Tustin loop night ride 6 pm (or so)

[DISCO]

I have been doing so much commuting lately I am beginning to forget what dirt feels like. Forgive me for the short notice, I am sure most of you have plans but am very used to doing this ride solo. I will get ready and out the door in 15 minutes so if you are down speak up or forever hold thy piece.

Happy Trails

There is a Tustin "loop"

[DISCO]

Uh huh, but I only give the route to those willing to improve it. Hopefully by summer we can have a regular ride on Tuesdays like the one in fully. There are one , two , or three hour variations with an increasing flavor of difficulty. Tell you what though its only worth riding to, if you are loading up the bike in the car there are funner spots. But from mi casa at culver and the five, paradise.

Yup, but we here at the shop call it Collarbone loop. Your's truly broke his the first time we did a group ride out there....hence the name.

Any chance of someone posting a route for this? Why is it so secretive?

One more reason to call out for recruits, I ought to move the time to seven so the local shop guys can get in on it. That is one of the reasons for the lack of presence on the fully ride. Well that and the distance, but from my house the train gets there in 20 minutes for six bucks. Too bad the bus ride home takes nearly three hours....

Culver and the 5 huh... lived there for about um 15 years... everything I remember there is mostly bike path that also has alot of pavement mixed? Or are you riding the fireroad behind Harvard park?

What's the terrain? May be up for improving, if it's worth it. But if it's not worth diriving to . . .

I explained that it could use some more work in spots, but more importantly there would be conflicts with other user groups during the day. No one has GPS'ed it that I know of but that does not mean it has not happened. Besides there is nothing monumental about riding it, it is simply an alternative to the county parks which close at dusk.

Well have fun on your mystery trail. I am personally annoyed/boggled that you are keeping something that even yourself says isnt that great such a secret. Enjoy!

It's actually in the foothills, but as stated I loathe driving to trail heads so instead warm up on streets With little traffic.You can hop a bus from my house to within a 1/4 mile of the dirt, but usually I am not that lazy. Harvard park is surrounded by development and so is the old base. I am offering a free tour right now, but may stop to brush or dig as needed. Solo there is only so much I can do, but as a team I could see something great emerging. The problem with mapping is that it is not on a map and way points are indistinct. Currently there is a rut I will work on that would present a problem to the uninitiated, so I don't want the responsibility of making it a double collarbone trail.

See above.

Sweet. I'm sick of having to drive to Fullerton or Rancho Santa Margarita.
