Southern California
SoCal asks: Who are you? What do you look like? What do you ride? Where do you ride? You like to pose? Post pics! On the bike, off the bike, posing, whatever!..:D
Didn't we have one of these stickied? Oh well. Fire away. I need to look at local rigs again.
Ok folks it’s that time of year again to start thinking about your goals for 2009. What better goal than to do a century a month to keep your fitness level up and to be ready for any organized ride you wish to do without worrying if you’re “in shape” for it. Riding a century a month is a great way...
Today was a cool ride. JustMe and I share the load down to SealBeach. Taking turns at the front holding 20ish all the way down to the coast. Sure there are many styles of rides and riders but today was one of the best. You know me, take the front and hold a steady pace best I can. Usually hard to...
Hey all, how are you doing? Anyways, im from the bay area are as you know we have some massive peaks. Anything like that down here? I know there is baldy, but what else? Is there anything close to Chino because that's where I am located. It is kind of far to travel to irvine and santa monica...
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4117837455_5ea007cdda.jpg Wellll I'm not Batman but this elevation profile is! This is where Deer Springs Rd. transitions from Deer Springs Rd. into Mountain Meadow Rd. as you head north after crossing over the 15 in Escondido. I've been "eyeballing" the...
At our last adventure, while climbing Skyline, we hit this heavily rutted out area. There were three lines: left, right and middle. The Mayor took the center while I stayed on the right. I looked up and saw The Mayor’s line disappearing into a huge hole ahead. So, I’m thinking, “Oh no,...
I found a pair of sunglasses in the bike lane on my ride today. If you lost a pair, pm me with the description and your ride route. If it matches, then you can have them back. Here's a hint. There is a big O on them.
Be careful out there. From the Register HUNTINGTON BEACH – A 26-year-old woman crashed her bicycle into a semi trailer Thursday and was taken to the hospital to be treated for severe cuts and broken bones in her legs, police said. Dalia Albert, of Huntington Beach, was taken to UCI Medical...
I gotta know!:D...I was wrong about JohnR. Some reason I thought he was about 5'5. Boy, found out I was way of after talking to the guy on the phone yesterday (cool guy for being super humanly fast on the climbs!). This would clear up some confusion for some of us inquiring minds. I've ridden...
I found out the hard way today that Camp Pendleton is closed to cyclists through Monday. I'm guessing by the amount of heavy equipment in the field off in the distance from the old landing strip that they're doing something and they don't want us getting squished. So it ended up being a turn...
I'll be visiting relatives in Santa Maria for Thanksgiving. I'm considering bringing a bicycle. Any locals out there who can attest to the traffic and road conditions I'm likely to encounter on this ride: Bull Canyon to Cuyama (Route 166) to Tepusquet to Old Tepusquet to Santa Maria Mesa ...
looking to meet new people and ride with others let me know if your interested!
Hillbasher is a pretty quiet guy on the forum but he's here! I met him a couple years ago climbing Baldy Rd. We might have rode together once or twice around that time but never nothing planned. I'd been trying to get around to meet up with the guy for a GMR but I had a few setbacks (dental) that...
OK, I'm not talking about having the wife nag you cause you're spending too much time on the bike. I'm talking about silly, maybe even funny sacrifices you've made for the bike. Mine? Glad you asked.:p I had been waiting for my tax return, figured I had about 2 weeks left on the wait. I spotted...
So, my stepdaughter has another marching band show coming up, out in Corona this time. I should have about 6 or 7 hours to kill in the middle of the day and thought about riding part of the paved SART from Norco towards Riverside and maybe beyond. I've mapped it as far as I-10 which could give...
Last time I did this ride was in 97. Still a blast. We shuttled it, but there was still plenty of climbing to get down. http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ca/la-verne/782125859011766534 Here's me at Cow Cattle Canyon. I;m a clyde, 6'2" 270. ...
Welcome to the Hotel (So)California! Such a lovely place. ...you can ban me Jason, I'm okay with that.
Going to be in Temecula for a week and plan on bringing my road bike. Anyone here from this neck of the wood? I am looking for a good road to ride 40-50 miles route. Thanks
Anyone know?
Anybody been to Joshua Tree Natl Park over the weekend? I mean hiking, moderate. Where did you stay, hotel, etc. At 29 Palms, or Joshua Tree, or Yucca Valley?
I did the Mount Laguna Bicycle Classic pre-ride this past weekend. It is a tough century. It has 100 miles and 10k of climbing. You will ascend Mount Laguna from three different directions. A great ride with little traffic and lots of climbing. :thumb: If you are in an office setting turn...
Any SD North County folks willing to share riding information regarding Couser Canyon Rd.? I saw an interesting ride from San Marcos to Pechanga via Champagne (Old Hwy 395) then back down Pala Rd. to Couser Canyon Rd. then Lilac to Circle R, Champagne back to San Marcos. 4500 ft. of climbing, just...
