Calling out all MTB (Mountain Bikers) in the San Diego area!

I couldnt make it today Al. On friday I had to fire the painter that was painting my house, So im at home right now while somebody else finishes the work. I fly out to hawaii next sunday and wont be back until the 9th of august... we can ride after then...

 

I do triathlons, and only have a road bike....

used to MTB, although, some of those trail pictures look too much for me.

but looks like a blast! have fun fellas, be safe

 

If any of you want me to edit my first post with a ride you'd like to plan, just let me know or shoot me a PM. That way everyone can see it without searching all the pages for an upcoming ride.

No problem at all. That's what this thread is all about. Trying to get together is half the battle. Haha.

I can't say I do it often, but I would and have ridden on the road with my mountain bike. The last time I went on a serious road ride was about 5 years ago. My friend Joseph and I biked from the golf course in Temecula (on the border of San Diego) to the Taco Bell on Mission George Road next to the stadium. That was a great ride. I'd be down to ride some time as well.

 

Hey Albert, I am up for the Mission Trails run. I normally start out of Father Juniper so it would be cool to see more of the park. Should be blazin. Cant start any earlier?
Not sure about Noble Canyon. Thats a little too far out for me to schedule.

 

Yeah man we can start earlier. What did you have in mind? 9am? The other side of Mission Trails in awesome.

 

9 sounds good to me.
Common I know there are more SD mountain bikers out there Tacoma World. Don't be lazy people.

 

Quick question
Any body racing in the 24 Hours of Adrenaline race in Hurkey Creek sept 19-20 2010. I'm doing the 8 hour solo. Just wondering otherwise sorry to go off topic.

 

I'm hoping to do it in Sept. I usually skip that one and do the one in April, but that one was cancelled this year. Last year I did the 8 hour 2 person team only to feel like Sh*t the whole night. I still think I had the swine flu but never made it in. Looking to join a team?

 

Sure of course this will be my first 24 hr race so I dont want to slow the team by taking long time laps. I was hoping for 4 laps during the 4 hr solo. My training is lacking right now.

 

My fastest lap time was the same the last two years at 1 hour 6 min. I was sick last year so I assume I should be better this time around. On that note, the professionals are pulling lap times of 45-46 min lap after lap after lap.

So your telling me you wouldn't mind being at around 10th place with me on board or a pro and you guys at 2nd or 3rd. Okay sounds good.

 

Crap, I don't think I am going to make it tomorrow. Sorry Albert, we'll get a ride in eventually.

 

It's all good. I hurt my knee yesterday and wanted to call it off, but I didn't want to let you down. Haha. Either way, I'm glad to relax tomorrow. Soon though.

Changed the date for next Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My group from O.C. may be going to Noble on 9/18. If any S.D. guys can make it. That would be great. would love to meet some of you bums.
let me know

 

Sounds like fun. I might be down. Haven't been to noble in a while. Im pumped up too because i came back from riding big bear a couple of weekends ago. What fun!

 

Boopie/Ramon. I'd like to ride with you guys some time. I'll be for sure when i get back from deployment in Nov. Seems like you guys are hardcore trail riders though, i would like to start with a beginer course when i get to ride with you guys

 

Anybody down to ride Mission Trails tomorrow?
As of now, I think I'm still down for Noble the following weekend.

 

I'll be at the Otay trails tomorrow morning. Picked up a used GT and I'm going with a couple of buddies. This will be my first time out. Hopefully I don't go and hurt myself.

 

I'm sure you'll do just fine. I think you know Ron also just bought a bike. He is new to the sport (recreational for him though). Give him a ring. Otay lakes has its fun areas. You can also ride Upper Otay and take the trail behind The Woods back to Lower Otay. Food for thought.
