coffee,beer, and pizza before a long bike ride? wtf
- m2100
yeah... interesting.
beer and pizza are post ride of course. they usually get 100 riders out on the trails.
could be good. santiago canyon is a good ride for sure...

hmmm. that sounds pretty fun (except for the meet at 8:30 am! damn that's early!)
not sure exactly where that is...but i think it's pretty close to my place.
- m2100
ride starts at 9:30... so that buys you some time. gotta get out on the trails before the snakes come out.... they're out in full force already.

what's the trail like? i have yet to really go mountian biking since i moved here...only street biking heh.
my bike is rickety so if the trail is hardcore i will probably end up at the bottom of some cliff.
- m2100
yeah its mountain biking for sure. first part is double track big climb (im told), then a pretty good climb called "3 bitches", then great down hilll with some rolling rocky sections in between the climbs.
just go and wear a helmet.
i suspect there will be lots of levels of riders...

how miles is the whole thing?
- m2100
i honestly dont know - i havent done this route. i'm planning on a good few hours. not many miles, but the climbs will add up. if its too short, a few of us will do a little 1/2 loop to get some more dh in.
we'll be ready to nurse a brew after the ride for sho'.

I will get down to 185 then I'll join up
- m2100

anyone else?

Sounds dangerous.
Although, right now I'm designing on coffee, cigarettes, beer and weed. Now THAT is what I call 'living on the edge'.

The ride is pretty good...the 3 bitches (we always called it Hell Hill) are steep and sandy. The part OUT (into Irvine) is for better riders only. It is a long ride for sure. Peters alone is a couple miles, then another4 or so into Santiago Oaks, and the drop into Irvine adds a couple.
Thats only the last part.

I'll meet you there at the end of summer. I will be incredibly lean and vigrious. I will even rub one while climbing the three bitches
- m2100
i've ridden 3 bitches or hell hill lots. love it. anyone else in the o.c. here? rode 3 hours today in el morrow. always a nice mellow ride there except for the constant up-downs.
- pocho0
Hey m210...have you ever tried that huge hill at Peter's Canyon? The one when you enter from the North. Scary steep...coming down is wicked.
- m2100
i havent yet. heard lots about it.
lately we've been riding in el morrow / aliso canyon - its in our back yard so its nice and close. we head out to cooks corner, and san juan lots too.. and 3 b's but i'm new to peter canyon.
- pocho0
El Morro is a fun ride but HOT during the summer. Peters is right down the street from 3b's. It has a cool little forest area and that wicked hill. I've only seen two people make it up...and going down is SO fast.
I gotta get my ass on the bike! I'm so outta shape.
- m2100
nice. yeah 'morrow was warm today, but not too bad with the clouds and breeze coming off the ocean. a few snakes though... one rattler.
whenever you want, drop me a line and we can get out for a ride.
- pocho0
give me a couple months...Pocho has been having too much beer and not enough bike.
