Trabuco is known to take many tubes/tires out and with a big group I think that ride would just take longer than I'd like it to.

Mike, I'm gonna have to join you going up Skyline sometime so I can end the ride on my side of the mountain.
Rob, I'll be doing it again on Tuesday. I'd love the company as I got to admit riding for over an hour by yourself,in the dark, gets a little on the nerves. I guess I'll get used to it, but those damn noises in the bushes just aren't cool. I refuse to turn my head and look as I don't want to see those beady red eyes looking back at me. Last night as I hit the straight away to pedal out to my car I noticed that my Minewt light was missing. Shiat, I was bummed. I thought I'll just ride up a little ways and see if I could find it. I did, about halfway up. So what was supposed to be an easy ride turned into a pretty good climbfest for me.

Yeah, doesn't it look like your going to be riding off the edge? The city views on the Corona side are very nice.

You should turn your head and look to see. You never know, you might be the second person to have a kangaroo sighting in the Santa Ana's.

Good Times last night everyone. I felt pretty good climbing up to Beeks and looking back down the canyon seeing all the lights scurry up was cool. We should keep up the Tues night training rides, cept the big ones for me. I'm so slow it'll be 1am before I finish.

In N Out was most welcomed.

Good times indeed. That #1 Animal-Style at 10pm gave me nightmares, but was totally worth it. Same deal next Tuesday would be great.

I don't think we can make it over to Blackstar, but maybe I'll convince Justin to do a Skyline ride at some point...

Lets post this up as a regular event....super charged division go up blackstar, down skyline , back up and then down blackstar.
Modified division go up skyline, down blackstar to meet the group, turn around, go up and then back down skyline.
Stock division up blackstar, drink a beer at beeks and then head back down.

I'll put up the ride today and I am liking that "stock" division

I am in the Top Alchohol division, go up Blackstar, drop the load of beers off at Beeks, then go on to Sierra Peak, back to Beeks before the Supercharged division gets back there and drinks all the beer. Then back down Blackstar without getting a flat.

I will be in the Modified Top Alcohol Division; meaning that I will ride from the gate to Beeks and 'modify (drink)' the beers you drop off. And then head back down.

Pencil me in that division unless "Modified Top Alcohol Super Division" gets added which is the same as previously mentioned but there is a shot of Don Julio at the beginning of the ride and at Beeks!

Maybe if I had a shot of Don Julio I might not be so freaked out by the noises in the dark. Then again maybe if I had a shot of Don Julio I might go try to find out what those noises are.

When we rode Vail with EC and Big HOuse the two of them and Justin took off, and Luke was waiting for another guy.. so I was kind of out in the dark alone. And Vail is all open. There really aren't any trees near the trail at all (burned in a fire in like 99?).

So I'm climbing along, trying to catch up and I hear this low growl-ey sound.. I yelled Justin twice, no response.. speed up... I ended up having to hike a bike.. it was just a quad or dirt bike.
