Hello,
I'm a new rider that's into mountain biking. I'm always looking for new trails in the OC area, but I haven't really had the best of luck. So far I've only ridden in El Moro about 8 times, and Chino Hills once (and I'm going again tomorrow). I'm also a big noob... I only have my bike and a backpack with water that I go with, and I just got some gloves and a full face helmet for downhill rides, but I don't have any kit for dealing with issues while riding, so any suggestions on what's EXTREMELY necessary would be of help. :D
I'm really interested in Downhill but I'm not an expert so I might need to take it easy the first few times. I'm also interested in gradual declines that last forever, and I'm against gradual inclines :P (I'd rather just do it all at once).
I'm also trying to find riding buddies that are in/around my skill area, though I might need to improve a bit before I can keep up. :)
I'm glad I found these forums by the way, it's not abandoned like most of the bike forums, and I hope I can get to know you guys a bit better. :D
Thanks,
bonicr :D
