What kind of riding is there? I'll be down there Sunday if anyone want to ride.

 

[Ride it]

Im pretty sure if its just west lake, then your looking at allot of cross country ridding, if you like it!! Tons of trails.

 

[PatBranch]

Well...is there anything besides xc, like up to 10miles away?

 

[1000-Oaks]

Suicide in Oak Park, push up to the top of Dead Cow fire road and hang a right onto the singletrack. Check the MTBR trail guide.

That sounds fun. Does anyone want to go?

How long is the ride up? Maybe I could do it a few times.


edit: oh...you're photo turbo. Were you handing out cards at Fontana?

 

[1000-Oaks]

Yup, that was me!

I'll be out shooting at Bootleg this weekend, but have fun on Suicide. If you can pedal up Dead Cow you're the man, I push. Just before you hit the gate at the top there's a steep trail up to the right that doesn't really look like a trail, I think that's the start. (I passed by it and picked up the trail on the other side of the hilltop.) Down is pretty easy but fun. Doubt you'll want to push up more than once.

Sounds good. I'll try to climb it. How long does it take you to push up it?

 

[1000-Oaks]

Don't really remember, maybe 30 minutes?

Don't really remember, maybe 30 minutes?

It feels like forever though....not a real fun push in my opinion.

I pushed up the trail ONCE. I DON'T recommend doing that....

Just re-read this......1000 Oaks, the trail that you took is the correct one. If you take the way that you passed up you will miss a good chunk of the fun stuff (IMO).

Also, mtnbrider, if I'm not too late and you haven't ridden there yet, do yourself a favor and wear pads. This place is very rocky and unforgiving if you go down in the rocks. Have fun!

I was planning on shinguards and elbow pads.

I decided not go, because I couldn't find anyone to ride with and I had stuff at home I should be doing.

Thanks for all the info. Maybe I can find someone to ride with the next time I have a chance to go down there.
