Default Sycamore Canyon (Riverside), Saturday 9 AM

Come ride with Chewyeti (Aaron), onlyontwo (Andy), and I at Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park.

Where: Park at the Bank Of America located here.

When: 9 AM, roll by 9:15 AM hopefully

Thankfully Andy knows the park so he can guide us to the good stuff.

Sycamore has lots of singletrack, stream crossings, short climbs, and all around fun trails. Nothing too technical as far as I've seen.

We will probably ride for a few hours and get in around 20 miles. No official route is planned, just planning to have fun.

Sam, scout out a good route for a newbie ride there. Need a good "B" route and an "A" route. For example, the "B" route should be something you would like to take Linda on. Thanks.

No problem Gene. When we rode there on Monday I immediately thought that it would be a good place for a newbie ride where everyone would have fun.

Oh sure - now I'm off the bike for a while you come out.

PM Reed (Reedster) or Oz (Omarandsara). They ride there all the time and have a great route that takes you through Little Moab,Terry's Wall and Fenceline.

Team Dirty Work rides out there at 8am every Saturday.

When I get some free time, I'll take you guy's up to Box Springs Park and have some real fun.

BTW Sam, the Juicy's are working great. I tore them down, replaced all the seals and put them on the SS 29er. Thanks!

Greg

I'll be there.

I plan on bringing the full squish just in case. But, on the off chance that anyone reads this before the morning, let me know if it is fully rigid SS friendly. I've never ridden Sycamore...

Dan, there are some rocky descents that I wouldn't want to do on full rigid. The trails are mostly smooth, but not like CHSP. I rode there Monday with my Air 9 and had a blast.

Full squish it is then.

I also don't want you SSing to the top of the hills and waiting for me on each climb. This way you have to climb like the rest of us geared humans.

See you tomorrow.

You certainly won't mind having the FS. There are plenty of rocks and bumps and rockstacles where the FS is nice to have.

It is also a great place for the singlespeed and rigid is fine too. Andy (Onlyontwo) rides it frequently on his SS, but I would bet he has his squishy tomorrow.

Enjoy.
