    My cell as well: 949-306-4577. That would be about right as far as time estimates.

    Where?????

    Haha, okay i have read like 5 different meeting places for this ride.:( Can some one give us a definitive starting point? Is the Starting point in the original post still good? or should we all just meet in the park proper?

    And i second the idea for maybe a slight side trip with some more "adventuresome" trails... :bang:

    Yes, the starting point is in the park. The day use area.

    Some folks are parking outside the park and riding in to the staging area.

    hahaha! It's not a training ride. It's more like a booze cruise.

    That's the problem! I posted it as a suffer fest training ride! #-o

    Is there anything on this ride that would make me want to ride a Reign or should I just bring this?

    I'll definitely call you guys if for some reason we get caught up somewhere. I think it'll work out. Last time I climbed ITT it was on the Enduro. I should be a TAD bit faster on the Dos Niner.

    Thanks again for the sweet suggestion! Higher mileage and climbing here we come

    Take the right turn and keep following around towards the back of the park... there will be a very large dirt parking area there.

    See ya,

    We are going to be at the new meeting place which is to the right when you go in... over by the playground equipment... you can always call us when you get to the park... although, you'll probably hear the noise by then.

    We're Set To Go

    I just spoke to the O'Neill Park Ranger. They are aware we will have a large group of mountain bikers there on Sat. There is no need for a permit and the day use area can accommodate more than we have. They will have my cell # at the office/enterance.

    The park sometimes won't allow open flames due to fire hazard, but not this weekend, BBQ grills are open for use.

    There is a restroom next to the area where we will be staging and showers. Bring extra shoes/socks or sandals for afterwards cause the ones you're wearing for the ride will be wet.

    It would be a good idea to bring a lawn or chair beach as seating could be limited.

    Please be sure your bike is in good working order and bring the essentials needed(gear, water, tubes, pump, etc...,).

    The Warriors Society will provide sodas and water, but feel free to contribute what you want. I will provide cups for the "bevs". Remember, no alchohol is allowed in the park, but it wasn't allowed either at MILF park. So use your own discretion.

    I will update this again tomorrow night.
