STR 3rd Birthday Newbie Ride and Celebration

Here it is folks. Join us in celebrating the 3rd Birthday of STR with a newbie ride in Chino Hills followed by(much later of course) food, fun and pool games at Danny K's.

The ride will be at Chino Hills and will be an easy route up Telegraph Rd to 4 corners. It is a 12 miles out and back. At that point we can decide to come down either the south ridge or back down the same way we rode in. We also plan on adding "A" group ride to this with extra credits and singletracks. Should be something for everyone. Link to Chino Hills:

With the help of others, I also would like to give a brief ride clinics to cover things like minimum equipment, braking, shifting, climb techniques and descending. Please be there at 8am to get some of these tips. Update: Maxine Irving, Pro downhiller will be there to give a DH clinic.

The Birthday Celebration will be held at Danny K's. Lots of food and drink and is centrally located for most. Lots of pool tables so bring your cue sticks. 33 beers on tap and free pool for parties of 8 or more till 9pm! This promises to be a great time. Hope you all can make one or both the events.

Feel free to PM me if you would like to help with the clinic or ride. We'll need ride leaders for both newbie and "A" group rides as well as sweeps. Thanks

 

Whatever you need Gene.... just ask...

 

I second that, anyway I can help, I'm there!

 

Will help with the clinic if needed.....:wave:

 

I can help and show how not to brake thru a rock garden and the results of said braking....hahaha

 

Jeff, this ride is the same day as the Noble ride. You're signed up for that ride as well. :-k

 

I need help with riding without the training wheels. Can you help me?

 

That's how fast he is. He'll do one handed wheelies all the way from Chino Hills to Noble! :lol:

 

I'm planning on riding Noble, then hopefully making Danny K's afterwards.

Now that what i'm talking about!:bang:

 

I just noticed this was on the 20th. I thought we talked on Saturday about doing this on the 13th?:?:

Looks like I will have to work on the 20th.

 

Sorry J, the STR party got thrown in the mix and thought it might be easier to schedule them on the same day.

 

Yeah, I know, Noble will always be there. I'll just ride it next time. I don't want to miss the party! :bang:

 

Sweeeet!

Hey that sounds like a lot of fun. Is anyone driving out from around the San Gabriels or L.A. area? Want to give me a ride/carpool? I can drive to meet you somewhere too if that works. I really want to go on this ride!

 

maybe we can bring the first STR DVD Compilation to throw on a couple of the TVs also?

 

Speaking of - a second compilation would kick ass

 

i must be there to learn this for myself, seriously!

if i go...which does sound like much fun...will be going from lax area...so ill let you know..we can throw can throw your bike on my new hitch!!!

 

Ride time changed to accomodate those that are driving from distance and to allow more time for the ride clinics. Meet at 8am and ride by 9am. 1 hour for clinics should be plenty. We'll spend 5-10 minutes on different areas such as breaking, shifting under loads, climbing, descending, hydration, what to bring on rides, fixing your chain..., and anything else we think of or questions that may come up. There will be plenty of experience minds there. Time to pick their brain!

 

Thanks, it's only about 4 hours from Morro Bay... :lol:
