Hi all,

I am just starting get into mtb-ing and was referred to this site by SlowSSer (Thank you!). Just bought my first full suspension bike ('07 GT id-drive 2.0 - has been awesome so far) and am trying to get comfortable riding it. I've gone out 4 times now and have the bumps, scrapes and bruises to prove it!

Guess this may sound familiar to some of the other newbies! I thought I was in good enough shape as I run with my dog every day and play soccer twice a week, but this is completely different and am getting my butt kicked! I'd love to join some of the newbie rides (spare time is a little hard to come by with a 9 month old!) or if anyone is riding on some of the easier trails in So OC please let me know.

Thanks a lot and I look forward to meeting you on the trails very soon,
Lubo

I got a 10 month old, but my wife lets me ride a weekend morning a week. Getting her out on the otherhand, requires taking the trailer with us.

Kingaucho,

Your local shop (Ladera Cyclery) is doing a mountain bike group ride at 7am from the shop and then having breakfast and a raffle in celebration of their 3rd anniversary tomorrow (Saturday 17th). Mountain bike ride should be about 20 miles. If anyone else is interested there is also a group road ride leaving the shop at the same time.
