    I'm in!

    Warning - I will be tinkering with shock settings, which means I also need to hit Rock-It - the very best suspension test run. You can ditch me if I am holding up the group or riding the wrong trails.

    How about 5-Oaks, Rock-It, Car Wreck (then more as time, legs and energy desires).

    Orrrrrrrr 5-Oaks, Cholla, Stairs (down and up), Rock-It, Mathis, Car Wreck. Yeah buddy!

    Tentative, I've got a busy Saturday lined up, but if I'm going to ride at all it'll be Aliso and early. So this lines up.

    I might join up!!! If the rain Friday night hit Aliso hard, how will the ride be canceled? On this thread?

    ^^What they said.

    So far, El Nino has typically under delivered, so I feel pretty confident.

    More likely a flood of "parkers." I heard an unconfirmed report that the Ranger Station parking lot will be inaccessible because the bridge off Alicia (which is one lane currently) will be completely closed on Friday. No reopening date at this time. Again, unconfirmed, and hopefully won't happen, but if it does it will: increase pressure on other entry areas, and/or possibly lower overall number of people on trails.

    FWIW: I'm guessing the bridge closure and "exit only" past the school won't be popular with the Mormon church either.

    I'm interested in joining but it sounds like parking may suck. IF parking doesn't suck, where is the best place to park? Any tips or links or google map points? Assuming I can't make the meet time.

    Park anywhere along that street, Canyon Vistas, even if that means parking up the hill a ways. The parking there is always usually pretty busy, but for an 0800 start time you should have plenty of room.

    I'm now only tentative due to weather. I've cleared my morning to ride this, I just have to be home by noon - but I'm local so if for whatever reason we are still going strong and it is approaching noon, I can find my way home no problem at all :)

    I don't know about the rest, but I define the category of slow climber - so yes! Get your azz down here.

    I'm on the fence about joining this ride. The only thing keeping me from jumping all the way over the fence, is I got to be home by 11 am. And, I live in Cypress. I do not think my window of opportunity is big enough.

    Seems like plenty of time to me. Roll at 8, leave by 10:30. You're golden.

    As for cancelling the ride, if the park is open, it's on. I will post here to cancel as well.

    As for the route, I'm good with anything. I'll be on a bright orange Giant Reign.

    It rained pretty good for about an hour in Laguna from 3-4pm today. I don't expect it will miraculously dry overnight. Sooooo, I am guessing the park will be closed initially, then maybe opened later in the day. The good new is that it is not listed as closed yet, so we have a slim chance. I can't start a ride much later than 9:30 am, as I need to be home around noon.

    I'm looking at it the other way- we could get nearly double and the park will be open. #optimist. :)

    If I go, I will start much earlier and hopefully cross paths with you all. Herz's new rig will be hard to miss. I will be on a murdered out nomad. Grey Troy Lee helmet, red beard, & white Troy Lee gloves. Holla!!!!!!!

    Good luck getting on the trails.

    The rain hit hard pretty early out here in the foothills and not much overnight, so many of the Santa Anas trails are good to go today. National Forest: We (almost) never close.

    Are the rangers even going to get to the park before we have to set out in order to get there at 8am to possibly close it? lol
