    I gots some bikes.
    Many of my Florida friends, with whom I weathered 3 hurricanes, are without power, water, and most essentials. Our old neighborhood is under a couple feet of flood water, and the temps are mid 90s... 120 inside with no AC. A couple have had their homes erased from the map.

    And compared to our friends in the Keys, those are vacation conditions.

    I grew up in that area, spent a lot of time at bonelli. They'll have to do some major work and Earth moving to get it to resemble anything near a decent MTB course.
    Better off at santiago oaks IMO.

    I'm going to drive up there after work and look for another ride to add to my quiver.

    I can fit 4 bikes in my truck for the drive back home. Any requests?

    I'm hoping that one in the tenth row back, 6th over to the right is an S-works Epic.

    I thought heroine was renewed "high of choice" these days? That could explain not giving a F, or completely forgetting they even brought a bike...

    I think they should have a bright emblem on them, like fake guns do. And a huge fine for removing the emblem.

    Check out the user updated map for eMTB trails linked in that article: People for Bikes e-MTB Map. If you zoom in on OC you'll see that someone has listed a bunch of trails in Chino Hills State Park as eMTB legal. Is that right? Fortunately, the only other trails I saw are sections of the fire roads in the Santa Anas where motorized vehicles are allowed.

    If you want to throw up a little, "PeopleForBikes" has a whole page dedicated to eBikes (http://peopleforbikes.org/our-work/e-bikes/), with a section toward the bottom specifically focused on eMTB :gag:. Ironically, the eMTB Trail Etiquette Guidelines link returns a "Page not found":confused:. There are also a bunch of broken links to eMTB trail building guidelines. I can't wait until eMTBs start being used as another reason to dumb down the trails and make every trail a series of low grade switchbacks.:bang:
