January 17th 2009 Bike Ride Recap

The ride this weekend was great! A bit more challenging than originally expected, but still a lot of fun. It turned out to be about five and half miles total. Thank you all for coming and having an adventureous spirit!

Kudos to Aileen!! This was a very challenging ride, made even more difficult with a Hybrid bike, but she stuck with it, no complaining and lots of smiles!



Some Beautiful views of the valley and SOKA University!

A challenging start!

Pleasant ride along West Ridge Trail

Then we came to Rock-It...

a very pleasant little single track... why do they call it Rock-it?

Oooh! Rock-It!

Emergency surgery by Dr. Dave

Coyote Run was very pretty

Wood Canyon Trail was a easy way to finish

















The rare and deadly Aliso Viejo Wolfhound!

Everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves in the end...which leads me to believe that this ride was obviously not hard enough. I'll be planning another ride soon and will make it more challenging! Thanks again for riding, see you all again soon!

January 17th 2009 Bike Ride

Ride will start approximately 1:30PM, we will meet at Trans house. This will give us all enough time to eat a light snack (bananas, apple, Clif bar, etc.) and rest a little. Make sure to have plenty of water or, preferably, sports drink with you.

You will have to wear a helmet for this ride. Don’t forget to bring it.

This will be on off-road route so make sure you have your dirt tires.
We will be going on the Wood Canyon, Cholla, Rock-it route in Aliso Viejo Woods park. The beginning of the ride will be a steep downhill then a more gradual uphill on the return. Total ride is 11 miles.

Bring your swimsuit if you want to hit the hot tub afterwards!
