Had to change the date to Tuesday - I'm gonna be at Baldy on Thursday.

 

Date change to Tuesday means there is an Angels home game that night. The train could be delayed going back to Irvine.

 

I love the idea. Last time I was hit by a car it was on the Fully loop, so, I'm kind of on the fence... Fully loop, the only trail in OC that'll get you hit by a car!

 

Neat idea...

 

I dunno....saw my life flash in front of my eyes a few weeks ago going up Maple Springs. Way too close if you ask me.

 

Excellent shindig!

 

Wait until you cross Coto de Caza drive on the Rwanda ride. You'll have the chance to be flattened by a Real Housewife!

This is a really cool ride idea... Of course, I said that the last time this was posted. I'm destined to stay a Floop virgin.

 

That's nothin' compared to crossing PCH in Long Beach. And I've done both!!

 

Crossing Euclid on the FLoop on a Sunday morning isn't bad. Any other time, close your eyes and PEDAL, DAMMIT!!

 

Just realized that Over the Hump will be happening that same Tuesday.
I might be changing this to Monday now.
Gotta mull it over.

 

The great thing about the FLoop is that, for me, it's 6 miles away.

 

Definite change to Monday the 15th.

 

by the time this happens the date will change so many times it'll be the 4th of July!

 

On for tonight, fingers crossed the contractor is out of my house on time.
I don't have a IMTB Jersey, so just look for the guy riding up on an ancient 26" Giant HT. It's blue.
Hopefully stays dry enough.

 

Stay frosty. Trails were nice last few nights. Hit some PR on a lot of the trails.
