Riddle me this STR:

What do you get when you mix 16 Peeps, Bikes, Dirt, Great Weather, Multiple Water Crossing, Steeps, Fast Decents, Jungle Single Track, Red Cups and "Innards" on a day others are working

A mutha f’n good time!!!

Thanks to all who joined in. Great seeing some old friends i haven't ridden with in a while and always nice to put some of the user names to new faces

Not sure what i did to vid cam but was on pic burst mode and not vid so just got alot of arse shots

I did get a bit of footie from one of the many stream crossings.

Again thanks to all who joined in!!!!

Adam, great ride as always. Was a blast to see everyone again! Thanks for the red cup contents... damn good stuff!!

dirtyjeff · 07-03-2009, 05:03 PM

Adam, thanks for setting this up and for filling the cups

Very cool peeps and a great ride. thanks to all for the fun ride

mtnkitty · 07-03-2009, 05:19 PM

Oh great! Of course you show the pics of me being the ONLY one not crossing that stream!

I swear I know how to ride a bike!

But what a FUN ride! When I first saw all the people signed up to ride, I thought, "Uhhhh, errrr, slacker paced? Really??" In the end, couldn't have asked for a better group of riders, weather, or trail on which to have a group beer fest ride.

I say we need more holiday rides. What new holidays can we come up with?

Thanks Adam, Chris, and Teresa/Bernadette/Genny (just for being female and fun), and everyone else!

Cool getting to meet you all. Next time, Chris, I'll try not to kill you.

TRJ · 07-04-2009, 05:52 AM

Absolutely great ride, great weather, great people. Thanks everyone for fixing my brake after the first hill. Didn't seem like the 18 miles we went. Couldn't ask for a better day or better people to spend it with.

Schecky · 07-04-2009, 11:58 AM

I agree with all of the above.
Beautiful day, GREAT people, and fantastic trails!
Very fun ride.
Thanks to Adam for setting it up!

Bummed I missed you guys. I got there right at 9am and ran into 2 men that said they never saw any groups of people. Weird. So I thought you left earlier and I decided to start riding... maybe I would catch up. I asked people on the trail if they saw a group of people riding but they said they only saw solo riders and a few couples riding. After about about 6 miles into it I realized you must have gone clockwise on the route and I went counterclockwise down Arroyo Trabuco. Sorry I missed ya! looks like you had a ton of fun... next friday?

I almost missed the group! I parked in the Day Use lot on the left right after you turn into the Park and saw no one. But as I was getting my gear together, I could hear a group of people over by the entrance of Arroyo Trabuco trail, and rode over to find all the STR bubs I was looking for, and that was about 5 minutes after 9.

Great ride all! Thanks for a great start to a three-day weekend of rides!

Don't know if they went clock or counter but I do know they didn't go the way of the TOAD easy ride....that was the direction I took and the "short cut" allowed me to catch up....

Does the clock on your GPS change during DST automatically?...if not you were there right at 10.....lol
