was 2.24 gear and black carve, my heaviest bike and tires, something about momentum | |
| dandrews | 08/23/15 | road is getting a little better | |
| dandrews | 08/18/15 | Did some riding in Idaho last week and road to the edge of true Wilderness (Sawtooth Wilderness), no bikes allowed, turned around there, but great ride. Used the new Garmin e20 but GeoLadders doesn't support uploads for this yet so can't easily post that. Course downloads and virtual partner work though. Anyway, back home now and hitting the old standard. | |
| dandrews | 08/02/15 | they're working on the road again | |
| dandrews | 07/05/15 | evening ride | |
| dandrews | 04/27/15 | First ride after being sick for a week. Didn't feel too bad. Had to dodge the mud. | |
| dandrews | 02/10/15 | freshly graded | |
| dandrews | 01/04/15 | First half was dry, second half as wet and muddy as ever. Had a blast. | |
| dandrews | 12/18/14 | Still a bit wet, but not too bad. | |
| dandrews | 10/07/14 | Finally figured out how to ride the washboards on Trabuco Creek Road, ...go really fast. ...much smoother | |
| dandrews | 10/02/14 | Cougar sighting! 100% sure, 1/4 mile past the cleveland gate. I was coming from HJ and saw it cross the road and start to run up the bank but then it came to a complete stop and was watching me ride by. He was less than 100 feet away but I didn't feel threatened. He was probably 100 to 120 pounds, not huge, but at least twice as big as a bobcat. | |
| dandrews | 09/17/14 | yesterday | |
| dandrews | 07/28/14 | easy pace | |
| dandrews | 02/14/14 | good cruise on the ss | |
| dandrews | 11/12/13 | Glad I brought my light. | |
| dandrews | 10/27/13 | dusty | |
| dandrews | 09/06/13 | Back on the rigid, ...so light. | |
| dandrews | 09/04/13 | Nice morning ride. | |
| dandrews | 08/11/13 | Got a chance to put my geared bike back together. ...still like the ss. | |
| dandrews | 11/06/12 | dusty | |
| dandrews | 09/15/12 | Been using 180mm cranks, now trying 175mm again, can't decide. | |
| dandrews | 06/03/12 | Hiked up to the 40ft. waterfall the other day. Better than HJ falls. Never knew it was there till recently. Mile 3.4 look left, and down, there's a trail. 15 minute hike, up, very pretty. | |
| dandrews | 05/18/12 | Made it just before dark. There was a band (country) playing at the General Store by 0'Neill. Lots of people. | |
| dandrews | 05/09/12 | Flat but good. | |
