This Saturday weather permitting we will be riding in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park since El Moro is closed due to rain damage. We will ride from Ridge Park at 9 am. We will meet at the Rest Room Facility by the sports fields. The ride will be Down Bommer Ridge and over to the Nix Center and over to Serrano Ridge. In all, about 12 miles with about 2000 feet of climbing. If it rains, it will not be held. Please check the website for updates!
The Saturday Rides are structured to be fun, challenging, and never intimidating. There are at least 2-group coordinators on each ride, Lead & Sweep. The riders regroup at the top of each major climb or intersection so “No Rider Is Left Behind.” These rides are for both members and non members. Come join us and bring a friend. You will be glad you did.

I have received news from the Rangers at El Moro State Park and there has been a lot of damage from the rains to the trails and fire roads. The park will not be open until repairs have been made. Keep checking the site for current info I will let you know when I hear that it is open.
Thank you for being patient during this raining season. I can’t tell you how important it is to not ride in the parks when they are closed. SHARE is doing its best by getting out there and helping so you guys can ride when the weather gets better.

18 mile ride in Daley Ranch
From the La Honda Drive parking area head east on Creek Crossing, turning right on East Ridge and left on Sage. This is up and down at first then a steady but manageable climb.
Turn left at Coyote Run then right on Diamond Back which will then return to Sage. Fun singletrack alternative to just riding Sage all the way up.
Left on Sage and down to Jack Creek Meadow Loop. Turn right and follow this road as it dips and climbs toward the back of the park. After making a ‘U’ turn at the park boundary, turn right on Hidden Spring.
Hidden Spring is a tough climb even when conditions are good. It is very steep and rocky. Continue on this road until it ends at Eagleman Oak then make a left and immediate right on Burnt Mountain, a short but fun single track alternative to riding the road around the mountain.
When the single track ends at the other side of Eagleman, turn left. Continue along the road keeping an eye out for the Bobcat trail. Turn left on Bobcat, a great single track though oak groves.
Bobcat ends at Cougar ridge aka “Three Bitches” . (I’m pretty sure every park has Three Bitches and Four Corners.) Turn left and prepare to pay for the fun you just had on Bobcat.
At the top, pass the intersection with Eagleman and continue to the right on Cougar. Eventually you will find the Crest singletrack on the left. Follow this up and down, sometimes sketchy singletrack until it ends at Boulder Loop. If you have had enough, just turn left and go to Ranch Road and back to the car. If you want more, and don’t mind more climbing, turn right on Boulder Loop keeping an eye out for Rock Ridge singletrack on the left. Ride Rock Ridge until it hits the other end of Boulder Loop then turn left, then right on Ranch Road which will take you back to your car.

The nice thing about this ride is that when you are done, you are only 15 minutes from Stone Brewery.

On Saturday, January 16th, SHARE Mountain Bike Club sponsored a trail maintenance day at AWCWP. We had a great turn out of about 20 enthusiastic volunteers. Work was completed on Cholla, Lynx, Rock-It and Meadows Trails. In preparation for this week’s forecasted heavy rains water bars were cleaned out and repaired and fencing replaced along Meadows Trail to discourage trail cutting. All in all a great morning of trail work followed by lunch at Baja Fish Tacos.
Thanks to all who helped make the day a success!
