Wow - so no one checks this out much.
Ok - this Sunday, 21, July 2013 for those in the OC area, meet at Whiting Ranch entrance (Ralph's entrance side) at 8 AM, through Whiting to 4-corners then over to The Luge and back to Whiting for Cactus trail back out.
Ping me to confirm. |

| I'll be riding in Whistler. Likely one day on It's Business Time and maybe the monster climb up to Kashmir. I think that would take an hour and a half of pure up followed by an exciting decent that includes a rope assist section. |

OC- you've been hitting the trails pretty hard this week. A little down time and recovery beer would be good.
Oldfart - oh to be up at Whistler for some serious trail riding. A great all-around MTB venue! |

| Oldfart -- would you elaborate on the rope assist section? Sounds memorable. |

| Did end up riding yesterday, slow, slow the entire way up on 34x25 but figured it be better than no riding. Heat and poor air quality not helping. And after a week of sitting at a desk my left side is tied in its usual knot. No more mountain magic, ughh. |

| I have only seen pictures of a steep slot on the trail. A rope is there to hang on to to get down it. It ain't that bad but one handed with a bike is challenging. There was a trail like that up on Cypress too. It was called the Ed Sullivan Memorial because the builder looked like Ed. It dropped into a steep sided creek which was short but un rideable. Like the section on Kashmir. |
