It's gonna be *crowded* tomorrow!! If anyone has a bell, please bring it! Unfortunately I don't have one

Hopefully it'll be shuttle-rider free (NTTAWWT).

I missed it, i got to the candy store around 815AM, i dont know if thats the meeting place as i dont see too many cars. drove around, i even got all the way up to Blue jay camp ground saw four vehicles parked.
so i spent all morning driving figuring out how to even get to the trail head.

there's always next time.

Well that was fun... Sorry I was so late. I had no clue where to go until I got up to the San Jaun loop parking lot and took a second to look at the map. "oh crap, its looks like its by the fire station, ^%$." By the time I was rolling it was 8:38am on the GPS.

Fun day for my first ride up San Jaun. Met a lot of new people.

Great ride this morning!

Considering the lack of moisture in the soil....the trail (including the upper loop) was in great shape.

The weather was also perfect.

Thanks to the Supermann's for hosting another great ride! That was our first time riding up. I had a blast. Rog struggled on the climbs and just wasn't feeling it today. Thanks for the great encouragement on the uphill and letting me go 1st on the downhill. I have to admit that it was even sweeter having earned it by climbing up!!! STR rules!!! Have a happy Turkey day!!!

yeah, the parking lot was a little hard to find if you're looking for a "hot springs road" like the directions said. I initially drove about 10miles more up the mountain before i turned around

once there, that was nuts!

my bike was awesome on the downhill. a little too awesome that led to a crash or two when going a little too fast. My front brake squeels pretty badly now so I have to figure out how to fix that. I'm so sore and I have to leave the house now for dinner in Palmdale, but i'll put up the few pictures i took when i get back.

I have a sore scraped up shoulder, a forearm that's swolen so much it looks broken, and a slight headache from using my helmet primarily to cushion the fall. That and my knee is swollen and bruised though I don't remember hitting that on the way down.

That was a blast. good meeting everyone today!


p.s. I didn't care too much for all those bushes either.

Great riding with everyone today. The climb wasn't that bad as far as traffic. It was some sight seeing everyone on the switchbacks. Bummed I didn't bring my camera. I just woke up from a much needed nap. Now it's time to eat...,again. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
