Who's Riding Where???

Laundry list of excuses coming your way :D
  1. I don't think anyone is quick down there at the moment, its probably in some of the worst shape I have ever seen it, deep dust, big braking bumps, blown out all over the place
  2. I'm a one trick pony and the Luge is my backyard, if I wasn't ok down there then I should probably find something else to do (a spot of crochet with @Danimal perhaps :p)
  3. Since my last crash on there I've stopped pushing it (for now) and most days at the moment I'm on the single speed. It desperately needs some rain before I'll start chasing my best time again, I do have a tantalizingly close goal :sneaky:
If you guys do want to meet up for a run I'm always down. @herzalot, we should organize something, no-ones replaced the flag yet.
@DangerDirtyD replied on the other thread, brakes are all good now. I think they wore themselves back into alignment.

I'll drive down there any night of the week after the 10 o'clock news.

My super secret, un-named,un-maped, unknown downhill. If you're near Yosemite . . . .
I have the GoPro all charged up, but I haven't used it in years, so let's see if it works.

Speaking of viedo, how do you upload?

I’ll trade tech support for guiding. :cool:

JK. You upload your vid to a hosting site. The popular ones like YouTube allow embedding here using the button that looks like reel film. Otherwise you can link here to vid but not embed. Just photos upload directly to this site.

Anyone been to Chino Hills SP lately? Comments?

I've been a few times the last couple weekends.

They are doing pipeline construction along Southridge so the road is freshly graded and likely to have vehicle traffic on it.

The singletracks are not as clear as I had hoped they would be. Raptor/Faultline is still a bit bushwhacky, as are the rest of the trails.

Might be a bit muddy with the rains this week and possibly next week.
 
Simi Valley. All day.

In our youths (if we are old enough), most everyone was likely a SSer at some point. My Grandfather used to build beefy Schwinn bikes in his garage for the neighborhood kids and all of them had SS drivetrains. My Lil John Murphy, which I built myself waaaay back when, was a SS. So, oh yes, I was a singlespeeder! :laugh:
 
@j-chap I rode AT back in June starting from the ball fields, all the way to the top. The lower sections until you cross the fire road and start climbing for good were pretty overgrown. Like wear long pants and sleeves overgrown. Higher up, the tread has deteriorated as material falls onto the bench. So a lot of the way it is very loose, soft, and/or narrow tread.

I did some hiking up top to see if I could connect up to Mt Gleason but the old road I was on eventually petered out to complete overgrowth. That was to the right. The road also goes to the left, but I didn't have time to check that out nor have I made it back.
