Hey y'all,
got the tip from some friends in NorCal about RM. I just moved to Pasadena from Palo Alto (bay area) and am in some serious need of a ride... but I know no trails and no-one! :nopity:

i ride everything from DH,DJ,FR,XC,road,urb,trials even motocross.. but am mostly into FR,DJ,DH on a Santa Cruz VP Free. (other rides include Azonic DS1, Giant AC1, Litespeed, Honda CR250)

here's a fun little video we shot at Whistler and the bay area last summer (crank the tunes crusty's fans):Vid

If any of you gravity-creeps are interested in showing an old dog some new trails.. shoot me a PM or email at goodena at stanford dot edu

Awsome video! Dirt merchant and A-line are the best trails!

PM Ciaran on here. He lives and rides in Pasadena. Oh wait, he's moving south, but i'm sure he will still be riding there a lot.

Thanks! Glad you liked the video. We're no superheros, but we like to have some fun!

Yeah, we must have done those two trails about a hundred times (ok, maybe twenty), but they were always fun. We'd peel off at the bottom and run the MTX course.

We're gonna make it an annual event, so if anyone is heading up there the end of July or early August, let me know!

I live in Pasadena but am in the process of building a ride. Drop me a line and we'll hook up. If you're looking for a shop, Pasadena Cyclery..ask for Matt Ley...or my personal favorite H&S Cycles in Burbank.

thanks y'all!

Anyone interested in a Mt. Wilson run on Sunday morning? If so, and you'd be willing to show me the lines... lemme know!

Also, how steep is the climbing? Right now I have my race cog (11-21) in the back.. should I put on my climbing cogset? (11-34) I'm kindof outta shape now :oink:

i was out doin some urban after i changed over to single speed. i was sprinting up to wall ride and the chain jumped the cog. I went OTB shoulder first into the concrete. xrays came back neg, but I have a MRI tomorrow morning to make sure there are no tears. Looks like Ill be outta comission for at least 3 weeks or longer. I will also be purchasing a dedicated SS cog to prevent further single speed carnage on all future rides.

There is a group of us that ride XC locally Tuesday evenings and usually plan a DH shuttle or some dirt jumping for the weekends. We are all from the Pasadena or surrounding areas. You can join,follow the rides and schedule your own rides at www.ermtb.com
Youll have to sign up but its spam free.
