RR: O'Neill Tijeras Creek Arroyo Trabuco Newbie Ride

[DasBrink]

That was a great ride, I had so much fun that i took my gf and my bud back on sunday and ran the loop again! It was humid, but nice.

Big thanks to everyone who showed up. With a HUGE thanks to the brew master! Your "refreshments" are so good i think you need a tip jar next to your matrix!
I got to bs with a bunch of cool folks and i got approximately 267% better just from riding beside dino and the horse.
And another huge thanks to everyone who let me try out your bikes. It was like a used car lot full of Ferrari's! Some seriously nice people with some dangerously nice bikes. Good ride everyone!

and dino, we can just keep the lunch debacle under our hats

Well, in that case you have to tell us all about it.

I've got pics. See Dino Brown give up his beloved Iron Horse for a Turner!



I've got videos. See Gene become one with the trail!



The videos are the unedited .avi files straight from my camera so they're kinda large. You can download them instead of waiting for them to load in your browser.

Feel free to upload/email pics to my album!!

Another wonderful group ride for STR and another great job on leading the trail and event by Gene the Machine. This is one of my favorite trails around OC for many reasons I am sure the people that participated now understand. You have a little bit of everything on this trail. I even found some new sections I hadn't ridden before so that was a nice surprise. I hope more people want to ride here and if you do I will definitely try and join in! For those of you that have only been on this trail one time you should also try it in the reverse direction and see what you think. Either way its a fun ride!

No thanks needed. As always, I had fun riding with everyone.

I hope my few photos and vids added to everyone else's will allow everyone a chance to remember this awesome day in the future.

Pics and vids are a great way to reinforce the memories and stories told.

I've been tossing around the idea of getting a digital SLR to replace my old Minolta photo SLR to start taking some really good shots. We'll see...
