Can anyone post a Google maps of this so that I can get some driving directions? Thanks!

 

see post #67, then trailhead directions

 

Gosh, maybe I shoulda done that sooner. Thanks!

 

Hey Gene,

No one's mentioned it - do we need an Adventure Pass for the parking area?

 

No

 

Update to Beek's Newbie ride

Wow, what a list. This ride is going to be FUN!

Black Star Canyon Rd. is open :clap:
You do not need an Adventure Pass to park on Black Star.

Rach(Wrecker), Glad you could make it :clap: and I'll take you up on the offer to help sweep fo sho, same goes for you Jeff(J Sims), Thanks.

Bummer Traci(surlygal), I hope you can find a sitter by then, you of all people should be on this ride since you yourself have led newbie rides. I hope you can make it. [-o-]

Thanks Andy(Rut) for towing the BOB, we may need another :-k.

The meeting time is 8am and we will ride no later than 8:20 from the iron gate. So if you're parked at the tree lot, be sure you are at the gate by 8:20 or you'll have to catch up(should be no problem for some, but impossible for others).

I will be there by 7:15am to assist in any last min bike adjustments. Get there early if you think you need your bike looked at.

The weather looks favorable this weekend, mostly cloudy in the morning, highs in the low 80's. :clap:

I have plenty of bags and gloves. Beek's was cleaned just last month so there shouldn't be much, but you never know.

Art Tuttle is up to his old self, He chased a couple riders out this week, but we will ride through. The only problem is whether or not he will try and block our vehicle access to Beek's. I'll know more by tomorrow.

If you have not RSVP'd yet, please do so, so we can figure out how many are joining this ride. Thanks in advance.

I will update this ride again tomorrow. Thanks everyone

 

are you actually gonna go this time bubb? if so, bring the huckler so i can say "hi" to it!

i've never experienced that problem, when i get home i empty the extra cytomax or gatorade and toss the bladder in the freezer. so far so good... 8-[

 

Holy Crap!

This ride has gotten HUGE!!

As of last night before leaving for work, Jake was into comming along. So, if he does, it'll be his first REAL long climb.:clap:
We'll (he & I) just pedal along at a speed he comphy with, and see if we can get him all of the way to Beek's. No worries about waiting up for us, I know the way, and that's gonna be a lot of people to try and re-group.
We'll see you guy's and girls tomorrow!:clap:\\/

 

Just hang his Play Station on the back of your bike and he hill fly up the climb trying to get it back. :clap:

 

Car pool

We should dbl or triple up. This is a popular route even without our large group

 

No worries mate... the groups will sorta come together by themselves & since there's no time limit... no pressure.

I'll be riding next to Andy and helping encourage him onward... since the bob will be heavy... we may need to try and lighten his load on the ride up...

See you tomorrow..

OMR

 

Opps

I should have been more clear. Is there going to be enough parking for 50 cars?

I was just suggesting that we should car pool if possible

 

carpool from tustin if needed

im in tustin just a bit off 22/(tustin ave exit) if anyone needs a lift. (can meet on chapman as well) truck bed and hitch rack can carry a few rigs. ~ 20 minutes from my place to B-star gate. just need to leave "a bit of room" in the truck for the beers i promised to bring for andy!

this was your request right, andy?


Note - may need to head back quick after ride as have family in town and "limited hall pass"

hit me with PM if want in

 

One thing has not been discussed so far: after ride festivities! Any plans or options? We can always play it by ear.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on my first STR ride! I'll be riding the red IBEX Asta.

 

I will help as well! Anything for a friend! :beer:

 

What? We can play it by BEER? I think that's what I heard! :beer:

 

pre-ride entertainment and "nourishment"

 

I will be leaving Dana Point in the morning and have room for one more bike on my rack:wave::wave:

 

Thanks

I have a truck that can hold a few bikes (San Clemente) However I need to check with wifey. Due to the late start (8:20) I may need to get back quick to keep the peace at home............#-o:lol:

 

I think me and a buddy are gonna try and make it out to this one....

never done blackstar yet.....
pretty gnarly hill?
