Hey Brew ,

Do you want to meet us at 4 Corners and you can guide us through Chino Hills State Park?

You can head-up the ride from Chino State Park side and meet us on top.

What is the best route? If we stay left after 4 Corners, is there a quick single track that will loop us back around to CCRP?

Do yourself a favor and stay on the fire roads... the single track in the park is really overgrown. We rode Bovine, Aliso Canyon and Sidwinder single tracks yesterday afternoon and I thought I'd been whipped multiple times with a leather whip. The mustard is just high enough that it hits you about face high... I opened my mouth several times to talk and got a mouth full of plants! eck! tooey!

OMR - Good point!

I guess we will take the fireroad from CCRP to 4 Corners and decide our fate from there.

The weather should not be horrible at least according to accuweather.com.

It's going to be high 90s.

Should we cancel it?

Just ride smart, be aware of what your body's telling you & bring lots of liquids.

There are plenty of shady areas along the route up Telegraph to 4 Corners.

If I weren't already doing the Traverse, I'd join ya'll in a heartbeat.

OK. I guess this ride is still on. Bring lots of liquids. We will be taking frequent breaks on the climb out to 4 Corners.

In case anyone wants to forgo the Traverse, come out and join us on Saturday. I have a few friends riding the Traverse on Saturday. I them for riding all 41 miles in the 90+ heat.

I'm thinking we should bump the ride time up an hour so we can beat the heat a little more.


Edit, I tweaked my knee so I am switching to a maybe, I'll see how it feels tomorrow.

I think that is good.

The key is to drink a lot the day before the ride.
