Holy Jim --> Main Divide and Down Trubucco On Sun Sept 25

[mikecsulb]

On Sunday Sept 25th 8:00am.
This should be enough time for people to make plans to come on this ride. This is a really fun loop with somewhat a lot of climbing but the payoff on coming down Trabuco is much worth the effort. By this time the weather should be nice and cool. I can guarantee that this ride will be a blast especially if a lot of riders show up! If your interested leave a post so we know who can come.

I may take it easy this weekend and just play around at Aliso. I need to take the Heckler down Lynx and Rock-It, and maybe 5-Oaks.

I'll be Hawaii (Kauai)

I need a weekend off, actually I think my bike needs it more than I do....
Chain keeps breaking and rear shocks leaks air!!!!!

Added it to the calender. Can't come myself though . . . work Sundays.

I can't make it. I'll be up in Whistler. Unfortunately I'll be there for work and it doesn't look like I'll be able to ride while I'm there.

I'll be taking time off work for this ride, so I'm definitely in. It will be my first time riding this trail, so what should I expect, and bring? How long is it and how much time does it usu. take?

Yah Duke Im glad you can make it?

First do you have a SUV/ Truck because the road is really tore up and rocky ? Its a lot worse than a fire road. You should bring a bike pump extra tubes and lots of water (100 oz) and something to snack on. As far as the trail it self.. Expect a lot of single track climbing up Holy Jim and loose fire road climb up main divide Then a fast technical and fun singletrack down trabucco. Other than that it's a really good workout and is for the average rider. Expect 3-4 hours. If you have any Q"S P.M. me Glad you can make it!

Cool. Looks like I'm going to have to go out and get a bigger camelbak, which I have needed to do for awhile anyways. My current one is the traditional 2L camelbak which doesn't really have any storage space. I think I'm going to get the blowfish. As far as having a truck I drive a civic, so I guess I'm going to be parking at the entrance and riding in. \/

Holy jim and then down trabucco this sunday morning. the more the better! This will be an awesome ride.

Sounds fun, I may join ya...or I may just stay a lil' closer to home, not sure.

[mikecsulb]

Lets make this ride balls out and just do it. The satisfaction you'll get after this ride is awesome. If you have never been down trabucco than I suggest you come.

Trying to clear my weekend so I can meet you guys. I will hopefully know by Fri.

[ECOdork]

Can someone post a short description of parking and the route?
I will do HJ before too long, but I just got back to town and have been so swamped with work over the past month that I'm really in no condition to hit a big-daddy like Holy Jim....

There really are NO hills in TX (at least where I rode)!

I'm looking forward to scraping off the barnacles of work/research with some good ol'fashioned SoCal trial riding!!!

...and it's a THICK layer of barnacles!

I hope to get out there with some of you cats!

[Ladd Jasper]

Tex--welcome back! Hope to ride with you sometime during your stay. How long will you be here this time?

Mike--got your message. Unfortunately I'm working this Sunday and won't be able to make it. Next Sunday is wide open, though. Thinking maybe Harding to Santiago Peak or something similar.

[ECOdork]

Thanks Ladd!

I should be here until August! I was planning on heading back to TX in mid-Oct for a week or 2 to tie up an experiment that we have going on down in Corpus Christi...but it looks like Rita may finish it for us!

[dukethenuke]

Sorry guys I thought I was going to get Sunday off, but as of 4:30 today I'm forced to work. I'm still going to go riding though, but I guess I'm going to hit the trail before 7 (6:30ish) that way I can make it to work by 11.

Okay so I know the trail starts about 5 miles down the road, but can anyone the me any landmarks to make turns at and stuff. If anyone wants to go with me early hit me up too.

Thanks ahead of time and sorry to the group going. (I hate only working on weekends. On the other hand its nice cause I don't work during school days, but then I can't plan shit on the weekends.

[TURNERob]

You better be hauling ass to make it to work by 11. If you ride in Trabuco Creek rd., that is a 26-27 mile ride to do HJ/Trabuco.

[mikecsulb]
