Saturday Morning Coastal Cruise

Good to meet you too, Noel! Thanks for calling out.

@MattB and I ran across no chillen's yesterday in LCWP or Aliso. I think there was a large group with the Laguna Canyon Riders that @Faust29 and @mtnbikej encountered on their way bak to Quail. I agree - good to see them outside doing something real rather than video screens.

 

The best part was their behavior... Every one gave us the right of way going uphill and called out to the riders behind. I'd bet the guy who almost took us out at mach schnell was not part of their group. The adult who was riding with the kids was at the back of the pack, shepherd style and in control.

 

I am guessing the shepherd was Facundo Malbran. Seems to be a real good dude, and is completely dedicated to the Laguna Canyon Riders - kids division.

 

PSM! (2017 ride)That's huge @herzalot !!!

 

Since this thread was resurrected... I choked up a little. Noel died on the trail at El Moro about two years ago. Maybe 3 already?

I didn't know him well, but he was very kind and stoked about others' stoke. The world needs more @poofighters, not less.

 

I just rode last week with a couple of his friends... We stopped by the site. He is still missed for sure.
