Mentally Sensitive Trail Opens in Aliso and Wood Canyon Wilderness Park

Thanks to all the volunteers that worked to open the new “Mentally Sensitive” trail in Aliso and Woods Canyon Wilderness Park.

The trail officially opened Sunday October 16 at 9 am. Mentally Sensitive adds additional advanced level single track in the park and offers a fine loop by climbing up the Meadows trail and down Mentally Sensitive. SHARE MTB member Mark Warrick of 3F Bike Club posted a great write-up of opening day at:

Got Grom? 5th Annual IMBA Take a Kid Mountain Biking

Posted on September 30, 2011 by sharemtb

Reminder – IMBA Take a Kid Mountain Biking

This Saturday is the 5^th Annual OC Kids Bike, BBQ and Fun. Totally fun event!

When: Saturday Oct 1st 9:00 am to 1 pm
Where: Irvine Regional Park, 1 Irvine Park Road, Orange, CA
Registration and Info: http://web.me.com/highergroundsa/RideLikeAKid/Home.html
Fun for the whole family. Ride, BBQ, and Prizes.

This is an truly amazing event that according to IMBA, last year was celebrated globally in Australia, Canada, Italy, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States with an estimated 21,000+ participants joining the fun. This year will also mark the 5th year we are planning a local event in Orange County which continues to grow…last year we had over 100 peeps with 50+ kids!!! We start off with varied MTB rides based on age & skill followed by a BBQ and free kids raffle. While the primary goal to install a love of dirt with the groms, it should be no surprise the mad fun the parents have riding along and the kids providing more “smiles per mile” than any weekend epic ride could offer.
