Default Bug Crusher Ride Aliso 6pm



Weekly ride in Aliso. We start at the main lot around 5:30 and hit the base of Cholla at 6pm. So you can start at either place. The usual route is up Cholla, down Rock-it, through Coyote, up Dripping cave, down Dripping cave, then back to the main lot. Usually 3 or 4 riders. We're probably all open to changing the route based on who wants to ride what. This ride is open to all skill levels. If you lag we can meet up back at some point, if you're a hot doger same thing. (That's right "hot doger" haha)

Cool graphics!

See you tonight at 5:30pm at the main lot. I'll be parking at the church parking lot (south-west side).

I'm meeting a couple of buddies there at about the same time, probably closer to 5:45 for a quick ride. Hope they take it easy on me - I haven't ridden in 5 weeks. I'm sure I'll run into you guys. I'll be wearing my blue UCSB Soccer jersey.

It was nice meeting you guys this afternoon. Sorry, I had to bail out early at the top of Cholla. Let's try to start the ride a little earlier next time. Hope you guys had a fun rest of the ride.

"cruiser ride" haha I know, right? I could tell right away he meant business. I'll have to start training harder so I can keep up. Maybe next time Andy can ride an actual beach cruiser? That should even things out a little.

also check my sweat pack. haha man it was hot.

Tim, Mike, Andy, Grant, & Foo -

What do you guys think about going this direction for our next weekday afternoon ride?
Ride up Meadows, cross over TOTW, down Car Wreck, up and down Dripping Cave or Coyote and out. Maybe we can all meet at the bottom of Meadows.

As you start riding down Mathis, it's the first single track on the right.

CarWreck is not a legal trail. I have been busted for riding illegal trails in this park and the fun is not worth the punishment!! Aside from the financial issues, it took time from work (in the courthouse) and paints a bad image for the biking community. I will be remaining on legal trails.

oh, yeah, he's right. I can't pay for a ticket. All my money will be spent on my 29er build. Plus, I've never been on an illegal trail so I'm living guilt free right now.

Andy, beach cruiser, think about it.

also, pirate ride sounds rad.
