NOOB Aliso Wood Ride 9/1/07 @ 6:30 AM

[foofighter]

Well my buddies are jonseing to go again this weekend...this time no $99 Ralph's 1" travel bike! We've got 4 newbies on the ride so the ride will be uber chill that's why we're starting early. But the ride will consist of meeting at MILF park at 6:30 riding to Cholla, along the ridge to Top of the World, down Meadows then back through the fireroad. 2-3hrs?

Please join us if you want to relax and socialize with some climbs

[foofighter]

[foofighter]

great ride today had a group of 7+ riders. Met up a J'amer (Adam), houseofmusic (Marcel) and his buddy Jack.

Started it up cholla at around 7:20 and it was already getting warm. This little climb still isnt easy for some

Meadows


And Adam (J'mers) he was my buddy's saviour today...he was having trouble shifting prior to the climb and it resulted in the granny chainring getting completely torn. Adam to the rescue this man has the trail know-how to fix just about anything. Kudos to you Adam!



Here he is taking out a link or two of the discombobulated chain

Duan...pick up my phone call tomorrow morning yea...Im going to be passing through your area and I'll drop off Bon's part i Had to borrow.

Oh yea you guys made me hella late for the move, by the time I got there they were already finished. I guess thats good and bad depends on how you look at it. So she made me assemble her desk she bought, thank god she's an old old friend and didnt get mad at me.

We didn't make anything , you came on your own stu...I mean accord.

Good ride though, my heart thanks everyone for it and I thank Adam for being so trail Savvy(I think my bike does too). Good meeting everyone, definitely want to do it again, after I get a little ring.

btw, Adam is so generous and kind not only did he fix my bike he offered me a granny gear. Thanks very much Adam but I couldn't possibly trouble you for all that. I will have this taken care of when I find spare time.
