Default Chiquita Ridge Trail Angel Ride 6-24-08
Awesome ride tonight with 19 riders coming out to ride. Thanks all for showing up and making it fun. Since we didn't have alot of daylight we didn't get a group shot in so I'll name off the riders. See if you can spot them in the first photo/

Gene aka Genusmtbkr5
Vickie aka vickie (Trail Angel)
Debbie B. aka db250f (Trail Angel)
Donna aka CAdownhilldoll (Trail Angel)
Steve
Rich aka RichieRich
Eric aka EricFoltz
Gregg aka OMR
Rachel aka Wrecker (Trail Angel)
John
Sarah (Trail Angel)
Todd
Colin
Rob aka Alpine Rob
Tom Jones
Keith aka kparsons
Matt aka ocrider
Lynn (Trail Angel)

What better than to be able to ride with some of the coolest people and best riders on sweet trails at sunset with beautiful cool weather. If only we'd had more time!

Great times at the Beachfire after the ride. Wish all of you could have stayed for the fun at dinner.

Looking forward to the next one!

Here some photos...

Riders milling about gearing up to ride.


Heading out.


We found a smoldering fire on Waterworks so Gene and Eric put it out for good.


Heading up Tijeras Creek Trail.


Trabuco Creek Road.


OMR was the only one to follow me up the HAB route.


Re-group heading to Chiquita Ridge.


Along Burma Road.


Burma Road.


Waiting to go down Red Sign we got buzzed by the fuzz...they were probably stunned by the size of our group...or maybe just checking out the Trail Angels.


Lynn at the bottom of Rats Back Right.


OMR and Eric Foltz after coming down RRR.


Eric on Burma Road heading toward Oso Trail.


Rob aka Alpine Rob on Oso Drop.

Thanks for leading a great summer's eve ride. Hard to know what was better, the trails or the riders! Unfortunately, I could not stay for the after ride eats... I had a dog with a full bladder and empty stomack waiting for me at home. Looking forward to another ride in the wilds of Chiquita Ridge...

BTW: Good job on the names, John!

I decided to call off sick tonight so I can join in on this ride, looks like I picked a good day to use my sick card. Lots of fun with great folks. Thanks John, for setting this up and leading. Always a pleasure to ride with fellow STR members, WS and T/A's. Good times at Beach fire as well.
Now for the pics. Captions to come later.
