Santiago Oaks Sunday
- Thread starter downhillzeypher
- Start date
If only I knew where all these trails were!
I'd be intersted in ridng somewhere new.
hey David......sunday looks definate for Santiago..we are going to shuttle it for the day. Chris should be coming down too
Hey... uhm... how do I get to this place? lol
from the 909 valley of the dirt people, take the 57 south to the 91 east, exit at weir canyon, turn right onto weir canyon, right on serrano, to the shuttle drop off at the top, left on hidden canyon, right on avenida de santiago
Oh yea, count me in too, if my wrist is ok by then that is...

I'm on a 00' Bullit with 6" at best. you should be fine. I don't think any of us going have ridden there beofre. maybe Chris.Homey said:
DHZ-Nick will be coming too, anaheim hills right next to my gf house
I guess we'll bring as many trucks as we can and shuttle it. you need to come ride oakley sometime. Nick and I did some work on it today and added a couple new little bridges gapping a big trench.PS...you need to change your sig now.
cool the more the merrier. it will be sunday..not sure on time..probably 10am. any idea how to get there from the south? I figure we should all meet at the bottom for ease of shuttling.theOtherMrT said:
from the south, 5 up to the 55, 91 east. rest is the same
if we are meeting at the bottom, we'd better meet on the corner of mabury and orange park near the bottom of serrano rd. (that's the pickup spot, a little trail follows Santiago creek that ends on the street)

Is this place that shopping center?
it's in a neighborhood, way closer than shuttling through Windes rd. park entrance.
After you make the right on serrano, how far is hidden canyon?theOtherMrT said:
~1.5 miles
Canyon rim rd. is the last intersection with lights, so after Canyon rim, start looking to the left for hidden canyon, beware it is as it states - hidden.
Are we still on for 10 AM? If it rains, we'll ride until it rains.

I don't understand why anyone would want to shuttle the Oaks.
Hey, I love that place and ride it more then any other spot it seems.
But even with a shuttle you still have to push up the last bitch at best.
Seems to me if you are going to the hassle of getting a shuttle deal going you would have more fun at TL or a few of the others we don't talk about on the net.
But hey, to each their own. Just watch out for the up hill climbers and hikers on that mutli use trail. Have fun!
Homey, any bike will be fine. There are guys out there on ridged single speeds that rip.

So where are we meeting? Top or @ Malbury and Orange park?
I don't think you get it, buddy. We shuttle to the TOP because that's the right way to do it.
I'm going to be at the top, and if you have trouble finding the pick up spot at the bottom, I can assist.
theOtherMrT said:
Hell I'll prolly still ride even then... I think I'll call AJ if I get lost...
Just pm me or post in the morning if you are going to be riding, so I won't have to wait out in the cold for nothing. I'll be on a black Ridge, scrawny asian dude, can't miss me.
I'll be there for sure don't worry lol. I just need to make sure I can get the right spot. Red tacoma, silver bighit. Can't miss it.
Ok, I'll be waiting around 10ish in the cul-de-sac at the end of Avenida de Santiago(probably trying to figure out the opening of the fence).
I thought we were meeting at the bottom?!?...lol..oh well..I've got a big red Jeep and a Blue bullit..David..call me I lost your number and don't trust that I know where I'm going, I've never riden there.

If it rain AT ALL, you guys should really consider riding somewhere else. These trails do not deal well with water. Not only will your ruts tear up the trails and not be looked kindly upon by other (more wealthy and vocal) trail users, but with the slightest bit of standing water, the dirt turns to clay and peanut butter that will eat your bike and make riding pretty impossible.
What he said.Rabie said:
It's awesome that you guys are stoked on riding, I wish more people could understand how fun it is to ride bikes. However, why are you guys so adamant about posting shuttle directions to multi-use trails on public forums, and then being so vocal about it. Why don't you guys use PM or phones. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but your conversations on-line travel a lot further than you would know.
I'd be happy to show you guys a really fun, long shuttle right in your backyard if you'll be a little more discretionary about your posts.
BTW, I grew up in Maybury, started riding the oaks in '89. I feel very strongly about preserving this area. A few years ago the rangers were discussing the closure of this area to bikers. Several people have been actively involved with the rangers to keep this from happening, but we riders don't need to give the rangers any more ammunition. know what i mean?
What both of them said.
It's a really fun place but it is right next to Irvine Park. Lots of hikers and just people out with their kids on THAT trail on weekends. Ride it during the week and you hardly see anyone.
And yes, with yesterdays rains, it's going to be pretty snotty out there.

Update: It is raining at the Oaks.
Hey Brian, did you get your cast off? How is it? Ready for a Bootleg trip at the end of the month?
Hey Brian, did you get your cast off? How is it? Ready for a Bootleg trip at the end of the month?
Yep, got the cast off last week. Dr. said it's just starting to heal, showed me the x-ray and the bones are still displaced but healing fine. anyhow, he said 4 more weeks until light riding. Don't think bootleg constitutes light riding. At this point, riding SJT will be pretty cool. Who're you going with?Rabie said:

Spookydave......guess he just doesn't get it. Nothing like ushing your 50lb beast up the 3 Bitches. Hell, there is a lot of satisfaction cleaning all 3 bithces on a 41 lb Bullit.
Not to mention the guy riding the V10, Super Monster, Doublewides and Gazzi 3.0's cleaning all 3 Bitches.
Be a man and pedal up. You wanna shuttle....go to Aliso..
:mumble: The Oaks are no fun when it is wet and rainy.

raining..I'm not going..maybe next weekend...guess it'll be a day to brave the malls and get some xmas shopping done.

Just starting to heal? Must be tough being old.W4S said:
And there are no set plans for the Bootleg trip, but I'll be off work for like a week after Christmas, so I'll probably throw it out there at some point.
Well just to please you guys, or fortune have it, nothing happened. I'll be fixin up that table top out there and continuing my work on NS stunts in my backyard.
Pleasing us by using common sense? Hope that was sarcasm, because everybody's trying to be helpful so that you don't make any mistakes that could have consequences. Remember, we've been riding these trails since before you were born. :eviltongutheOtherMrT said:
what kind of stunts are you building? got pictures?
Rabie said:
Dude, that hurts. You must really like pedalling uphill.
FYI, the doc says it usually takes bones 5 weeks to start healing. Weren't you out 8 weeks for yours, b1tch?
Aw ****, I'd wish I'd check this before I left
So what's up for next week?
So what's up for next week?
I got some ladder drops going (1 done, 1 more coming along). I have plans to infest the 2 acres in the back with a spiderweb of skinnies, teeters and whatnot.
Next week, if the weather allows, same plan?

ya same plan next week....if you are going to be building today maybe my buddy and I will come up and help
Thanks, maybe another time, I ran out of scrap lumber/tree trunks. I need to go grab some more from my buddy, but he's way the hell out in the 909 running some charity race.
Uhh, now I don't think you get it, buddy.theOtherMrT said:
All we are asking is to not give out all the info on the shuttles on the net. Maybe plan a ride on the net with a "PM me for the details". That's all we're asking man. I know the ranger out there pretty well because we're both into high performance boating. I know how he fells about building and the DH shuttles in general. So keeping things on the down low will help everyone.
We almost got banned a few years ago. Don't give the horse folks ammo that they can print out is all we're asking. No one here is trying to be a d i c k about it so please don't take it that way.
And yeah, lets see some pics of your stunts. Sounds pretty cool.
The table top/stunts up top are not part of the park. Pics are coming. Sorry, 'bout the info leeking out, it was all part of my evil plan to be a menace to society.
