Sure! I did forget that she only has one brake. As said, though, she could go a little slower on the downhills (like that will happen!). For the most part, brakes aren't really used that much on the loop.

I also forgot that she doesn't have gears, and the gear ratio she has will be a bit challenging on a couple hills for her. But you know what they say, that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Tomorrow will be the maiden voyage, or break-in ride, of my new 4X bike (well, the frame, anyway).

I am sure I will be cutting off a section with a new rider or two....
If Julia gets too tired, she can join us!
I would be more than willing to swap bikes with her if she gets tiredl.

Bring the bike kid!!!

Ya'll enjoy

Forks are still busted. If anyone has a fork I can slap on for the ride, or a spare Large bike (~19 or ~20), let me know!

What size and brake mounts do you need? I can pull my 130mm Fox TALAS (IS disc brake mounts only) off my bike for you to borrow.

Take the 5 towards Aliso Viejo exit Alicia Parkway and go south for about 4 or 5 miles I think. Turn right into the park. The name of the street is Awma. I believe it's call Aliso and Woods Park or something like that.

It turns out that I won't be able to go to Aliso, so I'll see you guys at the Fully Loop instead.

Elvia, I would love to do an Aliso ride but I think it is a little late to make that change.
