SART trail pics 5/6

long one.

you can make it as long as u want!!!!!!!!:?: :?:

 

This was a fun ride cuz its different then any trails in our area. But if I were to make the drive I would rather go back to the Mt. Lowe/Strawberry Peak area. Those trails are faster and more challenging.

 

Not this weekend, ShinKen, you need to join Jon & me on the Potato Mountain ride. Then we got the Renaissance Faire to hit up that afternoon!! :beer:


Let's try for May 27th or 28th to do SART, since i got the Long Beach ride on the 20th & the Anti-Gravity ride on the 21st. :bang:

 

The climb back up Middle Control Road is not that bad and I like to get it out of the way first, so I normally park at the bottom. It seems like a long haul but it is not steep...as I recall it is a 800ft climb over 2+ miles.

I agree with Matt K., the San Gabriels are better and we need to do Chillao/Mt. Hillyer, besides I will be lookin for some sweet drops to check out the refurbished 5-Spot...Chillao is the spot.

 

What did you get done to the Spot Dean? New fork/shock??

I'll go up with you to the Chilliao trail.

 

well cc wanted to try this!!! i would guide her but I dont know the trail that good!! we can always re-schedule!!:-k

 

I would defintely go with someone that knows the trail. You dont wana pull a Steve out there](*,)

The trail was pretty well marked but there were a couple confusing turns.

 

Spot due back this Thursday. Pretty much a new build. Fox DHX 5 Coil shock. Marzocchi Z1 Light Fork, Hopey Steering Damper, stem, Azonic Stealth handle bars, DT Swiss 440 20mm hub laced to a Mavic 721 CD and lastly a AJ's frame protector...tired of my chain dropping of the granny.

Matt name the day and we will go.

 

exactly!!! i got lost before and it was OG like a mofo!! only missed one sign and dat was it!!! not fun#-o

 

If you're interested we have a ride going from Chilao to Monrovia this weekend. About 38 miles and 4800 feet of climbing but you get 8000 of descent. And of course it'll be a shuttle being the long distance.

 

Pain Freak, are you doing this on Sunday?

 

Thanks for hook'n a sista up...Lets plan it when we can get a crew out there that kno's the trail wheeeely well. Tat whey we'l be sure to hav a goo time. cc

 

Nope we are doing on Saturday the 13th. There will be bail out options and we have a few guys who are only doing a portion of the ride. The meeting place will be at the Chantry Gate (Santa Anita at the end of the street) at 7 am. Let me know if you're coming.
