Welcome. If you're a true newbie, those trails there are a bit more than you would want to start with. The climbs are tough for most newbs.

Welcome! If you are really a newbie and don't mind traveling a little here is the next newbie ride...


Marshall Canyon Newbie Ride

It is a great way to meet people and a good way to learn from them as well.

As a newbie, I would recommend you hit the Fullerton Loop. Also, check out Peter's Canyon, Irvine Regional Park and the wash at Santiago Oaks. Those canyon rides you mentioned may be a little too much for you.

Hey Dood Welcome. You should check out El Morro off of Newport Coast Hwy up Ridge park. I ride up their all the time. I may ride their today I can show you around if you like? Whatever you don't feel comfortable riding down just walk it.

You'll find lots of support around here on everything...being a new dad, new rider, beer recommendations...we have it all and then some.

Welcome to a great site. I'm gonna be a new father in a couple weeks. You should come down to the Sunday morning Fullerton Loop ride, it is a good time and very newbie friendly. Look forward to seeing you out on the trails.

Sunday Morning Fully Loop -- 8:00 am
