Last week was a fantastic start for our Wednesday Ride season. 17 Riders bravely ignored the weather forecast and enjoyed Black Star. Thank you to everyone joining us. We hope you experienced fun and a great time, like we had!
This week, 03/03, we will be back to Santiago Truck Trail
When: Roll off 6:00pm after a short introduction to safety rules
Meeting point: at the famous Cooks Corner. (Parking Lot - Live Oak Canyon Road and just look for Sho-Air/Sonance Jersey\'s):
19152 Santiago Canyon Road,
Trabuco Canyon, CA 92679
Beginner Rider Course Description:
While this ride will not really require intermediate level skills, riding with lights adds for sure some difficulty to it. So we do not recommend this ride as your first ride. Further it’s going to be one long climb and as a reward one long downhill. We start actually on pavement going north on Santiago Canyon Road, turn right on Modjeska Grade Road, which is a serious but luckily short climb. After a well deserved rest we continue our climb on Santiago Truck Trail (too wide to call it a single track but also too narrow to call it a fire road). It’s not really steep but just a very long climb (about 30 minutes). Depending on the speed of the group we will have 1 or 2 stops before reaching the “Flag Pole“. Then we will turn around and enjoy all the way down. Bring a 2nd layer to wear. It might get already a little bit chilly right after dark. Expect total riding time somewhere around 90 Minutes.
Experienced Rider Course Description:
Pretty much the same like the beginners but you guys will ride all the way to “Old Camp” and on the way back you are going to rush down the luge !
The good thing about this ride, you cannot go anywhere else! So for example: if you start with the experienced group but decide it is to far, just turn around and most likely at some point you will be picked up by the beginner group.
Again, on this ride, LIGHTS are MANDATORY! Also expect temperature to drop into the 40s, when it gets dark. Both groups will meet back in the parking lot at Cooks Corner.
Looking forward to ride with everyone from last week and of course all new participants!
