The suburbs of Mexico.....
We went to the Sycamore Cyn-Martha's Grove loop in East County San Diego this weekend. Enjoying the beautiful weather. :biggrin:


Edlubba coaching us on how to just pin it.


Into the trees...burnt but nonetheless trees.


Edlubba always takes biking so seriously.


Breaking in a spanking new Nomad. -Adrian.


Sherman out-posed all -even edlubba


For both Orven and I this has become an instant favorite trail with miles of sweet rolling and twisty singletrack.


While the rest of the pack get their breathing back, Oz burned some rubber.
We were hoping he'd wipe out for the camera. :p




Another climb, another breather.


edlubba working it.


"No, the camera was off. I did not take any shot." ;) :biggrin:


All smiles just for Hooples :cheers:


All was well...


...and then wtf?? :p


Mile 9 and we still haven't hit the climbs yet.


Yielding to the equestrians. Co-exist.


Orven took an onboard shot while climbing the fireroad grade...I'm still smiling :banana:


The rest of our group hunkering down.


After some steep but short bursts of climbs, it's payday!!






whoops. ;)


In the grove.




Edlubba forced a passed on Adrian.


more singletrack!!!!


We carried on just riding all the singletrack on the way back.
Fun new sections, all singletracks.
17 miles of riding earned us a trip to In N Out. :)

Lovebunny stayed home again.

We set to start the ride around 8AM, but that's 9:00ish in Filipino time for some.
With dicking around and one minor injury break for one rider, we got back to the parking lot like around 12ish.
Next time, now we know where the new singletracks are, we'll prolly double loop some of the singletracks for kicks.

Where do you guys start from? West Hills? Didn't realize that ride was 17 mi.
17 miles is just the most obvious route. There are TONS of off-shoots to the left and right to back loop and such. There's also Cardiac Hill to tow in unsuspecting non-climbing freeriders to earn their keeps. This is also a prime area for night riding -except Weds nights when night ride traffic is high.

Looks like Sycamore is recovering nicely...it was pretty devastated last time I was there. That Martha's section is just a blast. Fun times.

Shyrmp is going to get jealous of you fawning on Orven like that.
