rthomer · August 24th, 2010, 10:47 PM

settemarche · August 25th, 2010, 11:03 AM

Upchuck · August 25th, 2010, 4:56 PM

If I have that weekend clear, I'd like to come down and join ya'll.

rthomer · August 25th, 2010, 6:08 PM

Looks like a nice network of trails.

yo-Nate-y · August 25th, 2010, 7:13 PM

Yeah, those do look fun. I used to surf there back in high school, but we never did any biking.
(we called that surf spot "trails" though)

team fallbrook · September 1st, 2010, 1:11 PM

Does the 27th in the AM work for everyone?

If that's in September, isn't that a Monday?

settemarche · September 1st, 2010, 10:30 PM

i think maybe he was looking forward to November 27th. which would be a Sat.

Just curious. The original title suggested September. If it's in November, I'd be good to go!

team fallbrook · September 2nd, 2010, 11:00 AM

No I messed up,,,I meant the Sept 26 but Nov 27th a burn off the Turkey ride would be cool too

What ever works for everybody else is ok with me

I wouldn't be able to make it Sept 26th. Camping that weekend up here in Point Mugu Sycamore Canyon, where there's tons of great riding...just sayin'.

But Nov 27th would work for sure.

rthomer · September 2nd, 2010, 2:15 PM

I'm gone as well Sept. 25th and 26th, Lighthouse Century up the coast....Point Magu is a lot of fun too.
October or November is pretty clear for me for right now.

team fallbrook · September 3rd, 2010, 11:07 AM

How about the friday or Sat after Thanksgiving?

Upchuck · September 4th, 2010, 12:44 AM

I could probably do either day. Please post directions as the date approaches.

Upchuck · October 7th, 2010, 7:31 PM

Got a yard pass from the boss for either Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving! Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.

Upchuck · October 26th, 2010, 10:55 PM

So are we all still on for a post Turkey Day ride?

rthomer · October 27th, 2010, 12:11 AM

I'm still on.
I'd prefer the Saturday due to post Thanksgiving triptophan factor, but I'll go with the flow if Friday is best for everyone else.

settemarche · October 27th, 2010, 9:42 PM

i would really like to make this ride. but i will be in Nor Cal over the Turkey Day Fest. please post the locked down "date" if you have come up with one.

thanks as always,

Sette

Upchuck · October 28th, 2010, 12:17 PM

I'm good for Friday or Saturday. Just need good directions. Sorry you can make it, Sette.

team fallbrook · November 3rd, 2010, 6:41 PM

http://www.mountainbikebill.com/SCST.htm

Here is Mountainbike Bills description on the trail

Here are the directions
Directions: There are two primary trailheads to start from. I prefer to start from Steed Park.

Steed Park Trailhead: From I-5 in San Clemente take the Ave Pico exit. Turn east and take Ave Pico 1.7 miles. Turn right onto Ave La Plata and travel south for 1.4 miles. Steed Park is on the right-hand side of the road just as you can see the road dead-end. You can also park at the end of the street. The trails start just past the end of the road.
Cristianitos Road Trailhead: At the south end of San Clemente on I-5 take the Cristianitos Road Exit and turn east. Just to the east of the freeway is the intersection of El Camino Real. Park anywhere near this area. A doubletrack access road is just to the south of Cristianitos Road that you can use to go east into the trail network.

I vote with Mountain Bike Bill for the Stead Park Trail Head

Either Day is Okay with me what time does everyone want to start 8 or 9?

Upchuck · November 3rd, 2010, 9:52 PM

I'd prefer 9am since I'm coming down from Ventura county.

rthomer · November 3rd, 2010, 10:46 PM

9am works for me....name the day, I'll do Friday if it's best for everybody.

Upchuck · November 4th, 2010, 10:24 AM

100 miles for a bike ride. This had better be one hell of a ride.

rthomer · November 4th, 2010, 2:15 PM

Ditto.
Although it's 65 miles to Pt. Magu from my place.....what we'll do for a little fun.

team fallbrook · November 15th, 2010, 1:11 PM

How is Friday

Upchuck · November 15th, 2010, 4:04 PM

Friday is good for me. I'm bringing a couple others with me.

fat-tony · November 16th, 2010, 9:53 AM

Please post up some photos when you boys get back!

Enjoy

rthomer · November 16th, 2010, 2:43 PM

Sounds good.

Upchuck · November 22nd, 2010, 9:43 AM

So I assume rain will cancel this ride? I've heard Weed Patch doesn't do well after rain.

rthomer · November 22nd, 2010, 11:35 AM

A mud bowl I guess? Maybe Fallbrook can give us a trail update.

team fallbrook · November 22nd, 2010, 4:11 PM

It will probably need a couple days to dry out

A good old fashon mud bowl could be fum

Saturday might be better

Update weather report we had a few sprinkles last night (Monday) and it has been ovecast all day so it might still be soopy this weekend

The guys at Buy My Bikes (local Bike Store) said it needs a good dry spell after the rains

Let me know what you guys want to do

Upchuck · November 23rd, 2010, 7:43 PM

Hmm...I'd hate to travel down and find it muddy. What are our other options that are vintage bike/vintage rider friendly?

team fallbrook · November 24th, 2010, 11:45 AM

Aliso Woods Canyon in Aliso Viejo is where I broke in my Fat it has some great trails, It is closer for you guys

El Morro is good too

The only thing is Saturday is better for me

Upchuck · November 24th, 2010, 1:40 PM

Unfortunately me and one of the three others I'm bringing along can only do Friday.

team fallbrook · November 24th, 2010, 5:00 PM

Could we Start at 10:00 or 10:30 on Friday?

Upchuck · November 24th, 2010, 7:19 PM

I think my group is good for 10am. And I think it was wise to move to Aliso to avoid Mud Patch...er, I mean Weed Patch.

rthomer · November 24th, 2010, 9:25 PM

That all sounds fine. Looking forward to it.

team fallbrook · November 25th, 2010, 11:27 AM

Great 10 AM sounds good

Here is the park's web sight,let's meet up by the info sign the one with the map, and poison oak, rattle snake warning

I will have my cell and if you need the number send me a message I will check tonight

Look forward to it
