Favorite ride? I am sure this has been posted many times but I am just curious whats your favorite socal ride

andy aka rut · 01-31-2007, 05:19 PM

My all time favorite would have to be in Santa Barbara. Tunnel Trail. Really tech stuff on a 80mm travel fork. It's definately an eyefull.
Locally, I would have to say the San Juan/Chiquita loop and back. Long day in the saddle, great food at the candy store and plenty of tech riding too boot!

Sprockethead · 01-31-2007, 05:47 PM

Chiquita for the fun technical decent
Hurkey Creek or Big Laguna for scenery
Santiago Oaks and Turnbull for a quick, fun ride locally.

Pain Freak · 01-31-2007, 06:09 PM

Sedona for the best ride, locally though I'd have to say Mt Wilson Trail

I tried it once on a 5 inch travel bike, I had a blast, but it wasn't all that techy any more. You know?!

Epic_Mtn_Biker · 01-31-2007, 08:35 PM

3 places come to mind:

Turnbull Canyon, nice mix of everything plus it's very local. roller coaster style riding (lots of climbing & descending) great place to combine trails to make rides up to 24 miles

Santa Monica Mountain loop: Sullivan Ridge climb, Farmer's S/T, Hectic S/T, Caballero Canyon to Hub then Eagle Rock loop, descend Will Rogers Backbone, down J-Drop, return to Amalfi/Capri. loads of fun.

San Gabriels loop: from JPL, climb Lower Sam Merrill, descend Sunset Ridge & El Prieto return to JPL. i've been riding this lately.

bjammin · 01-31-2007, 08:37 PM

S.A.R.T. I still can feel the singletrack.

dstepper · 01-31-2007, 08:40 PM

If you limit me to So-Cal....then Mt. Waterman. But I have been on trails in Utah and Arizona I like more.

roadkillross · 01-31-2007, 08:57 PM

Del Cerro

dstepper · 01-31-2007, 09:06 PM

Big Bear, Siberia Creek Trail is not to shaby.

the Fully Loop!

gurp13 · 02-01-2007, 01:44 PM

My favorite ride right now is the Zion/Winter Creek/Chantry ride. Lots of fun! I also enjoyed SART and Strawberry Peak.

FULLY LOOP ROCKS!!!

Especially with a stop-off at Hero's for beers and Burgers afterwards.

2wheel_lee · 02-01-2007, 04:52 PM

I agree with the Fully Loop.
Not challenging enough for you? Take away suspension and gears, and the trail becomes a lot more fun.

And if you want some drops, there are some sick drops that I can see people have actually done (I'm sure they weren't on rigids, though).

guero · 02-01-2007, 04:54 PM

was mt. high ever open to mt. biking via lift access? i remember back in 00-01 that there was a downhill race there or something.
