The Where: Backbone to Corral Canyon
Riders: Joe (Rockslide), N4th (Nathan),Jenkssocal (Rich), Musicmaker (FJ), Alrick, Metalmtbr (Dennis)
Ride time:
8:30a - 1:00p
Trail Conditions: Little bit of everything. Plenty of climbs, hard packed singletrack, rock gardens, fast downhills. One of the best trails in the Santa Monica mountains by far.
Weather: Mid-60's throughout the ride. Very brisk.
Notes: We loved this trail so much that we wanted to come back with the rest of the crue. We invited Joe back (he drives far, too!), Nath, Rich, and Alrich would join us this time. Jeffo was rehearsing for a gig he's doing on 12/26 (opening for Michael Schenker group) and DC had out of town visitors. We were in for a treat this go around as we would be recording our ride with my new GoPro HD camera. I included a special treat for all of you at the end of this RR. It's what we do :)

The Crue getting restless and circling. Check out Joe's awesome DH bike!

Nice Ride Report Dennis...

-Miles? Ride time? Elevation change?

-Always good to see a "CRUE" making an effort ride together!

If it were warmer I'd ....

You were in Solstice Canyon. Corral Canyon is over the next ridge to the east. Corral Canyon Road divides the two. :)
 
Its all CGI......I just stood there !! :)

Love the RR...you should be SPANKED for that video ;)

Yes we are pretty tight on getting together, every Sat morning and at least once in the week. Apart form that we are social outcasts with no friends :wave:
