Muni in Ojai day after Thanksgiving - Page 2

It would be sweet to do all 8 miles of pratt. You take a car around the back of norhdof ridge and ride down from there. However its like a 30min ride to the top.

So whats the plan guys?

I say just go for the standard Pratt run, or better yet, if Evan's pop can shuttle us higher on the trail, do that.

Jim called me and apparently he *won't* be in ojai on friday, but Simi valley instead. Not quite sure what's up with him yet, but sadly, I'm out as well as of now, but things might change.

We def have to do the upper sections of pratt, My madrea can shutte 4 of us up there. maybe 5 if you wana squeeze. I vote we do both upper and lower pratt, and foothill. Total sadly is about 2 miles. But its fun.

I will be in Ojai Friday and am stoked to ride. I have a big truck so can shuttle. Pratt sounds great!

Evan Byrne · 2006-11-20, 09:50 PM

Hrm, So who IS going?

Ok I guess I'm back in! HEy Evan, should we all meet at your house? Did you say that the longer shuttle point is about a 30 min drive from your house? So meeting time is set for about noon, give or take 30 min since I've got about a 100 drive!

jrdugueod · 2006-11-20, 10:42 PM

I'll be staying at the junction of the 33 and 150 highways and will need directions whereever we meet.

Evan Byrne · 2006-11-20, 11:24 PM

Well my freind who has biked the whole 8mile stretch says its quite boring on a uni, dont even bother. Its all smooth singletrack, which ironicly is my fav because i hate tech. Does anyone want to come early and do urban?

All singletrack??? Isn't this the *same* pratt trail we did last time, only starting higher up? Because there was plenty of technical sections as I recall. I'm perfectly fine with the shuttle we did last time; it was still a good long ride at 2+hours..at least. Let me/us know asap what you want to do. And what do you mean by "urban?" Is that like street/trialsy stuff? If so, I don't think Jim does that, and I'm not sure about John, but I ride mostly MUni, but also enjoy street obstacles and stuff.

Just make up your minds on this. The original call was for a muni ride the day after Thanksgiving. Why not just meet at the bottom of the trail at the dirt parking lot, hike up past the sawdust/wood chip part, past the pipe, up the paved road to the big tree and drop into the tech stuff. You can session on that trail all the way down and spend one or three hours playing on intermediate Muni terrain and grab a good workout. And you can dink around doing urban stuff on the pavement/boulders, next to the pipe, after the first tech part. Just pick a time and a place to meet and lets ride.

Bummer. Won't work for me. Jim had said he wouldn't mind waiting 'till a noon start so I could make the 120 mile drive. If you guys will agree to a noon meeting time, then I'm in.

And John, Why do that hike up to the drop in point (helluva long, steep non-rideable hike up) when we can so easily shuttle it? This way we can also get right into the riding! Just a thought.
