Default Show me the way to Marshall Canyon

I am a weekend warrior who is interested in riding Marshall Canyon this Saturday at 8:00am. I am new to the area and I would appreciate if someone could show me the way. The pictures from your 3/22 ride look great!!! I can’t believe you had 100+ riders there! I am bummed that I had to miss it. Who’s up for reliving it with a newbie?

PM speckledtrout, davidB, CC, or joetruth. They know the area well and may be available for a ride.

If you want to do it backwards, start in Claremont, ride up Burbank, down Marshall and then back I think I can arrange that. Just give me an extra hour, start at 9:00. Let me know.

If you don't go with him ^^^, once you find the trail (easy enough if you follow geoladders route) it's pretty easy to make a good ride out of it. There's very few junctions, but always stay to your left and you'll eventually climb a fireroad that leads you to a park/trail sign they just put back up. Then it's just a matter of turning around back to the car, or to keep going up.

Riding Bonelli Park this Saturday Morning (Near Marshall Canyon) If you want to join my friend and I. We are meeting at the Park and Ride parking lot on the Via Verde/Raging Waters Dr. Exit off of the 57 (just north of the 10 fwy) The parking lot is on the West side of the Fwy. Driving a gold Honda Accord with a Black Spec. Rockhopper ties to the trunk. We are meeting at 8 am and doing the Bonellu race couse. I know its not Marshall Canyon, but its close by.

If you listen to David, 2 things are guaranteed to happen...

1. You'll get lost.
2. You'll crash.

GLTY!


Did you all know Davidb is the little brother of Stevieb?

If you still want to do this rather than Bonelli or something else, head up Mills Avenue. Park @ the lower parking area on the right just past the fire station and Mt. Baldy Road. I will be riding my red Felt and STR jersey. By the way I am there most weekends when there isn't something better going on, so if you want to do another ride, we could do this another time. Just a thought. Anyone else going to be around with nothing better to do? Feel free to show up.

Thanks for the invite. If things don't work out with 32-12, I'll met up with you guys. I've never been to Bonelli Park.

Hey 53-12,

Thanks again for offering to show me Marshall Canyon, but I think I'll check out Bonelli Park this Saturday. I've never heard of it and it is close by. I am sorry if I may have caused any inconvenience.

looks like no one else....

anywho, if you're hitting up bonelli park, there's a map floating around here somewhere. It's basically a scan of the map Incycle has at their shop. One side is the Marshall Canyon / La verne /Webb Canyon area, the other is bonelli park. With all the trails outlined and stuff
