Mtn. Biking!

[deno]

any other Hypercyclers into mountain biking?

I've been out of it for a while but trying to get back into riding the bicycle in the local canyons as of late. Need to get these scrawny legs back into shape before I crank up any real hills:ha:

bout to take off for a little ride right now

:D

[shichyea]

I'd like to get back into it too.

I haven't rode in a few years but I needs to start going again.

Cool! Lets hook up sometime Deno...

[HondaRider22]

I just road my mtn bike today! It's been a really long time for me too. We should definetly go sometime...

[cbrsmurf]

I want to get into mtn biking... I've gone once and had a blast. Unfortunately... no bike... or helment.

[deno]

I'm planning on doing some riding this week. You guys know any good singletrack round these parts. Was thinking about hitting up Cuyamaca but I think it'll be a bit nipply out in those elevations.

Let's try and ride on those days that our regularly scheduled rides get rained out. If you don't mind getting a little dirty:devil:

[shichyea]

sounds good deno, mike... lets ride. i work m-f 9-5, but weekends are good.

...well i don't really work, but i have to be here no less.

[pasta fredo]

that's off the 52 freeway right?

That's where I've been riding the last couple days since I can ride there from my house. Some pretty easy trails and not much elevation change

[shichyea]

yeppers! yea it's pretty close for me too... keep me in the loop next time you go... (sat, sun)

fun spot for sure.

[deno]

you guys want to get together for a ride on Saturday perhaps?

[GPTECHMAN]

anyone got an extra bike?

[shichyea]

Saturday's good for me.

yeah Sean I got an extra bike for you.

You're still in Hawaii, no?

[onogsxr]

I'm down with mtn biking - gotta make due with my 90's era hardtail. Not very pretty but I guess it does the job! Sure miss living in SD - but we have a lot of trails here in the Foothills if you want to drag your bikes out here. Keep me in the loop - if I feel like gettin out of town, I'll meet up with ya'll.

[HondaRider22]

I'm looking forward to going rain or shine. Someone set a date. I'm free sundays and mondays (for now).

Deno i just want to get started on your trany...

Gawd, it's been close to five to six years since I rode down there. I just remeber that there were a couple of places down there that onogixer and I used to ride at. One was off the 52....fairly flat and all fire trail. The other was a trail that went from the 15 to the 5 (the exact location will come to me after I wake up).....great trail and some single track I'll blow the dust off the bike if you guys want to set a date and time.

[HondaRider22]

I THINK WE SHOULD DO THE SORENTO VALLEY TRAIL THAT GOES FROM THE 5 TO BLACK MTN ROAD I THINK IT IS. IT'S THAT PENASQUITOS CANYON ROUGHT. IT'S A 14 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IT'S NOT TO CHALLANGING OF A RIDE :)

[shichyea]

sounds good mike.

[HondaRider22]

Now, should I bust out the hard-tail or the full suspension? :)

Luck dawg! What's the hard-tail and the full sup?

That 14 mile stretch is pretty schweet and should be a lot of fun.

[shichyea]

So if mikes route is acceptable for you guys...

mike/deno/alfredo... what time and where to meet? not too early arrite? none of that dawn patrizzle shizzle :D

[shichyea]

How aboutish 1030 at the shell, mira mizz ?

[HondaRider22]

We'll meet at about 10 a.m at the west side of the penasquitos canyo. It is off of Sorrento Valley road. There is a big parking lot about a mile or so from the railroad tracks on the south side of the road. We'll meet there and ride. Bring a lunch and plenty of water.

[HondaRider22]

Ok, 10:30 :-D

[shichyea]

see you there ponderous mtl ;)

[deno]

aight. I'll see you guys there;)

[shichyea]

That 14 mile stretch is pretty schweet and should be a lot of fun.

In my biking years I built up two bikes. One is a full suspension xc/dual slalum bike (~5.5" total travel) and the other one is a hard tail (with front suspension) xc mtn bike.

[deno]

got Shaggy to come along with us as well:headbang:

[HondaRider22]

Cool, the more the better. I think we should ride then go back to the cars and eat some sandwiches and drink some beer and listen to music :headbang: oh and catch our breaths :-p

Who else is comming?

[shichyea]

rear tire isn't holding air... ?? it's leaking like a sive from the base of the valve stem (where the nut tightens against the rim) I inflated the tires two days ago and they were fine. I don't get it.

[HondaRider22]

The valve stem is probably ripped at the base. Get a new tube and install it very carefully. I'll bring extra inner tubes and tools to the ride day. Or you can cruise on over to deno's place for the maintenance day thing tomorrow and after wards we'll be going over to my place and we can do it then.

[shichyea]

Cool thanks Mike. My neighbor said he'd hook it up for me tomorrow. I just gotta go buy an inner tube.

...but Thanks!

Pretty nice collection of toys you got there!

How'd the ride go boys?

[HondaRider22]

Since there was confusion last time lets set a certain date. I was thinking SUNDAY JANUARY,18. Is that cool with all of you?

[shichyea]

I'll prolly have to skip this one Mike... 18th is my bday and with a little help, I shouldn't be in any condition to go riding. ;)

[HondaRider22]

Well happy birth-day bro! Next time then...
