    Check out Geoladders.com and type in "aliso" in the routes section. Then click on "personalized routes" at the bottom and a ton of varying routes will pop up for you with ranges of distance and ascent. Directions, pictures and everything for anybody at any level. Great resource that I would highly recommend.
    Enjoy!

    I'm new to the forum. Been mountain biking for about a year now and I look forward to attending some group rides when possible.

    So... How long do you have to be off your bike before you're considered a "newb" again? It's been 10 months... Can't wait to get back!!!

    New here, but not to mountain biking.
    I'm old, and I don't mean 30 or 40.
    Racing heyday was the early/mid '90's.
    I'm more interested in racing bmx right now, but I've dusted off my wife's, and my old XC bikes last week, and took a spin around Bonelli. After that ride, we KNEW that it had been a really long time since we had saddled up.
    Looking forward to getting in a little better shape for those longer rides (there's no climbing in bmx), and then maybe hitting up some group rides this summer.
    Back in '97 you could find the wife and me at Big Bear and Rim Nordic riding this

    See ya sometime this summer!

    Nice bike, you and your wife should come down to fullerton for a ride. Bonelli is also a fun loop to do. Hope to see you on the trails.

    My wife just started a job, that of course requires her to work weekends. Our riding together time has been severely compromised. Thanks for the invite though, you never know how things might work out.

    Another new member here. Been riding in the dirt for a long time but just lucked onto this site last week. Awesome vibe. Really look forward to some group rides and laughs. I love epic all day rides and hope to find some here. Single track, fire roads, whatever as long as I am on my bike.

    Havent been on a ride yet with the str crew but think I ran into a couple of you at turnbull last weekend. Lost trying to find the trailhead in my truck, and then on the fire road climb to the water tower looking for some singletrack. Found our way to snake down I think at least the switchbacks seemed like a snake. Would love to ride up there with someone who knows the trails. Then rode later at Glendora MTN and ran into a Bear. First head to head with a bear anyone else up there on sat last weekend?

    Okay then. I can't wait to finally meet the Infamous Dino this Sunday at Fully Loop.

    I'm a bit of a lurker, though i have been on one of the Path rides. Unfortunately, i'm off at school right now, and with no car and little time, it's hard for me to get out to some of these rides. I still love to ride on my own though

    New to riding... trying to get some of my other friends into it (one with SUV's)... so I can actually get out to a trail... My car isnt really designed for a bike (lowered G35 on 20's and low profile tires)... I'll try to hit up a group ride sometime but as I said my car limits me greatly... till i actually meet ya'll I'll be lurking...

    btw... great site lots of good info...a
