Thursday Night Tapia Ride - 6/28/08

[jeffj]

When: Thursday June 26, 2008, Meet at 6:30m - Riding by 6:45pm. Meet at the Castaic Sports Complex. I'm guessing we'll finish somewhere between 8:45 and 9:15pm depending on pace if we do two laps as planned.

Directions: Exit at Parker Rd. off of I-5 north in Castaic. Turn right from offramp and right again at first stop sign. This goes back along the freeway about 1/3 mile to Castaic Sports Complex. We'll meet in the parking lot closest to the street right next to the entrance in front of the gymnasium.

Just to give you a rough idea of drive time: This is about 25-30 minutes from West LA, 30-35 minutes from Pasadena, 45 minutes from Ventura and about one hour from Orange County (Disneyland).

What/Where: Ride Tapia Canyon in Castaic. About 15+ miles all together if we do both (Chicken Run & Burn Victim) versions of the singletrack descent as planned.

We'll meet at 6:30pm and ride at 6:45pm. We can descend Burn Victim first while it's still light and then turn on the lights for the second lap on Chicken Run.

The temps have dropped a bit (it was very comfortable yesterday evening), they removed even more bees yesterday and the trail is in pretty good shape.

Who: Everyone is welcome. Just be sure we know you're coming.

It looks like there will be six of us altogether. I did the same trail at the same departure time last night and it looks like we'll finish at about 9:10 or so.
