Sorry @SS Barby - Hard to make solid plans with the weather reports we've been reading. Got a window of opportunity and went for it. Great weather for riding. Spit a couple of drops here and there, but nothing coming down yet.

No totally understand. I just live 10 miles from Aliso so need to see the trail. But, @Mikie said he'd guide me soon.

After spending all day tomorrow whacking weeds for fire prevention per county requirements around my house... if I still have anything we can do an Acton Trail (AT) ride on Saturday and do the whole fashizzle. :eek:
The original ride starts at the baseball diamonds below Acton...
So I guess I just did a trail invite... :sneaky:

You're waiting until the last day? Is that so that the weeds have grown out as much as possible before you hack them away?

Think starting on the Aliso side and finishing at the baseball fields...Cause there should be two vehicles.

It used to be June 30th until the drought years came. Then they bumped it back to the beginning of June.
Now that we had a record post drought season, The soil is damp and the weeds are growing like crazy here in Canada!
Meaning...
I would like to clear 3 acres of weeds once and not multiple times. ;):coffee: Especially on the side of a huge hill behind my house.

You gonna have to help me out here...
Do you not want to start and finish at the Baseball Diamonds? I don't mind the hike-a-bike in the beginning.

Or...
Are you thinking we start at Aliso ride to the split... climb the South trail, then drop and finish off the North trail to the baseball diamond, then shuttle back to the Aliso trailhead?

I was talking your second option but I probably shouldn't have opened my mouth till I'm sure I can go(sh!tstorm at work)...I'm good with either option. Assuming others are going I just thought starting on the Aliso side showed them both options and made for an easier climb initially but what do I care, I like climbing...And I like starting at the ball fields and doing the normal out & back.

Do you need a biologist to monitor your grubbing? It is nesting bird season, afterall. I can get one out there in 3 weeks for $1,200 per day.

Well...
Based on the RECORD number of people that usually show for our rides...:whistling::rolleyes:
I'll post up a ride invite and see what we get for victims... err, I mean riders, and decide from there as it can go either way at a minutes decision. :thumbsup:

South OC on Sunday. Afternoonish. 2-3 hours. I wouldn’t mind company. I’m open to trail suggestions.

Hmmmm... I'm riding Saturday night, so not sure I can swing a Sunday afternoon adventure. I shall check.

Whiting and the Luge are running really fun right now... And will probably be empty in the afternoon. There's always Water Works- Machete Loops.... I believe they're pretty close to your starting point.

Or... If you're into HAB, there's always Ding Dong. More technical than the Luge, but a pain in the butt to get to. That trail would be more your speed. And @knucklebuster just rode it...

Yes, yes, and yes! If you can swing it, be prepared to wait around for me, or you can ride intervals as I slog up the hill.
