since when is it not common for people to ride DH bikes on Noble?BMXman said:a v-10 on Noble are you serious!
You betcha, last Sunday we did the whole canyon. Started at Penny Pines and ended at Fosters Freeze or whatever it's called in town.BMXman said:a v-10 on Noble are you serious!

more like riding a CRF450 on the mini-cross track I suppose.Aquaholic said:V-10 on Noble? That's like using a shotgun instead of a fly swatter.
Good point Mark. Other than Fontana during a sanctioned event or Mammoth, there ARE NO DH trails in So.Ca.BullittX said:We just need to ride responsibly, respect the rules of the trail, etc..

So, Donnie, are you going to tell us where or are they not for public display?BMXman said:someone's holding back info from you...I can think of at least 4 spots off the top of my head within 60 miles of San Diego....D
You know Mark's talking about US Forest approved DH trails like what AMPED is attempting at Baldy or a racecourse like Fontana not bootleg trails on public or private property. I understand Mark's point. Bottom line is it's not wise to blast around a corner on a multi-use trail and potentially hit a hiker or scare a horse. At least if you're at Corral Canyon all users there are (or should be) on the alert to high speed threats because of the OHV's.BMXman said:someone's holding back info from you...I can think of at least 4 spots off the top of my head within 60 miles of San Diego....D
the only way you will se them is if you come with...I'll look you up the next time we plan on going...but lately I have been loving trailriding and my singlespeed...DBullittX said:So, Donnie, are you going to tell us where or are they not for public display?
Perhaps if we get enough people for the trail work event we can ask the Ranger about building a DH specific trail or 2 out at Corral Canyon ORV just east of Noble. We could stage our own winter series?

I would say it's about 50/50 now...depends on the group I'm with...DBullittX said:
Straight up the trail, from trailhead to trailhead. That's how I started riding Noble many years ago. Nowadays we do a 30+ miles loop of epic riding. There's more to Noble Canyon than Noble Canyon.Duzitall said:When you say "ride up Noble" are you talking the road or the trail? :
Yeah, if you call plenty of breaks one at the beginning and one at the top and one at the bottom. Are you still ridding noble anymore I've seen you down the road from my place almost every saturday for the last month or so. A couple of weeks ago my wife almost made me go looking for you, we saw your truck sitting there at about 9:00 AM and it was still there at about 6:00 PM. Must have been an epic ride.BullittX said:Straight up the trail, from trailhead to trailhead. That's how I started riding Noble many years ago. Nowadays we do a 30+ miles loop of epic riding.

Anytime you guys want to join us, our rides are medium paced with plenty of breaks.

Ha, we take a lot more breaks than that! I'd say at least 7-10 breaks depending on the weather.Kornphlake said:Yeah, if you call plenty of breaks one at the beginning and one at the top and one at the bottom.
