NRR: Aliso Woods

[Ride-A-Lot]

Non-Ride Report:

Visiting Anaheim for a few days, so I took the bike. Got to
Aliso this morning and the skies opened up. Whatever
happened to "it never rains in southern California"? I
watched everyone running to their cars. I will not
contribute to trail destruction, so I sadly turned around
and went back to the hotel. The sun came out at 5,so I'll
try again tomorrow.

Yeah, 24hr closure is typical; heavy rain ~ 48hrs+. IIRC,
thought I remember reading/hearing that it's 24hrs per
every 1/4" of rain, but it doesn't seem to be a hard and
fast rule.

Normally parks closed one day for per inch of rain. Each of
the Orange County Parks open independently of each other.

Link to County Parks web site...sometimes they do answer the
phones. http://www.ocparks.com/wildernessparks/

I didn't know you were from these parts and you probably
wouldn't want to deal with my slow pace and chicken sh*t
antics on SJT . Anyway, just got back from SJT and Aliso
(opened late morning). Ride report later, but all I can say
is WOW and holy sh*t that SJT is trechorous!

San Juan is a kick, all right. A definite favorite of mine.
YOu should go to Michael Paul's site and watch the videos of
that trail- they'll help you relive it when you get back
home. His site is at

I had watched some of Mountain Bike Bill's video. It
didn't seem that bad, but I was wrong. I guess if you get
used to it, it would be easier. Having never been on
anything quite like it, it was terrifying. I think I will
be reliving it in my nightmares for quite a while. I shot
some video too. Check my ride report (posted today) and
you'll read about my fears.

I think some of your freinds were in the parking lot. I
heard your name mentioned a few times.
