Raptar Ridge Chino Hills

[abuck55]

Just got back from a Chino Hills ride. Up Bane Canyon down Bane Ridge to Telegragh up to Four Corners and then down Raptar Ridge and back home to Bane Canyon.

I keep telling myself that Raptar Ridge is getting better but it's pretty rough! It needs some weed wacken. But Bane Ridge is alot of fun. Thanks to all of us that hacked and wacked at the weeds that Saturday.

is it possible to put in a bunch of miles out there? i may be out that way friday

[KonaDupee]

It's very easy to string together 20+ miles out at Chino Hills. It may be mostly fire road, but it's still one of my favorite spots to ride when I don't feel like driving far. The single tracks out there are fun, but some are still pretty overgrown.

Give it a go; it's worth it if you are out that way. If you have a SS, bring it. CHSP is the reason single speeds were invented...

Here's a route that I like out there. Start out at Rimcrest, head down south ridge, down telegraph, up north ridge, down sycamore, up telegraph, up bovinian, down south ridge back to rimcrest. If you want to add more miles, you can go to raptor ridge after the second run in with telegraph, then up sidewinder, down bane ridge, up telegraph back to 4 corners, then up bovinian to down south ridge back to the car. first loop is about 14.7 miles and the second loop is 23+miles. If you are up to it we can do either after 4:30pm friday!

i have a 6pm final on friday..... then im done

you ladies cant wait till sunday? lol

[BrewMaster]

I am down for Sunday.

David, there are 65+ miles of trails in CHSP. You can put in as many miles as you want. You can also get in some decent singletrack along the way. Nothing epic, but fun and can be good for training rides.

Someone has cleared the first part of Raptor about a half mile down the trail. Otherwise it needs some love up the hill and to the power tower. Sidewinder is not in good shape AFAIK.

[KonaDupee]

Count me in for Sunday. Just let me know when & where.

[BrewMaster]

If Dan is coming he has to carry an extra 35 lbs or so to even things out on the climbs. A BOB full of beer should cover it.

[duke777]

You guys all suck! Where ya'll find this much time to ride?

[kloepo9]

Hey,

I'm up for a Sunday ride too. I just don't like responsibility. Who wants to post one?

Oh yeah, baby. I'll gladly lug around 35 lbs of some fine malt liquor.

Ya'll aren't too particular about your beer, are ya?

[Chewyeti]

[BrewMaster]

Is that a promise, threat, or a shower toy?

Anyway.... set up the ride... we will come.

[freekengo]

I can't make this sunday, I'll be busy organizing the parts I pick up from the Jenson sale. That could be an all day deal............ (reality says that I'll be working.)

[Pain Freak]

I have a ride thats tenative, but I haven't rode CHSP in a couple years. I might just make it over there. Where's the meet and time?
