Photos for Stapfam
I remember a while back you were surprised to hear of mountains in California.
I live 15 minutes from Newport Beach in Southern California (Orange County). I did a hill training ride yesterday and here are my photos:
(From High Trails Park -Orange Park Acres))
Santa Ana River Trail:
Through Santiago Canyon - Mojeska Peak with snow (it's around 2500')
It was an awesome day to ride - we are between storms and the mountains are covered with snow!!!

Thanks for the pictures. I went to high school in Huntington Beach, and my mother later lived very near the Santa Ana River trail, where I enjoyed taking my sons when they were gradeschoolers.

Just look at those hills- Ideal for getting the MTB out on. Climbs may be hard but If I had down hills that steep- I might be thinking about a Full suspension. Thats it- Next bike will be a Full suspension- so wait a few years before I can afford it.
Great pics- but with views like that- You are getting me interested in Going Offroad again. Especially after todays ride in the cold. At least if I was up in the Snow- there would be a reason for getting cold- but when I see sun- I see warmth.

Beautiful pics!!
Keep spreading the word... it really does snow here. There was a headline at CNN.com the other day called "This is southern CA??" that included pictures of snow from last week's storm. ARGH!!! This isn't southern Florida! We have ski areas! It's not all palm trees and beaches!!! One of my co-workers stayed with a relative last week who lives in the lower areas because the area where she lives was snowed in... truckers were forced to stop and couldn't get through. In southern California.

You'll have to visit DG. The Mission Hills trails are just a short ride away from where he lives, and now that he has his Peugeot....
Of course if you don't want to go so far, you could do worse than the Womble Trail here in Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas.

Nice pics Pam. Looks like it was a nice day. We had beautiful weather here in Phoenix yesterday, but has been raining all day.
How high are the peaks in the distance?

Stapfam, normally I would be mountain biking but when it rains, trails are closed for 72 hours so on the road I went. Just as well, I did hill training and got in some great views. Weather was perfect, cool but sunny. If you check out the first and third photos, there are some great trails out there.

I did it the year it was called the Butterflood and I finished it that day. I've never ridden in so much rain and mud.
Oh by the way, do you know what the BBBBC stands for on the back of the Spook jersey?

No I have always wondered... care to share?
I think we tried to make something up like "Bakersfield Bicycling Bosom Buddies Club" or something like that.
BTW - my spook jerseys (I have 4) are my favorites. They are becoming worn and threadbare, but I still love them!

A Mtn biker surprised to hear there were mountains here? Isn't Mt Tam the "birthplace" of mountain biking?
