I got out later than usual on Saturday morning for Bommer Canyon open access day ride. Started about 11 AM which worked out well as it was not super crowded. Started at Quail and rode up the wall (if you know, you know) and then over to Cattle Crest. I was only 2 seconds off my PR down Cattle...

I did an IRC ride this morning ... Baker Canyon Singletracks. Fun group and some good riding. It was stupid foggy on the way over, I almost thought I was going to skip it, but just as I passed Irvine Lake on Santiago Canyon the sun came out. I guess that valley where Black Star is keeps most of...

The Bommer Canyon exploration days are rare, so I took the day off work Friday to go ride. Same as the Open Access days, but with far fewer people being a weekday and all. I started at about 9 and made my way from Quail Hill parking over to Cattle Crest. I like the "1st DH" section of that...

I rode another Limestone Canyon open access day on Saturday. Weather was spectacular and it was pretty crowded, but I started right at 8 AM, and after I passed the last bike on the way up Limestone Canyon, I went a solid 30 minutes before I saw another person. I rode up Raptor and then back...

First mountain bike ride in nearly three weeks, and I decided on Laguna. Parked at Nix and rode Stagecoach over to Willow and up. Cleaned Willow, so I must still be in some kind of reasonable shape. Over to Ol' Emerald, and that one suffered from the rains, especially the 2nd part after the...

I was scheduled to do a IRC group ride at Baker Canyon on Sunday, but weird events led me to another Black Star ride. My nav diverted me to the 261 toll road, which is unusual, but I figured it was leading me around an accident or delay or something. The toll road was wildly foggy, I could...

I got out early Saturday for the Agua Chinon & The Sinks exploration day at Limestone Canyon. This ride begins on the opposite side from most Limestone events, off of Portola at the end of the toll road. I started right at 8 AM with the intention of getting far ahead of all hikers so I could...

Early start at Black Star Canyon today. The intent was to actually hit Baker Canyon for open access, but due to heavy fog and super slow drivers, I got to the trailhead after the gate opened and saw so many hikers that I decided on just Black Star today, LOL. Climbed up to the start of...

Accurate.

I got up early today for the 7 AM start to the IRC FREEKS ride, which had been on hold for more than a year due to some trail issues. Anyway, this ride has always been on my "do it just to do it" list, and now it's done! Can't see ever doing it again though, LOL. I just did the climbs at my own...

Looks nice. We don't have too many rides through the woods in OC.

I picked my bike up from the shop mid-day Wednesday after taking it in for a brake issue. Since I was in the area, thought about Whiting & The Luge, but then redirected over to Black Star Canyon. I rode up to Puhu Connector, which is a nice singletrack through the woods and a nice break from...

I started early this morning at Santiago Oaks, parking at Anaheim Elementary this time. Down Yucca then up Bumblebee. OC Parks had some kind of hiking event going on out there, with a big tent at the top of Bumblebee, so it was good I started early. The hikers were all carrying maps, so not sure...

I did another docent led ride with IRC again on Saturday. This time "Single Tracks of Limestone and Red Rock Wilderness" which was sort of singletracky I guess. Basically Limestone fire road over to and up Cactus fire road and then finally Limestone Ridge Singletrack and the new Creek Trail...

2006 ... not a Kid anymore, LOL. Hopefully still riding.

Laguna from Ridge Park is my weekday morning go to ride since it is so close and easy to get to for me. It is a good thing is Laguna/El Morro/Crystal Cove and Aliso have so many options. Today I started with Lizards, then rode over to and down Camarillo and took Stagecoach to Nix and back. Up...

I got up early this morning, so I figured I would try to get a ride in before football. Headed to Santiago Oaks where it started out sunny, but then turned overcast and even foggy at the end. Pretty perfect actually. I rode up Chutes and Barham, and then figured why not go ride the singletracks...
