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.

Well john said the earlier the better, and i knew you dont like riding in the heat of the day.

I'm fine going at noon or even one. I just suggested meeting at the bottom to gt a plan out there. I've never shuttled this so I don't know where to go. The hike up to the start of the tech stuff only takes about 30 minutes but whatever you guys want. I'll shuttle, no prob. Evan, how about we start at 1 (give Terry and others time to get there), just give us a place to meet.

I'm really screwed for Firday's ride becuase I have three piano tuning commitments from 9 to at least 2pm, so there's no way I can make it. I'm bummed 'cause I really wanted to ride with you guys!

I must really be losing my grey matter because these tunings have been booked now for more than 2 weeks, but I didn't realize the conflict 'till just tonight when I checked the rest of my weeks schedule! What a dope I am! My apologies to Jim, Evan and John. Have a great ride and sorry for the mix-up!

Ok, that sounds good, 1:00 at the trailhead it is.



Again, if people need directions call me 805-276-3275.



Simple directions: Start heading east on ojai ave, Left on signal, and follow that up till you see a fat water tanks and a national forrest sign with "Foothill/ Pratt trail" (or something to that effect) and turn left there, should be about a 300ft fireroad to the trail head.


Also the base of the trail is at a big ass basin that has huge rocks, and there is also a dry river. So bring those trials unis if you got em'.

After all that posting only 3 people showed up: Jim, Evan and me. But we had fun. Evan lives about twenty paces from the trail and if he ever buckled down he'd be sensational. Even riding on a slick tire with 150 cranks he cleaned some impressive lines, and Jim, with his vast DH bike experience, is going to The Truth in no time. My ankle is still wasted so I was mostly faking it and watching Evan and Jim bust moves but it's all good. A day with friends on the trail is always a great day.
