I'm doing Monroe Truck Trail (Glendora) early, 6:30 am. Pretty good trail, if anyone remembers this as a fireroad, you'd be surprised how it looks now, some nice singletrack.

Dernit, wish I would of seen this earlier. I haven't rode Monroe TT in about 2 years. Do you go up to GMR then go back down to the gate on the side? They have that one steep dh that some guys used to call "widow" or "widow maker" , it is steep, with a nasty finish, but I believe I could make it. Last time we did it 4 out of the 6 of us crashed pretty good. I dabbed and it's been bugging me ever since when I think of that trail.

I got up early this morning to ride, then got lazy and decided I could ride later when it’s light out and warm. I didn’t see this Monroe post, that would have motivated me. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve done that. I remember crashing on "widow maker" on every attempt back in the early 90’s.

I’ll probably hit Marshall/CWP around 2 today.

Just read this at 2:12 pm.

I think I'll go out in the garage and look at my bikes and cry a little.

Going up Marshall Cyn Xmas morn around 9. from the parking lot on Mills. I'll be on a silver Yeti 575

Considering I have to work Tues thru Friday, I'm going to sneak out for a ride tomorrow, but that'll be to early for me. I figure I should be able to get out around 11. Anybody else? If you got anything from the mtb santa you can show it off. Marshall Cyn ...Oak Mesa Parking lot 11 am.
