Southern California - Santa Ana Trail 8 AM Any takers This Sat?

Looking for people who want to ride the Santa Ana River trail this Saturday or Sunday about 8 AM.

I ride about 17 mph and I ride between 40 and 60 miles to the beach.

Any takers?

2 1/2 months to make your first post? Where you been Ma' Man!:D

Gina and I will be riding with FThomas from the stadium on Saturday (25 miles). Slow relaxed pace, gotta save my energy for Sunday.:p

Hey Mr. Beanz, what time are you going? I thought you always went later. Would love to join you and Gina sometime.

Wish I could be there..but I will be visiting the Malibu Charity Ride...the other direction.

Another day...:D

The truth is MrBeanz has to slow down to my very humbling pace. I'm embarrassed, but I'll be there!

But he gives great draft!!!

ke_jones2000 (http://www.bikeforums.net/member.php?u=102768) Does it have to be SART? I'm riding that day about 60-65 miles but a different route with hills if you want. Route starts at a park by Limonite and the 15 moving east to El Camino(up and over) then to Sierra(up and over), over to Rancho to climb to the top of Haven, down to Chino Hills to crush their little hill(Soquel Canyon, Payton, Grand , and Chino Hills Prkwy), and back to the park.

We usually start about 9:30-9:45. On Saturday it will be 9:30 at the firestation/leaky faucet!:D A short ez 25. Gina's been off a while and I'm doing GMR on Sunday. It'll take all I got to get up that hill!:o

I'll jump at Lincoln Ave at about 8-8:30 ish Saturday heading south.

We may cross paths. I ride a mostly black, Giant w/ white bars.

I'll be out there averaging a whopping 17.2358 MPH for ten miles or so.

Are you on a bike or a motor bike?

During a strech, I can get my speed up to 20 mph but then I wake up and my speed come back down to 17. Some riders love to ride above 20, but I can't ride that fast for 40 mph. :D

I too find it is easier just to follow the lead of MrBeanz. He is a very consistent rider that sets a good pace. He can really move when he wants too but he is content to lead the pack. :D

I wish I were in Malibu. Have fun post some pictures for us.
:)

I will ride this coming weekend.

I have a black, Giant w/black handle bars. Mine is a hybrid. I will see you on the trail. :)

I think it's more that if I go too fast Gina gets mad any yells at me. And that really hurts my feeling!:p

Your bike is a hybrid? I thought it was a roadie with straightbars. If so, get a full on roadie, you'll pick up your average some in the longrun. Your bike really moves though!

Is that one way miles? Thanks.

Both ways

40 - 60 miles sounds good! Saturday would be best for me. From where are you starting? Hopefully I can meet some of the other SoCal members during the ride as well.

Are you starting at the beach, or inland?

I only ride with people who I can cuss at if they ride too fast....:D

I am really mean...and scary...;):p

If you sweep up the glass on SART, I'll let you cuss at me all you want!:D

I was thinking of driving :eek: to a place inland then ride to the beach and back, meeting with k_j2000 at the beginning the ride.

Is this on again for this weekend too? If so I'm in on Sat. starting from Green River. I think it's around 70 miles from there.(to and from)

Pizza?...I always stop at the end of the trail, first reststop in HB. End of the trail and back is 60.

60 it is. is it on again? If it is, is green River good and can we get Pizza in NewPort(not 60 anymore)? Z Pizza is really good. I'm just fishing.

I pm'd Ke_jones lastnight. Told him inquiring minds want to know. I pm'ed him so that he would know that others are interested, cause he's not a constant poster like some of the others here.:p

I'l prolly be in the hills that day, maybe!:D

So some are starting at 8am at Green River?
I plan to be there, but where exactly around there?
Thanks!
If kj2000 plans to be elsewhere, since he's the op, I'll try to meet him there.

Thanks Beanz.

If kj2000 plans to be elsewhere, since he's the op, I'll try to meet him there. There is a Golf course(Green River Golf Course) with parking right before/at the entrance to SART. Parkings more like a small dirt lot.

I am going to start an 8am at Green River Saturday. I think will get to the Anaheim Pond at 9am.
Black, Giant w/black handle bars. Mine is a hybrid. :D

Saturday the 19th 8am at Green River.

Sounds like a good ride.

Don't leave anything of value or in the open in your vehicles at the Green River end of that bike path. I've seen a lot of window glass in that parking area.

thanks for the heads up crit

Yeah, if you get any 'heavy breather' calls, don't worry it's just me!:D

I was really looking forward to meeting the Beanzs, et al. It was great rolling with Kevin until Honda Center. It was at HC that Kevin realized I had broken a spoke on my back wheel. The sound bugging me was the wheel/tire rubbing the chainstay.

It was turning out to be a very good day, and am sorry I missed the rest of it!

Al

Broken spoke? Darn, that's always a major bummer on a ride!

Beanz and Gina sighting verified....:D



Well actually I just saw Gina and only "wondered" if it was her I wasn't sure. I yelled Hey at you guys 'cause I almost always greet other cyclists. I didn't have my bell yesterday...:p
