    omg that looked fun. I've never been up there, such a hassle getting across LA to ride from OC. But now I think I have to!

    Same here! That looks like fun, and might be worth the drive.

    Mikie & I may jokingly refer to it as our northern version of the floop but Tapia is definitely worth riding. It doesn't have some of the breathtaking views of other rides but there's a nice network of trails. It's a beginner friendly area but also fun for the fast guys. G-out is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

    That looks so fun! 100s of trail undulations - no wonder it's called g-out. :) Looks like it never gets steep, and there are no rock features, so I get why it is popular with beginners and noobs. How crowded does it get on weekend mornings?

    By the way, @Mikie must have been going so fast because of that pesky swarm of bees - or was it an angry fly - that was following him the whole way. Sounded like they finally relented when he stopped at the end. Phew! :whistling:

    The newbs hate that trail, ha ha! It has some tricky twists to include 90 degree corners into a little punchy climb, narrow sections with exposure (not great heights, but you could tumble 15 feet), and lots of "G" Outs (thus the name). For those that love speed on swoopy twists, it is the total hoot. Combined with Dog Tags (the next less technical trail) it is worth the drive up to hit a few rounds on! :thumbsup:
