A lot of people have been asking for a newbie ride at Aliso so here it is. The ride is going to be difficult however we are going to regroup frequently and mock all the show offs that clear the climbs easily.

Time: 8:00 am
Here is a link to the trail head where we are going to meet.

We are now meeting at MILF Park
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...4&ie=UTF8&z=17

If you want to go super fast this ride is not for you. If you wanna have a great time, meet some great people and have fun this is the ride for you.


I am open to ideas on the route, I was thinking Cholla-Top of the World-Meadows. I know that's not the easiest route but I think it would a lot of fun and provide a feeling of accomplishment.

Sounds like that'd be a good route for recent joiners to the world of MTB. Nothing too hard but plenty of fun

No worries. If you can do Turnbull in the middle ring you can do this.

Tara, just say yes and you will be fine. I am sure you will clear more of the climbs than I will. Like Zach said you can do Turnbull you can do this.

Never ridden Turnbull, but you were saying it's a bit more difficult than Fully Loop this past Sunday.

Pugz,

I can sweep for you.
I know Aliso and much as I know Fully.
I am totally prepared you should see what my mom packs in my pack - when I go on longer rides.

Tracie - If you single speed I'll single speed with you and trust me we will be slow on the climbs.

What kind of trail is Meadows? Have never been down that one. I guess how does it compare to Rock-it since that the trail I am most familiar to?
