Maybe like noon so people can ride after church if they go to church?

noon rides during the summer are a bad idea and you're no noob, you have like 20 bikes

I bought the green turtle at Switchback Cyclery in Orange for Ann (Slowspokes). It's located right off Chapman Ave, close to the 55 fwy. It was the last one they had so you may want to call ahead or try other bike shops in the area.

Looks like a great time wish I could have been there.

The other rider was me. Thanks Chris for the Co2 and help with the flat. And thanks Sean for waiting. Sorry Tk for making you climb back 3 times, Sean and I were waiting for ya, until we figured out that you had taken the fireroad. Anyways good to meet everyone.

I thought Nam heard me say I was switching over to the fireroad from the single track Sorry about that.

Glad I could help with the flat.

It was good to put a face to a lot of names and I am glad that everyone had a good time and no one got hurt or lost.

Big props go out to Darin and Jake, Traci and CarbonMan and Shugamama and of course, Nam for sweeping.

It was good to meet Numbcheck & Wife, you guys are doing great and thanks for coming out.

Tee, it's always a pleasure to ride with you, glad you could make it out.

I want to get a Panda one... I have a pink ducky I got from work (breast cancer awareness) but it doesn't make noise...

Er, sorry for the OT.

Looks like a great ride! I was dumb and didn't pack bike shoes, so no biking for us last weekend...

[TooManyTacos]

Man, I bet it was lots of fun. I was out of commission for the weekend; I'll try to make the next beginner ride.

[BandMan]

A bit late but finally having time to post. It was fun meeting everyone and getting to know the faces with the names.
Bandman is Sam who was there with wife Yuka and her black hardtail Marin. I had the outdated blue trek Y's which will be a thing of the past since a new ride will be here hopefully by this week!!! Just wanted to thank Traci for making this possible along with Nam, Anthony and the Carbonman team for watching out for us. Was this a group ride or a STR Parade?

[tkblazer]

yo joe... what ride you gonna get man?

[BandMan]

Well...Glad you asked Nam!
I got the Yeti 575 Carbon Enduro Race and it's about time! Neil and crew hooked me up at Adrenaline Bikes. Man are they patient folks. I keep switching from one thing to another until I finally just ended up with the Race Kit and just swapped out the Race Face Deus to XT cranks. I might have to take your offer about riding at the Luge. I'll keep checking the posts in the meantime.

Oh, by the way. Joe is Mr. Dokebi with the grey Kona. Sam is Bandman.

[tkblazer]

ok sorry sam, your other post was somewhat confusing

575 eh... sweet... another yeti tribe member... i'm up for a weekday after work luge ride... i can normally crank it out in about an hour on the beast i ride, but i'm never really in a rush.

Sorry I missed the newbie ride on Saturday! I rode tonight though and it was great, had a blast. (Thursday) Maybe I can catch the next newbie!

[Jordansrealm]
