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!"

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- 🚴 11/16 SAT 9:00 AM | BARRETT-STODDARD (MT. BALDY) | ADVANCED BLUE LEVEL 🚴Heritage Park, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Roll 9:15 am // Distance 15 miles // Elevation 1,500+ feet
NOTE: We will be self shuttling. You will need to be able to carry one extra bike besides your own.
A word of warning! This is a "Gabe Trail". Think of it as an adventure. If you are high maintenance and need a properly groomed "OC Parks" trail, this may not be the ride for you. It is rarely ridden, few MTBers know about it, and I can't guarantee what shape it is in. But if you like to explore and have a sense of adventure, come on out!
The trail itself isn't too steep or technical, but there are random areas of high consequence if you're not careful. These trails are not very frequented so the deeper you go, the less maintained it will become. For this reason, it is recommended you come prepared with plenty of water, spare tubes, and pads are recommended.
The elevation gain is slightly over 1,300', but you're already starting at roughly 3,500' above sea level, so be aware of this.
ADVANCED BLUE RIDE
You have a strong understanding and practice with braking, shifting, cornering, and descending skills. You can navigate variable terrain at a good pace. You are confident and comfortable riding singletrack trails and can easily navigate roots, rocks, mud, sand, and creek crossings. You are capable of a front wheel and rear wheel lift and can put the two together to navigate over obstacles.

Posting this again for anyone that missed it, or wants to hit it a second time while it is still fresh.
Ask the crew from this week - this is a legit fun and challenging ride. It puts the "mountain" in mountain biking.
We will ride Mt. Lowe fire road climb to the top, and then take the Eaton Saddle Downhill down.
Mt. Lowe fire road is about 9 miles and 3300' of climbing, then we get the reward - the downhill is 99% singletrack and 13.8 miles dropping 4800'.Mt. Lowe starts as a steep broken pavement climb for 3-1/2 miles, then it turns to dirt and the steepness modulates. On the 2 November ride it was about 2 hours moving time to the top.
The downhill includes 4 trails: Mt. Lowe East Trail, Middle Sam Merrill, Sunset Ridge and El Prieto. We will do a very brief regroup at each trail junction.
You will get it all on this ride - switchbacks galore, rock gardens, exposure, and amazing alpine scenery. And did I mention exposure?
This is a big ride. It is very remote in sections so be prepared with food, water, and able to handle technical riding. A long travel bike is suggested and you need to have legit trail skills. There are quite a few videos of this ride so review them in advance. We're starting at 7 AM as the afternoon traffic back to OC can be bad.
Ebikes are welcome but keep in mind some of us will be on analog bikes for the climb. If you just want to do the climb for a fitness ride and return on the fireroad, that works too.
