Default Fullerton loop how long time wise?

So how long does it take for you guy's to complete the loop? I want to see what the fastest times are so I can compare and see where I stand amongst you fine athletic stallions. I also would like to see especially since I'm a newb at MTB'ing.

Average new person about 1:30
Most of this group can get it done in 1hr or just over
A good bunch can push 45min
The elite few can kick ur arse finishing in like 35min or I have heard of less

My best time is 55 minutes. Pretty sure I could go faster if I had a BIG ring!

I think Gene, Mp3, and a few others went to race Steven Jackson once for bragging rights and SJ kicked their butts. I think he finished in 20 minutes.

I'm gonna time myself this weekend and see where i stand. i've only been there once, but I'm guessing 21 minutes.

If only they had the crack smoking emoticon, because only on drugs could I dream about doing that time.

You are correct Mr. Freak, and that was with me riding one footed on all the downhills

I average about 50 mins for the loop. Genus can hammer it out in about 45 mins or so, though. One of these Thursdays I will make it out to the Loop @ 4 to see if I can keep up with him on his Pre-Loop.

However, times on the Loop can be a bit deceiving. There are instances when stop lights & street crossing can add a few minutes to your ride. Plus, there are several areas where you can add some extra credit sections which will also add time. Heck, heading up by the Summit House and cruising through the $5 million mansions can add at least 10 more minutes and a few more miles.

Just main trail, extra credits(through single track trees)? include the dam or go around? Bridge route before the dam?

Yeah SJ is the undisputed Fully loop king!! I demand a rematch.

I haven't tried hammering the loop in awhile but between 35-38 minutes depending on stop lights, horses, dogs, pedestrians, other cyclists....

I think the main question that comes to my mind is:
Do you want the times with crashes, or without?....

Hmmm, don't know. Just whatever route is posted on Geoladders. The one with all the small pictures for directions.
