hey guys.. looks like i'll be heading back to marshall this sunday. i'll be at the school around 7:30 if anybody wants to ride also. i'm a bit nervous, but know that if i make it through this ride my confidence will sky rocket. i just got to remember to take it slow.
my nephew and a few guys that we're meeting up with (jax claremont) wanted to get an earlier ride. chances are you'll catch up to me anyways.. lol. hope to see you out there Stan.
I'd love to join you guys, but I sprained my wrist at the Loop last Sun. Have to see how it heals up before Sunday.
i know how that is. my wrist is still sore.. lol.. heal up dude. let me know you if can make it. you still have my number?
I crashed into that ditch at Brea Reservoir area right before getting out to Harbor. I was not paying attention and missed the dirt patch in the ditch, and by the time I got to it, it was too late to avoid it. I tried to jump over it and failed! My buddy OTB'ed at the Loop last night, and broke his collar bone in two places! Ride safely!
Yea, It's a great trail! Last time there my buddy went OTB and separated his shoulder. He really got launched off his saddle when he tried to jump the lip that is built up off the tree root- he was a flyin'!!
I am from La Canada (used to live in Irvine) and all the good trails around me are currently out of commission because of the station fire (with the exception of Mt.Zion/Wilson and La Tuna Canyon...but I'm over those rides for the time being. Haha). I've never ridden in the Marshall Canyon area before. I've always avoided it because every route I hear about is approx. 3.5 to 5 miles long. If I'm gonna be driving from La Canada, I need a route that's longer than that.... However, I see that people have posted some 19+ mile routes on this thread??? Sounds great! I think I would totally get lost if I tried this stuff by myself, though. Does anyone want to give me a tour? That would be awesome, actually!! I can't make it tomorrow (Sunday) morning, but these next couple weeks and weekends won't be very busy at all for me...let me know. I'd greatly appreciate it!
our round trip ride today was about 10 1/2 miles. we may be hitting it up again next sunday. i'll post if we do. Dakit. rest that wrist. i tried to hurry my recovery which ended up taking longer. wrist is still not 100%, but it didn't bother me at all.
I tried to get up this morning and meet you guys but I still had a sore throat and back ache. This cold won't go away. Sorry I missed the ride. So how did you do Tony?
no worries. we'll catch you next time. i made it thru. not as clean as i'd like, but made it thru. i just nutted up and did it. had a guy coach me thru which helped a lot. ruts almost got me though. rest up man. theraflu always works for me.. but tastes like caca
Glad to hear you made it thru! I am hoping that my wrist will heal up by next Sunday, if you guys will be hitting Marshall again. (if Duke would like to join)
That sounds like fun! Let me know if you're doing it next Sunday. Unless something unexpected comes up, I'm definitely down!! Thanks! Looking forward to it!
it's a 80% go for now. You know how it is. Things come up. I'll post back here for updates. btw I did a lot of HAB today. Few weeks off the saddle killed my less than stellar stamina
