I was there also on my SS. The trail was in the best possible condition. Traction was supreme. We went up to Cocktail rock, did the loop back to Cocktail, and back to the cars. It was a blast!

Matt(BRpunkrock) and I rode THE LOOP today around 1pm. Definitely, moist and muddy all over the place and made some of the ruts deeper. The rain did tack down the dry sections which was nice but made the section by the railroad tracks not rideable. People were riding in the middle of the tracks the normal right side was all water and mud.

springrubbber, you started a few minutes behind us, though we started from a friend's house a few sections past the courthouse so we may have been a bit ahead of you two.

Congrats to everyone who did the LBC ride & marathon!

Sarah and I did STT/Luge today. After a road ride last night and chasing down some snot nosed road rider going up Santiago Canyon I was pretty pooped. Great tacky trail although some of the rockier sections and the Luge in general was a pain fest on the arm - love that trail after rain!

Did you have the orange Surly? I had my grey superlight. I believe my buddy was talking to you guys about 24 hour racing if that was you.

I think I saw some other STR folks on my way down but wasn't sure and I was too hungry to stop.
dayum, i shoulda rode. i woke up around 930 and was thinking of heading solo to maple springs and going to the motorway. me and gouge did some more urban assault at CSULB though, so that was fun.

Gabe and I rode Harding mid morning and saw a lot of foot and bike traffic. Weather and trail were perfect.

Gabe=Coors Jersey, Lety=Pink Helmet?

I think I saw you guys on my way down. I was in the red Kenda Jersey riding a Norco.

Sounds like you guys had a good ride, as did I.

Yes that would have been us. I was a bit slow (who am I kidding I'm always slow but extra slow yesterday) after all the tequila drinking from the night before so if he smelled anything it was probably the alcohol seeping from my pores...eeewww!

Like Rushak and Pilas already said, San Juan was perfecto yesterday. Rode up to Cocktail, clockwise around the lollipop, down Viejo Tie, back up Chiquito and down San Juan. Had the pleasure of hooking up partway through with some real cool guys doing product testing for Felt. Just an awesome day, though i'm sore as hell right now.

Luge probably wasnt a good idea but it was worth it despite the pain I'm sure its going to be a pain fest for a long time to come but every ride is a smidge better than the last

You want to get anything iffy sorted out ASAP. I've heard too many tragic stories of people ignoring stuff. I'm sure its nothing to worry about
