Default RR: Chiquito Sunday

Me, Gary(SirCrashalot) and TJ(Sasquatch9billion) met at the Candy store at 10 AM and then loaded up the bikes onto my GF's Corolla and she drove us to the top(she was going to Elsinore anyways )

We came down San Juan from Blue Jay campground, down Viejo Tie and then down Chiquito and up the bottom half of lower San Juan Loop trail.

It was a blast, in my opinion, a little more fun than just doing SJT.

The trail was in perfect condition and so was the weather. Can't wait to do this ride again.

Nice pics! We considered doing this, but wasn't sure we'd have time... and, I didn't feel like getting up early.

About how long was it?

We got there at 10, took about 30 minutes to load up the car and drive to Blue Jay, and got back to the cars at 1:30. We stopped a lot for pics and to take in the Scenery.

Probably could have made it back to the car by 12:30 if we went non stop, which is doable considering it's mostly downhill.

That dog was with the Hikers. Quite a bit of Hikers out today but they were all nice and we of course yielded.

Next time you should try climbing from the lot across from the candy store by taking the San Juan loop trail. That is a very fun chunky downhill. There are a couple HAB's on Chiquito but not having to deal with the shuttle makes it worth it.
