Default Lets ride!

Whats up fellow socal riders! My name is Matt and I live in Irvine--cookie cutter central. Grew up in Capo Beach (next to San Clemente).

I've been biking for a little over 3 years and I'm just now getting off of an 8 month hiatus and trying to get back into shape. I've done a couple of local rides the last two Sundays at Aliso Woods and Laguna Wilderness. I'm hoping to do at least 2-3 mtb rides per week to get back into the swing of things. I work in San Clemente two days per week and am going to try riding the single track down there at lunch; then I want to try to get into longer group rides at least once per week on the weekend and or a shorter ride during the week after work once the days get a little longer.

I look forward to riding with you guys and gals and having a beer or two or three or four afterwards

If you see me out and about say hello! I ride a black XL 5-spot and carry about 30lbs of tools and first-aid crap on my back because I often ride solo. If you ever need aspirin, a leatherman, salt tablets, or an emergency sleeping bag you know who to look for

You will fit in nice around here

I live in San Clemente and can do a night ride after work if you want.

Besides you are Homer (Turner owner) so you can't be too bad

I also work in SC about two days a week........i just happen to go in to work for five days a week. There is a small group of us that ride most week days from 11:30 to 12:30 during our lunch and you are certainly welcome to join us for that.
I'm riding a white Intense 5.5
