Default East coast transplant enjoying the SoCal mountain biking!

Hello! I'm glad I found this site.
I moved out from the Boston area about 2 months ago. So far living here is a blast and the mountain biking is better than anywhere else in the country. Hopefully, thanks to you guys, I can find some new trails, new friends and get some great advice to become a better and faster rider!

You've come to the right place. You have some local groups out your way who ride regularly, but STR covers all of So Cal with impromptu and informal rides on a regular basis. Enjoy the fun and

Thanks! It looks like the heat will be pretty intense in the summer. I'm planning on sticking to early morning and evening rides for the most part. That being said, I'll take this dry heat over east coast humidity anytime!
