So we had a little house party on Saturday which started out with a nice ride, then some BBQ, drinks and ended with watching the UFC.
A lot of the pictures didnt come out too well may have something to do with that crash a couple weeks ago (camera took a hit). But since I tend to take WAY too many pictures anyway I still have plenty to show!
We took care to properly prepare for the party:
We also snagged an extra grill from BB- to make sure that we had enough room to cook everything on!
Woke up Saturday morning to rain WTF!! This is SoCal, its not supposed to rain!!! Our friends who live about 3 miles away said they didnt get any rain, so we took our chances and headed out.
The trail we were riding is called The Luge. You have a nice gradual climb for a couple miles, then you hit a fun fast section of fireroad that takes you to the top of the luge section.
Trailhead was nice and dry, looks like it was good call:
Heading up there:
Time to climb!
Dont know why the fast guys stopped here for us, were about 90% to the top but it gave me a chance to click away some pictures!
Said fast guys (well uphill at least):
Looking towards where we came from:
Must be having fun on the climbs, hes still smiling:
-BB- , not so much:
Once we got to the top its a fun fast wide open fireroad to the start of the twisty stuff, but it was also much wetter up there!
This is the view from below:
This section is fast, twisty and tight and after a good rain: slick! Some of the group adjusted well to it, others did not. Its a bad idea to go off the trail at least to your right:
I went ahead and scoped out a spot that I thought would be good for pictures:
First one starting off in the distance:
At least he is still smiling:
Just after this point was the worst section, very slick and hard to control the bike. Judging by all the noise these guys were making I should have been taking pictures at that point! I did grab a few last shots from above as they emerged:
Still having issues, but never stopped smiling:
There is a rider in this picture somewhere:
There are two in this one:
Once at the bottom its a small climb to get out too bad it was super slick! We did a little hike-a-bike to get out. The start of the hill was so bad my buddy could barely get his footing, so I waited hoping someone would spill...
Oh well next time.
After this we took the street about a mile and then cut into some fun fast swoopy XCish riding, and then home to get cleaned up:
These were white
Then it was party time
