    We're riding Trabuco - Bell Ridge. Time to be determined closer to the ride.

    BTW, don't mind the explanation on GeoLadders. We'll try to have fun anyway. :)

    You guys can still party at Roscoe's. Come out for the ride, take a nap, and it's on!

    I'd offer a party at our place. Anyone interested in driving down?

    I'm in!!

    Now, do I bring the Stinky, or bring the hardtail, and make CSTB even harder?:-k#-o

    I haven't cleaned it yet, but I've never done Bell on a hardtail either.

    Decisions, decisions!:lol:

    What is this ride? Why are so many people...hesitant? Scared? Unhappy? Got any pics of it? Is it long? None of you are making it sound particularly fun. :?: What's the low-down?

    I'm familiar with hiking Trabuco and I can't imagine riding up or down it, but what's Bell Ridge? Dare I say you have my interest nevertheless...

    Not an easy trail to get to. West Horsetheif, Trabuco Trail are a couple ways and both are pretty much hikes most of the way up. Any other way like Holy Jim or San Juan would be a long ride there. Here are few pics of Bell which has hike-a-bikes as well and steep descents.

    If the X-5 is back and built by then, it's yours if you want it.

    And you don't know your New Year's Eve plans yet? Then plan them around this!
