anyone going to hit aliso or el moro on sat. in the AM. i was thinking around 6 or 7. i'm hoping the air will be better if not good. thanks, chris

tkblazer · 10-26-2007, 02:46 PM

thas hella early homie

genusmtbkr5 · 10-26-2007, 03:08 PM

I'll be there for the Halloween ride tomorrow at 3pm. This ride will be a mellow pace. Although the air may be a little better, I'm not going to over exert myself for the sake of training. There will be time for that in the coming weeks if the fires are put out.

rushak · 10-26-2007, 04:04 PM

What tkblazer said....way too early, but I'll be there Sat morn. Probably will be crowded.

Hella early? Let's not start that trend down here.

CPATCRASH · 10-26-2007, 04:09 PM

I thought the parks were closed?

Never mind, they are open now.

rushak · 10-26-2007, 04:12 PM

Open as of today!

you sure about that? might be a typo

rushak · 10-26-2007, 04:36 PM

Pretty sure.

See this thread:

Aliso is now OPEN!

slayer · 10-26-2007, 04:52 PM

i like to ride early. that way i have the rest of the day. more to life than sleeping. the air here in H.B. looks good and there's no smell of ash.

project_d · 10-26-2007, 05:34 PM

I'll meet you there. I plan on parking at MILF park (by cholla), and riding Meadows, Rock-It, and Five Oaks; perhaps not in that order. I'll be there at 7am-ish.

slayer · 10-26-2007, 07:15 PM

i'll be there (aliso) ready to ride at 7AM. going to try and ride till 9, need to be home by 9:30. if the air is bad or i can feel crap in the lungs or throat i'll cut the ride short. i'll be in a red jeep cherokee.

i'll see if i can drag my sorry a$$ out of bed for a good early ride - silver pilot

bobzrag · 10-27-2007, 11:16 AM

Good ride today! Met up with project_d, we went to top of the world, down meadows, up cholla, down rockit and then hit 5 oaks. Saw your yeep slayer, but got there a bit late today.

Air was pretty good, could smell a little smoke near the top of the world and you could see the fires easily and all the smoke hanging over irvine and area.

First time down meadows (just grinding up before) and first time hitting 5 oaks - that was a blast, can't wait to go down again! Thanks for the lines and pointers Dan!

rushak · 10-27-2007, 12:58 PM

I think I saw Project D's truck. White SC Nomad, right? Me and my buddy Jake were loading up our cars (Silver Subaru's) to get some tasty Wahoos as you guys were leaving. We did a couple of rides today. Want to get as much in as we could. I thought the air was affecting me, but turns out I was just out of breath due to not riding for a week. My lungs feel good.

5 oaks is a blast! 2nd time around will be much better bobzrag.

project_d · 10-27-2007, 01:03 PM

Yeah, I saw you rushak; say "hi next time, will ya? Wow, I would have loved to have eaten some Wahoo's!

Good ride with bobzrag. Air was clean, trails were in good condition, and as bobzrag stated, you could see smoke from the fires VERY clearly. Big, and I mean BIG props to whomever did maintenance on Five Oaks. Put it a berm in a few places, and you can REALLY launch off the lip of the ditch!

rushak · 10-27-2007, 01:10 PM

Will do...I didn't realize that was you until I read the last few posts on this thread.

I think the last rain really cleaned up 5 oaks nicely. It's already getting a little loose again, but I'll take it!

lukewiens · 10-27-2007, 01:11 PM

rode aliso and el moro this morning...got out at around 8:30 and what a perfect day. i didn't have any problems with the air at all. we even got a little bit of rain around 10 or so that lasted for about 30-40 minutes.

i am so glad i was able to get out and ride today...thanks to oc parks for opening this back up just in time for the weekend. the air in temecula still sucks so i might be back out tomorrow for another dose of that sweet sweet nectar.

slayer · 10-27-2007, 01:54 PM

today was good. i left the jeep right at 7, sorry i missed you guys but i wanted to get a good ride in before i had to head home. i did cholla to lynx loop twice then i did cholla to rock-it loop twice then headed out. air was good ,didn't smell anything and my lungs felt good. i passed a couple of guys on my 3rd time up cholla, i was on a yellow specialized epic. was that you guys? i think i might hit up el moro or aliso again tomorrow, probably around the same time. later

project_d · 10-27-2007, 04:22 PM

Wow Slayer, you're an animal! 4 loops?!?!? That's cool, wish I had the legs & stamina for that.
