What we’re about
We are a group of riders that enjoy and are very passionate about mountain biking and all aspects of it. We believe in riding within a group for camaraderie, fun, knowledge and most importantly safety while out on the trails. Everyone that starts a ride with us will finish. Struggling or been off the bike for a while? No Worries!! The group who shows up to ride will always determine the pace. We will make sure everyone that shows up to ride has a fun and enjoyable time. We want to help you get better, faster and stronger! You get out of mountain biking as much or as little as you put into it!!
Many of our rides take place on the beautiful trails that Orange County has to offer. Additionally we are now starting to expand and offer rides in LA area, the Inland Empire and all the way down to San Diego County. Some of our favorite spots to ride are Fullerton Loop, Santiago Oaks, Whiting Ranch, Aliso and Woods Canyon and El Moro (Crystal Cove), Sycamore Canyon, Box Springs, Skyline, Chino Hills State Park, Big Bear and so on. In addition to this we occasionally will plan weekend getaways, as well as hit up trails that other places in So Cal and beyond have to offer.
So what are you waiting for? Come and judge for yourself. We encourage and welcome anyone and everyone to join us on our rides. Have ideas or want to ride somewhere? Drop us a line and we’ll make it happen.
"Sleep. Work. Eat. Ride and Repeat!"

See all- 🖤 11/30 SAT - 8 AM | ELFIN FOREST, ESCONDIDO | BLACK LEVEL🖤Elfin Forest, Escondido, CA
The group has never ridden Elfin as far as I know. It is a super fun and unique ride with great views and is more challenging than the #'s seem:
10 miles
2200' of climbingThe ride starts with a 1.25 climb at 11% with switchbacks and techincal sections. There are a lot of rock gardens. I added pics for context. There is no real exposure. We ride along the lake, pictured, and some great technical little loops.
I suggest a long travel trail bike. There are a variety of areas to park from the main lot on the address to a spillover lot to street parking. I'll share my # with anyone that goes so we can coordinate.
There is a big sign in the lot that says "no ebikes". I don't know how much it is enforced, ride one at your own risk.

**RESCHEDULING DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER**
The park website says it is open, but it has been raining intermittently. The ground in Chino can turn to peanut butter instantly and the ride can quickly become miserable.I am rescheduling for next Sunday, sorry for any inconvenience.
This ride doesn't start near any rangers, and most of the ride is actually outside of the park. We'll ride Chino Hills State Park. The group hasn't been in the state park for awhile. If you haven't been, it is a winner. Great wide open space and more trails then non locals realize.
Probably half of the ride will be new to everyone with some super good out of the park singletrack.
Meet at RIM CREST trail entrance at 9 AM roll at 9:15.
The route will be 14 miles and 2100' of climbing. It is a 50/50 mix of fire road and singletrack. The singletrack is XC style so not super technical but still a good challenge.
We will have regroups at the top of any cliimb and then keep moving. Chino does have some decent climbs to be ready for.**EXTRA CREDIT** If you want to meet at 7 AM for a preride let me know. The extra credit will be more singletrack and more climbing, but XC style so again not crazy technical.
Ebikes are always welcome on my rides, and probably half of the riders in CHSP are on ebikes. As always check local trail rules to decide what bike you want to bring.
