I understand, but it's very frustrating for me to simply be reading some innocent post, just to see one of the land managers get blasted out of the blue, or see me once again labled as a trail nazi.

Trust me...there's a lot more things I'd rather be doing than having to ride fence lines, and spend 30% of my time repairing fences and replacing valdalized signs.

But I rarely see riders getting near as vocal about these types of riders as they do about the managers who have to deal with them.

Prior to the warning about me patrolling the area, I didn't see much to be concerned about in the post. IMO there's nothing wrong with shuttle runs....it's just another aspect of our sport; and there's trails locally that seem to be able to support it. Nothing spectacular or long, but still some nice short technical trails that are shuttle worthy.

I thought I got an e-mail from you that you were riding out there this weekend. Also, you said Rodger was working on his Socom last week and that's why you couldn't go do Tunnel? You just don't like my anymore, do you NancyPants!!! Hey, even if that hoser doesn't want to ride, you're still welcome to ride with us

On the contrary Adam, Many of us believe the other way around, that it's idiots like those shown who are doing our sport a disservice. Most of us know the land managers are not the problem. If you were to take a general consensus, you'd find over 80% of people in agreement with you and others who help maintain our trails.

The email was about the Arenaline Bikes Poker ride at Irvine Park a week from Saturday. Last weekend we were recovering from our 2 week road trip to Whistler. We ended up riding the DH trails in BB on the trail bikes with friends who were shuttling with their big bikes. Roger had some holdups while building the Socom, had to get a new e-13 and still waiting on Saint Cranks. Hopefully they will come in today and he can ride it on Sunday.

So what are some other good shuttles in SoCal? I'm excited to check out Mt. Wilson tomorrow.

Mt. Wilson has the best legal downhills in the area..

JPL (Gabrielino).
Mt. Wilson Trail.
The classic Upper, Middle Merrills, Sunset, El Prieto.
Upper and Lower Winter Creek.
and the one you are doin' tomorrow.

Others with more climbing
Kenton Devore (Rattlesnake)
Valley Forge
Rim Trail
and more in other parts of the San Gabs, this is a short list of just Mt. Wilson

You will have a nice little payment climb at the end of Sturtevant, well worth the 7-8 miles of downhill you get.
Here is a discribtion of your ride tomorrow. I know it is hard to stop and take pictures on that trail but please give us a Ride Report.
