Sup everyone

Had a great memorial weekend of riding.

Sat- rode with jesse and his brother in law at turnbo canyon. ride was ok with a short climb and very quick downhill (you are down at the bottom in no time)

Sunday- Rode with Juan Torres (1959 boy) and Montiel. We rode Chilao campground http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/trail-talk/19426-rr-chilao-da-snow.html#post299369 (a video some guys made this weekend) (up near Pasadena) for the first time and it was very fun. Nice climb then a sweet intermidiate downhill singletrack with nice sized boulders. Damn, it snowed and the weather was perfect, no overheating.

we ate at a diner then went up to mount wilson to to the Mt. Lowe Railway trail to Sam merril trail to inspiration point. damn, that was the best ride i have ever had, that trail is the shit!!!! advanced technical single track down hill with some nice fireroad and singletrack climbs. the Mt. Lowe Railway to the foothill must have been like 14-16 miles, this is a bad boy trail that makes my gave my bike its purpose in life. this ride was almost a religous experience it was that good! no accidents this ride and no mechanical issues (not even flats) Juan torres was freaked out on this trail since it took him out of his confort zone and made him rely on himself and trust himself. Juan rode better than before although he walked a little to much IMO. Montiel is an exvcellent rider with some balls and good endurance.

Moneday I rode jpl to oakwild, rode ok and had a little crash going uphill and went over the edge but hung on and pulled myslf up and just kept riding.

PEACE OUT

Sunday, I showed some guys and gals from PMBC.org around Aliso Woods. A snapped derailleur hanger ended the ride early before we could go up mathis and down meadows.
Great group of riders!

Monday, I cranked such a good pace up Holy Jim that I quit the ride early and rode back down. Once I got ahead of the group, I kept pushing myself to stay ahead. Burned myself out when I reached the main divide. Was tired the rest of the day.

I draw a blank on what happened saturday.....
