Holy Jim Trabuco Loop
Chip aka TalksWithFoxes and I surveyed Holy Jim and Trabuco today in preparation for next week's (1-19) trail work with the Warriors Society.
In general HJ is in good shape as is Trabuco. What is not in good shape is the Main Divide. It has suffered from the recent rains. The tunnel on lower Holy Jim needs a little work... IMG_6824.jpg Here's some other spots on HJ that need some some work... IMG_6827.jpg IMG_6828.jpg IMG_6829.jpg IMG_6830.jpg Taking a break IMG_6835.jpg IMG_6838.jpg These should be fixed by VQ courtesy of The Warriors Society. Here's Chip on Main Divide. IMG_6839.jpg Unfortunately Chip had two flats. Flat #1 IMG_6842.jpg Flat #2 IMG_6843.jpg IMG_6844.jpg Beautiful views with Mt Baldy in the background. IMG_6845.jpg We saw alot of traffic on Holy Jim and a little as we were descending Trabuco. Conditions were excellent and the weather was magnificent. The creeks were flowing very full. We ran into Calvin (aka Superman) on top of Trabuco. He and other Warriors had done trail work earlier in the day. Calvin was enroute to trail run down Bell Ridge. Yes, you heard me! Bell Ridge! IMG_6846.jpg What a great time to ride the Santa Anas! There is a new slide on Trabuco just below the existing slide in the shale section but it's not too bad. IMG_6847.jpg Token handlebar shot IMG_6848.jpg The final pay-off...Margaritas at Rose Canyon Cantina! Priceless! IMG_6852.jpg Anyone interested in helping out with the trail work next weekend should contact the Warriors Society at countingcoup@warriorssociety.org KeepsWhatHappens Last edited by LBmtb; 01-12-2008 at 06:55 PM.

Grasshopper John,
Hopefully, we'll have a good turn-out for the trail work next Sat and have thoses trails in a-1 shape by VQ.
Why did Chip have so many flats on Paine Divide?????

Second was a faulty tube at the base of the stem. Morale of the story: don't buy cheap tubes!!! And carry more than one on long and/or remote rides! KeepsWhatHappens |
