Setting this up for James/Quaestionis.

Fallbrook SMaRT-Santa Margarita River Trail ride: Wednesday 6/18 at 5:30 PM.

A few have expressed interest in checking this area out, so I offered to lead the ride since it's my home trail. I started mountain biking on this trail 5 years ago and know it well.

A word of warning--the entire area was devastated by the wildfires in October last year. The vegetation is coming back in nicely and the trail has had a lot of work done to it since and is in decent shape, all things considered. However, it is very sandy in spots and you need to be aware of that going in. It is still a fun trail though.

Do to daylight/time constraints, I won't be able to show all this area has to offer, which is over 20 miles of trail. I will be able to show the main trails and point out other trails/areas of interest.

Meet at the North end of Stage Coach Ln in Fallbrook. From I-15: Exit Mission Rd/Fallbrook and take a right on Mission Rd. into town. Follow to first stop light--Stage Coach Ln and turn right. Park at the very end.

OK -- so I guess there are still some bugs in the Forum revamp -- I put this on the calendar cuz I didn't see it there. I hit submit once, and it's here twice. It is on the calendar now, but I don't see the "yes, no, maybe" buttons.

I would interested in doing it some other time, but I'll be on vacation and riding the trails up in Santa Cruz on the 18th.

NEXT TIME.

[PacMan]

Thanks Dan. I couldn't figure out why it didn't get added to the Calendar when I did it. Oh well. Thanks for taking care of it for me.

Should be a fun ride. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys!!

Looks like I am out. I work until 6:00 on Wed.

Have a good one!

[OldDogDan]

Add one more -- a non-STR friend from work is coming also.

[PacMan]

Looking forward to it. I'll be riding over to Stage Coach from my parents' house 2 hills over around 5:15-ish.

[Team Smitty]

I wont be leaving for Santa Cruz until Thur morning now so I'm a strong maybe, I would really like to do this ride.
Plus It will help me survive the drive if I get a ride in before sitting on my butt for the 6 hour drive north.

[Blue Rat]

I'm in ... see you guys this PM.

[Docklobster]

I'm out...next time...

This has been on my to do list for awhile - only 2 more weeks on the DL. Can't wait to see the pics!

There will be pics, won't there?

Just a reminder--it is going to be pretty sandy out there.

See you all at 5:30.

See you all at 5:30.

... so does that mean I'll need flip flops, speedos, and a beach chair?

Looking forward to seeing you guys.

Yes.

There's actually a really huge sandy area off the river bank that a lot of locals use as a beach.
