    This has been said before, but it's time for a BUMP..

    Newbs and lurkers. If you don't see a ride that is in you area, ability, time, or what ever. Then Post that you are going to ride with location, date, time and meeting place. They will come. I wanted to ride. posted it and had a dozen folks show up and had a GREAT time.. If transportation is an issue. Ask. It never hurts to ask. Question on trails, bike maint. gear or anything else. The search option is your friend. There are no dumb questions. Get out and joind or start the fun. You wont be sorry. Don't worry about your riding level. that will come. Just ride.

    being a newb and all i took the sunday str fully loop ride at it was awesome. met some cool (patient) members and got lots of tips. if you have any doubts or reservations on going on any of the group ride don't, because once you do you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

    I was gonna join the Sunday Group Ride, but ended up riding it with a few of my friends on Sat, and didn't want to do the Loop on a back to back. It was my first time riding the Fully Loop and I had great fun! (I had to walk some of the uphills.) Will do the STR Sunday Group Ride sometime.

    Hi, I'm Nick.

    I'm from Toronto, Canada, but have been down to Fontana for business a handful of times in the past few years. I'm heading there again in a couple weeks for 5 days or so and am going to try get some riding in.

    As a webadmin for a couple of forums not bike related I feel your pain. Trust me. I welcome and help countless newbs but they just filter off into the dust and it is kind of sad but you know for ever 10 who die off you get 1 good one so its worth it. don't give up!

    Hello all I'm new here and pretty much to riding as well. I was wondering if anybody could let me know where I could find a detailed map to the turnbull trails. Thanks in advance.

    Well dino brown I have tried on many occassions to invite people out to ride with no luck. As a matter of fact gandpa and fat guy are the only ones so far that has tried to meet up with me. I am about to give up on this forum. This is sad because I am a new rider and it is discouraging. Hopefully not all new riders get the same feeling or the trails will be getting empty. Us newbs look to you more experienced riders to learn from and the only thing I am learning is once a group is formed it is hard for them to see anyone outside of it.
