Southern California - Aliso Woods MTB ride

Thinking of doing the full tour up there either the 2nd or 3rd saturday of next month. Anyone interested?

Ride will be about 19 miles and 2600 feet of downhill. Ride woods to chuola to top fire road, down rock it, back up chuola to top of the world then down mathese to parking lot.

Parking is 3 bucks I think.


Saturday Aug 16 @ 8am.

I'd recommend one change,
coyote
up cholla
down rock-it
up cholla ( yes again)
to top o' the world
Meadows down ( meadows is a fun down with switchbacks.) ( this is the change)
I think your right, it will be about 15+ miles with around 2500' of elev gain.

Le me know and I'll join you.

I am sooooo down.

Yo Oleanshowbox..
Whaz up!!
This will be a great ride...

yah you're right, I had Mathese stuck in my head when it was Meadows at the end of the naborhood up there.

efficiency....carpool?

Sure, if I can make it on the day.

You can't fool me. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKgPY1adc0A)

lets set this up for the 16th

Bump for Da Mtbs....

time to purchase the necessary pieces for my MTB... cause this sounds fun!

what are you missing???

chain, cables, possibly the rear deraileur and the shifters/brake assemblies for both sides... upgrades!

Enjoy the crowd. That place is almost comical on weekends.

Either start very early or late on a hot afternoon.

I went SRAM X9 for my green bike SOOO in love with the shifting over crappymono err shimano.
I got the shifters, rear D, chain, cassette for a lil over 200. Well worth it too.

I've been riding X9 for awhile now. It works great even when its covered in muck. Good choice!

Great ride...confirm time/date?

Pretty sure it's August 16th, 8am.
Saturday.

Jeff, Can you confirm.

the best is the crowd of people waiting at the bottom of cholla and trying to prolong the start of the climb :lol:

confirmed!!!:thumb:

I need to ask for permission on this, but I am still down, even if its just Jeff, Dan and I. You guys down with that?

I am on this.
I have that Saturday off.

Today I did a ride similar to this.
Except after going down Rock-It went up Mathis. ( instead of Cholla 2x)

Great ride, had a blast and my arms were burnin'......
It wil be good to see everyone again!

Just moved to the area a couple months ago...mind if I join you guys? Not looking for any crazy downhill stuff, but I've ridden the SART, Marshall Canyon, and Southridge (the XC course), so something similar would be great.

This is Rock-It...

me on the trails (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1arh8skqHo)

a better view (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkFGXON7CxM&feature=related) and my fall is at 3:49 in this video.

The trail does not have as many rain ruts as in in extorts second video, and there is
now a P-line on the right side of Rock-It.

Jeff come on out and join us! should be a nice ride, and we leave no-one behind..

well, almost no -one, there was that one time....:innocent:

I'm still lost. Jerk.

if you rode fine on the southridge course this will be fun for you. Not as much sand and powder like southridge but faster and flowy like this single tracks up there.

No drop ride is correct, well minus the the last trip had 25 people and one made a wrong turn somehow but was found after the second time back up Chola. I only have my hardtail now so I can't bomb the DH like in the past:crash:

I'll ride solo if no one else shows, but company is always nice:thumb: If I have the legs left I might make this trip a double header and ride STT afterwards:D

We will be meeting here, bring 3 bucks for parking, in quarters or dollars.
PM me if you need directions. Should be about a 45min + drive from Calremont.
