Not sure on the route but we have a couple hours so whatever we have time for.
With all the fires this one might be ok for riding....I hope!
I have never been there so I am excited for some new terrain.
Hope to see you there!

What about the air quality??

[Hanzo]

Too bad grandpa will not be in town cuz he should be familiar with it by now and could give you a tour. You listening DB?

I was in the area on Tuesday and the air was pretty bad, may have cleared up by now. I have to go coach my sons soccer game so I cannot make it. Hope it continues, I have two more games and then!!!!!!!!!

I know Tim loves Turnbull so it would have to be the one weekend we decide to go there he is out of town!!

I need to know where the meeting place is and how far away it is. If I get off at 6am, am I gonna have time to meet up with you guys?

If any you others are going later in the morning, let me know.

Crash,

Most folks meet here. Keep heading east on the paved road and the trailhead will be on the left.

But not at 7AM, I'm thinking sometime near 8:30ish.

diggs, me and gouge may hit it round 9ish or so, depends how big we go at the halloween party on friday night.

I'd park closer to the neighborhood than right at the gate by the trailhead. They've had problems with break-ins with cars parked at the gate.

wish I could hit it with you bubbs but have to be at work at 10am so always a early sat am ride for me!

[singleSSpeedster]

not sure if i can make it. i usually ride sun am. that will also give it an extra day for the sky to clear up abit.

i would recommend that people park down the streer near the homes. just watch the noise level. nothing more annoying that a mtb'er talking about his new disc brakes

i have seen many (ok, more like 5) car windows smashed at the turnbull trailhead after my rides. though, since it is a weekend, and relatively busy, i would worry less. i think i even had parts off my yakima roof rack jacked at the trailhead

if you see a tall guy on a white 29er ss sat mornin', say hi. if i recognize any of you (or see an str jersey), i will do the same.

have a good ride!

For those not familiar with the area... Park on Beverly just east of the corner of Beverly & Painter. Makes for a good exit point from Friends.

I know the area pretty well and can put together a couple of different loops depending on the time.

Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. I drive a silver honda civic, and will be sporting my STR jersey.

i'm wondering if I should go. I went once and those singletracks, especially the exposed one I hit, scared the crap out of me.

Neil.... Turnbull is not my trail---- it is my home!!!

I wish I would have known about the ride sooner- would have shown everyone around! Mt. Dew is also a local. Too bad he is out of town. Truth is there are MULTIPLE ways to ride Turnbull. Loops from 8, 10, 15, 25, 30+ miles depending on how you want to ride it!

I agree with the others- park in front of the houses and ride EAST towards the front gate (located on the left).

The routes you have chosen are pretty good. In my opinion, no trip to Turnbull is complete without riding 7th Street (i.e. the backside) and A-line/Friends/Greenleaf (a fast and flowy singletrack that is my personal favorite).

Notice to beginners: The routes they have chosen will require a bit of climbing.. beginning, middle and end! Just wanted "you" to know!

Enjoy!

[chongoblanco]

has any one heard about the air conditions my lungs are toast man!

hey dino there was a few days notice and your not comming?

I thought it was your HOME?! r u tooooo gooood for your hooomme! lmaf.

[Dino Brown]

I can see Turnbull from my House! Looks much better than it has the past few days.

Two concerns: 1) The air is not perfectly clean (my stuffy nose and lungs can attest to that 2) The San Gabriel Valley is not famous for its clean air. Hopefully, the changes in wind direction will help.

Have fun...

Good ride today. Turnbull is always fun. I hope to meet everyone again, soon.
