Where: Snow Summit Big Bear Mountain Bike Park - Parking Lot When: 7:30 or 8:00 AM on Saturday September 11, 2010 What to bring: Mountain bike, Sandwiches for yourself, usual repair and safety gear, and hydration for bike Map of ride: Click on the map below <a href="http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=39367" rel="nofollow">http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=39367</a> Contacts: If youre Going - Call or Text Mesg Paul Johnson 951-255-8174 Due to logistics of riding on the road in Big Bear, we are changing the ride in Big Bear - it is now an easy dirt fire road and single track mountain bike ride around Snow Summit Park. You dont need a lift pass. We will park in the Parking lot infront of Snow Summit Mountain Bike Park, then ride around the perimeter of the park. The ride very non technical so there are no rock drops or difficult riding, it is extremely scenic and offers views of the whole valley and lake. There is some climbing - but less climbing than a normal road ride, and if you dont like it you can turn around and follow a fire road back! I did this ride in 2 hours myself and I am slow - so we estimate 1.5 - 3 hours at the tops! We plan to start at 8, end before 10 or 11 and just hang out and have sandwiches - that we bring ourselves. Again Call or text me if your going....

This will require a remote start location. We will start from the mill creek ranger station on highway 38 just past Bryant. This ride will be 60 miles with about 7000 ft of climbing. It won't be easy but it will be lots of fun. So get your climbing legs ready. Everyone is welcome so don't be shy. Questions regarding this ride?

We'll start at 7:30am from the McDonalds just past the instersection of Route 66 and S Lone Hill Ave. There is an old gas station next to it and a Starbucks across from it. Ride up on GMR to East Fork Rd, left turn and down East Fork Rd to HWY 39, right turn and up, up, up to Crystal Lake. On the way back, all the way down on HWY 39 to Azusa and then heading East back to McD's. So far, just Marty and myself... come out if you are in for a real "Labor Day"! Ride: approx. 65 miles, easily 6000ft of climbing 5-7.5%.(long sustained climbs) A little hazy in the morning on the foothills, but clear all day. Temperatures: at the start 62-67F; at 5000ft 68-73F; back in the valley 83-88F. Winds: on the climb, a little gusty at times up to 15mph+ W-WNW. (How do I know this, you ask?

We had 31 riders and a lot of fun. When entering the building and seeing the wooden banked track, there was a moment of terror. The ends of the track are banked at 47 degrees and look almost vertical at first glance. We all made our way down to the pit area and got our rental bikes. After we all set up our bikes we sat down for a lesson on track riding. The instructor, who seemed very serious and not much fun at first turned out to have a great sense of humor and was very patient with us. He did change tones with us when we messed up and let us know that we were bad but immediately went back to his humorous self. We started out with many laps on the very bottom of the track in the "Blue Band" to get us used to the fixed gear bikes. We then split up into groups and followed Andrew (the instructor) around the track several times and moved up the black line. The black line is the lowest part of the banked portion of the track. Later we followed Andrew to the blue line on the track which is 1/3 of the way up the track. This was very fun and many of us ventured off the blue line up to the rail (the very top of the track). The top of the track is very exciting especially when you look down almost 30 feet straight down in the corners. All groups took their turns and did really well. We went in groups several times and most of us became very comfortable on the banked turns. We did have one mishap where someone slid down off the track but escaped with just a few scrapes and wood burns. When our session was over, Andrew offered to let us ride the track for a while. There was a good number of riders that stayed for that. All that completed the accelerated velodrome course are now certified and can go back any time during appropriate sessions and ride. All in all, this was a great experience. If you have never been, you should seriously consider doing this some day.

Looks like this is going to the shortest ride of the day on the hottest day of the year. Nothing new about this ride. Wanting to keep it a fast ride to get back before it get too hot. I Did want to mention that this group did have an accident last week on SART west of Van Buren. Two riders went down Eddie and Jason. Edit hit one of the poles in the path head on a 20+ mph. See attached picture to see what happens to a bike hitting a stationary object at that speed. Jason went down and ended up with a cracked helmet and was in ok condition. Eddie wasn't quite a lucky. He ended up with a concussion, sore wrist and leg. What I have heard, there wasn't any communication yelled out about the pole being in the path. I haven't heard how Eddie has been doing this week. If any has an update please share. The theme for the ride this week: safety, communication, fun, relax, and hydrate. To a certain extent I am partially responsible for sending the group of this size on the path. On the flip side, the group needs to be accountable to each other as well and communicate about hazards. I will let you know that our bicycling community advocate here in Riverside, Pete Staylor has been busy this week. Pete has written multiple e-mails and passed on the pictures to our local city, county and state government organizations and respresentatives on the hazard of having the poles in the bike path. If you happen to see Pete. You will more that likely see him on SART training for the Arthritis Ride in September. A simple thank you would be good.
