Really wanted to join this, but couldn't get the bike together in time.
Looks like a great time!

What a great ride.

I was supposed to be somewhere else on Sunday, but ate (and drank) too much Saturday night. It was a lot easier to sleep in and do a local ride. I called a friend and asked if he was interested in riding San Clemente. He was, so we met at 10. He let me know there was a big'o group of riders ahead of us so the trails would be crowded. I soon discovered it was an STR "newbie" ride. The chase was on!
It was great getting to meet some new faces and run into the gang out there. Thanks for the fun.
We missed a few of you at Pizza-Port!!!

...out for a Sunday morning ride in the local hills and came up to a bunch of guys having waaayyy too much fun out in the green hills of San Clemente...and saw a couple of familiar faces from a couple of rides last month.

Thanks for letting me join in the fun, it was great meeting some new folks and riding with you!

Sorry to have missed this ride... would have loved to see & ride with you again ... unfortunately, other pressing family matters ... I'll PM you.

If you mean these (they are On-One Midge bars)


Beers, not gears so there are no shifters.
They were an absolute hoot to ride on that day since I could not see where I was going most of the time and by the time the turns came up, one was already quite comitted to a particular line

Hey guys here are some pics. Great riding with all you guys. I wish I could have brought more beers but ahh I only had room for two Stellas. I will tell you what that beer tasted soo damn good when that sun started to come out but I think I may have had a little too much because I was getting the knarley burps. For your viewing pleasure

Nothing but the best for you bro!
I knew you would want some handlebar shots!

[hoovermd]

Ah yes, there were a few gearies who wanted to shar e in the SS lovin'

I went thru a few sets until I settled on the Midge. There is something called a Gary bar which is similar to the Mary bar but there isn't any drop on them.

Jury is still out on the drops. Love 'em at Aliso, and El Moro. Just not sure about the technical and blind) single tracks like we saw.
