    7 Sisters on 4/11

    Date changed to April 11th. I'll be starting from my house in Coto, but if you are driving to do this ride, a good place to starting/meeting place is where Laguna Niguel RnR store is (link below). I'm open to a start time but the earlier the better. I was thinking about 8:15 to 8:30ish.

    This is by no means a beginner ride. Pace will be around 13-15 mph, but that is pretty quick considering the amount of climbing involved.

    Route (not exactly the same since the starting place would be different)

    Only going to do this ride if my new tires and pedals come in by Saturday since my rear tire needs to be replaced, don't want to hit high speeds on it in its condition.

    If I don't do this, I'll probably do the Como ride if anyone wants to join.

    I'm going to change the date of this to April 11th. Should have more interested since it isn't Easter.

    See original post for details.

    I might make it, though I'm not a fast climber (or really any good at all) by any means. :)

    I may join you for this ride. I live in Coto as well, and need to get some miles in for the Death Ride in July.

    I have been wanting to try out Como for a while. What time does it start? Good vibes?

    I have never actually done it before. I tried meeting them at Cook's twice, but I was a couple minutes late and missed them both times. This past weekend when I did the canyon with Silverado, they came through Cook's right when I got there, but I was with Rustin and didn't hop on with me so I slowed down.

    It starts at 8 am from Tustin Marketplace, but I never felt like driving up there just to ride back down. This past weekend, I rolled up to Cook's at about 8:50 and they came through a minute behind.

    If you want this Sunday, we can meet somewhere and ride through Live Oak and meet them at Cook's Corner and ride with them through the canyon.

    hmm, sounds cool. i could do a little warmup and ride out to Plano Trabuco/Live Oak. maybe link up right around the start to the canyon there? let me know. i am down to do Live Oak and Santiago to Jamboree(even down Jamboree to Irvine Bvd and then back up), loop Santiago back and do Silverado up to Maple and Santiago back to Cook's and split off with high fives or grab a beer.

    I'd be down for that, it would be a good 70 mile route for me. PM incoming.
