Morning April 29th Relaxed Ride

[Pain Freak]

Where's Canyon Vistas Gate? The only part I have a problem with is that climbing Steps part.But what the hell, I'm game. Sounds like you've done this one before, Adam. And a mid ride coffee break sounds like a great idea.

Here's a map of the Canyon Vistas entrance.

This sounds like the perfect ride for Saturday, w/ one minor adjustment--figure if I have to climb Steps, I'm going to enjoy the descent. Shouldn't be too much trouble hooking back up with the group further down Lag. Cyn.

I kind of got it. What would the directions be from the 73?

[Skeeter]

That ride sounds great. What about something instead of going down cholla to finish the ride? Just seems kind'ove a boring way to end an awesome ride. Anyways, i dosn't really matter to me just my $.02. But sounds like fun, if my bike gets back together in time.

Down Canyon Acres
Laguna Canyon Rd to Deidrich's (Caffeine)
Deidrichs to Boat Canyon
Up Boat Canyon to Bommer Ridge to Missing Link
M.L. to Rattle Snake
Down Rattle Snake
Up I think I Can to Moro Ridge
Down BVD's
Up Emerald or Old Em
Down Willow
Up Steps
Down Cholla back to the cars.

wow, that seems like a wack ride!. I'v hit a bunch of those trails before (not all) but never linked these parks as you suggest. Think EM and LCWP. Anyway, already have a commitment to ride el moro that morning but what time you think you'll enter EM. Not sure how realistic, but maybe an opportunity to hook up with you guys for that portion of ride. If not some time in the future.

So what's the head count for tomorrow mornings theee-park ride (with coffee break).

It's a good ride but not a hammer-fest by any means. This should be a no-drop ride, and we can modify the course along the way if we choose.

How about a 7:30 show up time?

So who's riding tomorrow

[~ Pakiha ~]

I'm in. !!!

[Ladd Jasper]

I plan to be there. Got some work to finish on the bike though, so it'll hang on that.

[ShinKen]

I will make it for sure!! maybe we should start @ 7:30!!! soo lets show up before that oK!

[JamR]

I plan on getting there no later than 7:15

See ya there

[bananaseat]

I've got a mid morning Dentist Appt. but will join you guys on the Aliso section. See ya @Canyon Vista, 7:15am.

Jessie, you should join me, I also need to be done by 9:30 - 10am.

[Andrew]

Hey guys, I think I'll join you on this one. Good excuse to get out of the house nice and early! I'll be coming from Huntington Beach if anyone from this area wants to carpool.

[Pain Freak]

I've got to figure out a way to ride to work. I was going to do this ride, but everything is booked next 3 weeks and next month is national bike month. If my riding buddy can be talked into it though, I'll bail on the road ride and meet you guys there.
