Default Marshall Canyon; Sunday, July 3rd

Who: All Mountain bikers

What: *XC ride; 10, 15, or 22 mile options

When: Sunday, July 3rd @ 7 AM

Where: Marshall Canyon in La Verne (directions: exit Fruit ave. off the 210 just east of the 57 , go north on Fruit to Baseline Ave., at baseline go west (left), at Wheeler ave. go north (right), go north on Wheeler approx. 1 mile to Oak Mesa School / Park on right side of street and go to parking lot)

Why?: Why not? let's have fun and ride somewhere different

Trail Comments: i pretty much do this trail up to 2 times a week, Marshall Canyon itself is a 5 mile climb with a very fast descent 5 mile descent with windy fireroad and rollercoaster type singletrack with multiple stream crossings. it's a very fun trail with lots of shade, add 5 more miles if you want to add the Claremont Wilderness Park loop, or another 7 miles if you want to climb up to Potato Mountain which would test your climbing endurance (9.5 mile climb from bottom of Marshall Canyon)

additional info: http://www.socalmtb.com/socal/trails/marshall.htm

if you have any questions email me.
i'll also be up there on Saturday July 2nd @ 5:30AM

Just got back from the ER, so I don't think I'll be going...


I'll try to see if I can head your way another day... maybe even for another ride in marshal canyon?

haha.. nothing exciting.

Pretty extreme allergic reaction to (not definite yet) penecilin.

I've been taking antibiotics since June 10 for strep throat, so it's probably not penecilin.

Just got some nasty IVs and was good to go (after some 5 hours)... still a little drugged up though. Tried to ride around the neighborhood and ended up on the ground. Apparently my "motor skills" aren't up to par yet ...

I'll be riding by monday hopefully ( [-o< )... just some light stuff though.

oh well...
I'll be wishing I was out riding with you guys tomorrow.
