    Long time on/off So Cal Trailrider here. I guess beginner rides at the Floop were my social rides. These days, especially these days I ride solo, but wouldn't mind some company. Hopefully not too long in the future we can get back to partying. Ride on and stay safe everyone.

    Welcome to the crazy...

    There are quite a few Floopers on here. I made it there once for a big group ride, and thought it was pretty cool how everything was strung together. :thumbsup:

    Welcome @TherealJohnG ! You have sevaral here that hit the FLOOP on a regular basis, so there is no problem connecting and hitting it old STR type folkses.

    Glad you returned to the fold! Welcome back to the last sanity.

    Welcome aboard. I ride the floop regularly but don't talk too much about it cause these guys on here will make fun of me.

    Floop... Well I've moved, so that will take a bit of traveling. I live at the foot of SART these days, learning how to climb. Crafton Hills is where I loop now. Thanks for the warm welcome.

    Your avatar shows you in the air. Your bike is a singlespeed. Both ends of the badass spectrum. No one's going to make fun of you.

    And welcome @TherealJohnG! You've joined a great group of people - well, with a few notable exceptions (looks in mirror)!

    I thought we fixed that by driving down there and riding the FLOOP, sharing here in our own very words how awesome it was...

    ;)

    Edit: Of course I had to go read every bit of it again and smile...

    Clearly this individual was out of shape and no match for the FLOOP. The climb to get to this grassy knoll was taxing at best. It may have been the commentary (contained in the video) leading up to this location...



    Fortunately, he recovered to provide great words of wisdom... :whistling:
