RR: Bluejay/Viejo Tie/Chiquito
Thanks to El Boracho for suggesting this ride, we had a good turnout of 12 riders. It was El Boracho, Tom the Bomb, dukethenuke, bananaseat, MTBracer, CalEpic, mcgrath, Von Diggity, Spookydave, Ladd Jasper, tkblazer and myself. We met up at 8am at the Candy Store then shuttled up to Blue Jay. I have done Chiquito and Viejo Tie before but we climbed up from the bottom of San Juan when we did that. By the time we got to Chiquito we were all very tired that time so this time was much more enjoyable for those of us who did that ride last time.
Things started off with Diggs getting a flat less than a mile into the ride. Fixed that up and then MTBracer slid out in a turn and broke his rear der hanger ](*,) Luckily he had a spare and got it fixed pretty quickly. Made our way to Viejo Tie and we all stopped at the 1st big boulder roll. A few of us did the roll, first was dukethenuke, then CalEpic, Ladd Jasper, myself and then came mcgrath's try. Well not sure exactly what happened but he ended up doing a big endo and went down hard on his head/shoulders. Somehow he managed only to get a few scratches thankfully! You get an A for effort on that one Pat!!! Pat would eventually go down again a couple miles later and ripped the strap on his camelback :?: Once again he was ok (although I'm sure he'll be a little sore tomorrow)
Then Diggs got another flat.....one word buddy, STANS 
We started the hike-a-bike section of Chiquita after the waterfall turnoff. Seemed to ride much more of this than last time due to A. not being so damn tired and B. riding my 6 Pack this time instead of the Burner. The 6 Pack was sooooooo much more enjoyable on this trail. We stopped and did the caterpillar rock roll and took some pics there as well. Nobody crashed on that one. Craig and Steve have a few pics they took on the rock rolls, I forgot my camera for this ride
This is a ride we must do again, it is a tiring ride despite being a shuttle but much more enjoyable than climbing up from the bottom. Having energy for Chiquita makes for a much more fun descent. Topped off the ride with some Bad to the Bone BBQ, very tasty stuff! Great ride today everyone!
