Mt. Baldy ride Sunday 6/30 6am

[Mrtahiti80]

A friend and I are riding up to the summit this Sunday starting at Manker Flats at 6am sharp. Who wants to join us? If you've done it before, even better! The more the merrier. We don't have a pace. We are just going to have a good time and no man left behind. I think the route will go something like this...Fireroad to devils backbone, backbone to summit and down the register.

IF anyone has any better routes please let me know

See you guys there

Good luck man! That's a pretty tough ride. I've never done the register part, but sounds intriguing. I'd take bells, as you'll likely encounter plenty of hikers.

Went up the backbone and down the ski hut trail. Some good Hike a Bike and brutally techy, steep terrain. Should've strapped the gopro on my friend. He's a shredder.

On Sunday, we will be going up devils backbone and going down the backbone

Yesterday, we went up the devil's backbone again and now biked down the backbone. so much more ride able than the hut.

I see you rode w/ OC" cool dude, nice ride!

 

[MrGreedom]

Cheers to your bro for sprinting uphill to your bike when you went OTB (3:20 1st video) then asking if you are alright after he secured the bike

 

[Mrtahiti80]

Yes, OC is a cool dude.

@ MrGreedom Yes, my friend knows the priority

I want to go back and ride devils backbone again. it's so rideable! Just need tom move some big rocks around and try to make the chutes part a bit wider. Also, I feel that if you can ride most of the hut, you're true mountain biker. I still need a lot of work espcially when my bike feels like it's surfing on kitty litter.

Trail maintenance coming up!

Hey I know you guys! I've heard bear canyon back to Mt Baldy village is real nice...

 

[Mrtahiti80]

I've heard the opposite. Just need to get out there and do it one of these days

Has anyone biked the Three T's? Timber, Telegraph and Thunder mtn? You start at the ice house saddle and end up at the notch and you come down the fireroad. It looks more bikable than the hut.

16miles
5800ft ascent

Anyone down to come with on Saturday? Here's a video of this. It looks bikeable.

Well, Timber and Telegraph are smack in the middle of the Cucamonga Wilderness and Thunder is on the border.
Other than that whole no bikes in Wilderness thing.....

Those trails are in the Cucamonga Wilderness, no biking allowed. You need a permit even to hike them.

Yes Sir's!
