Announcing a new Meetup for Southern California Mountain Bikers!

What: Intermediate to Advanced - Sturtevant Trail to Lucky Baldwin's for beer

When: July 18, 2009 7:00 PM

Price: $20.00 per person

Where:
Lucky Baldwins Pub
21 Kersting Ct.
Sierra Madre, CA 91204

The Plan:
We load up the bikes onto cars and head to the top of Wilson. Once at the top, we will make our way past the observatory to the Sturtevant Trail or Mt Wilson Trail. Both trails are steep, technical and relentless downhill into Sierra Madre. This is not a beginner's ride but it is not an expert ride either. The key to enjoying this ride is staying in control and using good judgement.

Friday's are good because there are fewer people on the trail. Also mountain biking is a perfect way to ring in the weekend! If you have never been to Lucky Baldwins Pub you are in for a treat.

Logistics/Timing

Lets meet in Sierra Madre at 3:00. We need to depart @ 3:15PM - sharp. It will take an hour to get to top and gear up. 4:15PM - 6:15 - we are on the mountain. 6:30PM or so on - beer, conversation, and good times.

Sign up - let's ride!

Note:
If you do the Gabrielino Trail in the morning there will be plenty of time to make this shuttle too. It will only cost $10 for those on their second ride.


IMPORTANT:
Mountain biking is an inherently dangerous sport, especially for those who tend to take risks. As event organizers we assume absolutely no responsibility for you or your equipment. We are simply a mountain biking “buddy”, nothing more. If you choose to participate you assume all risk involved. Also, please adhere to the following:


* Always wear a helmet when mountain biking. This is mandatory, no exceptions.
* Protective pads, gloves etc are recommended on more technical rides.
* Know your limitations, and do not attempt what you are not comfortable with. Hike-a-bike is no shame.
* Bring at least one spare tube, sunscreen, energy bars/food and enough water. Hydration packs are encouraged.
* If you have radios, toolkit, pump/co2, or first aid kit, bring them.
* Be familiar with and follow trail rules and etiquette.
