Santa Ana River Trail 2-18-07

Thought this better go up sooner than later!

It seems folks are interested in hitting this one Sunday, 2-18-07, meeting at 8am at the turnout just past the Oaks restaurant on your left.
Moderate pace with plenty of regrouping if needed. I have a freind who rode there Thursday and said there is a bit of snow but all in all it was pretty good for being February:lol:
Bring lots of aqua and a snack for when we reach Southfork. Not sure what the temps will be but dress for success, that means armwarmers Jose:lol:
Drop a note if you can make it, I have 2 with me already so it should be fun:bang:

 

how are the bugs there this time of year?

 

there weren't any there 2 weeks ago

 

awesome thanks! :beer:

 

Woo Hoo should be fun....Neil do I have to climb up with you guys? Can you bring the B.O.B trailer with you in case I need a ride?

 

Southern storm today so the moisture should not turn to snow, but on that side of the mountain it usually does. Should make for some interesting riding.

 

What is the route?

Greetings,

Are you doing an up and back? what is the total distance & ascent?

is it the same route as: Time (avg): 3:27 Distance: 24.5 Ascent: 2,125 - from Geo? just up and back?

 

sounds good. how far is it from huntington? where is it?

 

Highway 38 at Middle Control Road, Angelus Oaks...back way up to Big Bear. Get over to Mentone (off Highway 10) and head up the hill. Takes me 1hr 45 minutes from Laguna.

Neil and I may carpool if u want in :-k or want to follow?

 

dood I am in for this one.

 

That's the one.
Jose, Justin, Jeff and myself did this route a while ago and it was a blast, minus the flats:lol: , can't wait.
Hope you can make it.

Yes, Yes you do!
I could tow the B.O.B. but the cerveza's would be too shook up by the time we get to South Fork:beer: , no room for you, sorry!

 

man, looks like its turning into a SS ride... you mofo's are gonna kill me #-o

 

hmmmm SSART :bang:sounds good

I am a definite maybe for this one

let me know if anyone wants a ride from the westside

 

Hey TK,
There are at least 4 full squish and gears guys coming, I was thinking of rocking the Cross rig there, have not seen a cross rig in there yet:bang: ....luv that wesssiiide
pix, that is the real deal, those kids almost look intimidating!

On a side note, if anyone is interested for grub & libation afterwards my wife has volunteered to "man" the grill at our place in Big Bear. It is about a 30 minute drive from Angelus Oaks to our cabin. As it gets closer, let me know so we can get a head count for burgers and stuff!

 

Clyde, I'm hoping to have my 'Cross rig ready for the weekend, so depending on my foot, ill try to bring it out there! Sounds like a blast!

 

Dean, are you taking your 29er on this ride?

 

No 5-spot for me.

 

hmm... i'll see if i can get a ss to ride for the weekend :bang:
