9-18-2010 - Ride Report - crusin the Los Padres National Forest

Steve, Jill, Nathan, Ed, JJ and myself

We ended up doing a 38.6 mile loop.

We staged at Edison. Went through the Coyote and Sterling trails on the way up to the forest. The normal leisure loop, East Frazier to the fireroads. across the top to the Lookout. down Whata to Tejon. across Tejon to Long Dave. Down Long Dave to Lockwood Creek. Back up West Frazier and West Frazier Tie roads. Down Whata again to Tejon. down Tejon to the Hill Climbs off of Powerline. then to the stagin area.

Ed and Nathan played Mountaineer at the rock hill next to the Lockwood creek.

No one got hurt. Jill broke one Brake lever and that was just at the beginning of the East Frazier climb. She did really good. It's hard to believe this was only her second time up in the LPNF. Steve had a Hilarious tumble coming down the Whata trail switchbacks. He didn't get hurt, let's hope the camera got it.

A fun ride.

I thought about staying up there for the night and sleeping on that mattress, seeing as you all would be by in the morning. Then I thought about all the rat and coon feces on it and changed my mind:smirk: What a shame that people trashed such a cool place like this. They even drew a picture of me on the kitchen cabinet!
Looks like you all did some rock climbing too:thumb: nothing like that with moto boots on, twice the workout!
