Yes, its not SART but for quite a few of us it was a first and it was a blast!
Thanks to all that made, 22 when we left the lot and 24 when we got back  .The trails were killer, the plant growth was ridiculous  and the group was a riot..a true group ride with the usual cheering, jeering, hill climb challenging and trash talking!Here's some pix from the ride: "Big Balls" Hubbard and Art  Joe and Sam  Jason and Nam  Yes that is a big front wheel and No those are not mustache bars  The gang before the ride  Cool shot of the group heading down the switchbacks and over the bridges    Nam a lama  Pugz looking good  Gary leading em thru  The conga line  Regroup  Mikey sporting the floral and Eric looking serious!  Look who we ran into on the trail  Yes, its Andy  Group shot  For Bret and Allison, some "token" handlebar shots      Good times as always! Thanks Gary for leading us around and thanks to everyone for a great ride!!

Great ride today, One of the best trails I've ever ridden and despite some falls I had a blast. Thanks again for telling me to do the ride Neil.

Thanks for the RR, Neil... the ride looked like a blast! I was a short ways off at Caspers with my girlfriend, killing my old Manitou forks coming down Star Rise.

I poached, and got busted

Yes...
Thanks everybody for the ride today....just enough tempo to not overwork my lungs after everything they have been thru with the bug. Could have done without the foliage but my tick inspection came up empty
kona dupee, keep at it....soon you will learn to stay upright...young grasshopper. Looking forward to the next ride......maybe I should go look for some Irish attire for this weekend Till next time....stay "tickless"

I'd rather be climbing...
|
Imagine my surprise...
I had no clue that the original locale had been cancelled, and simply showed up in San Clemente with a buddy to try and forget the sad fact that I couldn't make it all the way up to SART.
Imagine my surprise when 20 STR peeps come flying down the hill. SCORE! Great ride all. It's been a while since I've heard that much smack-talking in one day (with a lot of it directed at me--and rightly so. "Damn Dan, you've spent more time on your back today than your sister does at a frat party!"). P.S. We need a Hawaiian shirt intervention for Mike (1fg rider). He's starting to infect others.

Awesome plan B! Very challenging on the SS. 10 miles and I felt worked! Definitely a great place to ride with one gear. I did my best to clear out the low hanging branch by hammering out of the saddle and knocking it with my head
As Neil said, "how does the shortest guy in the group hit his head?"

Nice turnout at SCST
Well we started off with 22 riders, lost 1 due to mechanicals and picked up 3 along the way. Great trail although the brush was crazy tall. Some places it was chest high and you couldn't see trail beneath you. Just hold on and hope there's no rut, root or rock ahead.
Drive down was foggy but turned out really nice before we rolled out  Jason#1 in front riding his recently converted SS  Jason#2  Joe popping out through the brush  Camp Pendelton in the background  Sam grinding up on his rigid SS 29er  Gratuitous handlebar shot  Jason #3 (Pugz) with some war wounds. Note the shredded shorts too.  Last regroup before heading back to the street.  Going back out for more   Gary didn't get enough of workout on the trail so he decided to add some crunches before finishing up.  Only 10 miles today, but still a workout with the climbs and brush hampering our progress. Great time hanging with the STR bubbs. Pugz did great today and Art finally made an appearance after the Rwanda ride. Looking forward to our original plan of riding SART. |
