8/31/11 Last Sun was HOT!!! Nevertheless, TCF hit the SART with a pretty large group, despite the heat. Had 3 different waves leave, those with younger kids left earlier to have more time. Check out the group that made it to Mt. Rubidoux!

Double dirt Sunday!
8-21-11: Gorgeous day for a mtn. bike ride! Had Bill and his son show up early for the 6:30 AM ride. You can see him in the pixs there. He did great!!!
Then we had an 8:00 AM group show up so Roxy and I got to go again! Tina did a great job compared to her first mtn. bike TCF ride a couple of Sundays ago.
Here are some pixs!

Dirt ride THIS Sun!
8-19-11: We're doing another dirt ride again!!! I might as well make it official, since we ride pretty much every Sunday, so unless otherwise noted, plan on the following dirt rides:
When: 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays, Meet around 6:15; leave for trail @ 6:30 AM
Where: Hulda Crooks Park (I park next to tennis courts)
Hulda Crooks park is at the south end of Mountain View, in Loma Linda.
What: Beginner-friendly 2.3 mile loop.
Who: Anyone who wants to try dirt, especially if they are new to it!
Special: If someone is interested in riding on my mtn. bike tandem with me (certain height limitation on the back, unfortunately), let me know and I can bring that out.
Contact inf0: Cell - 909-747-5935
Helmets: Mandatory, but I do have 3 loaner helmets should you forget yours!
Already have a few newbies riding, so feel free to join us!

TCF on the SART
8-14-11: Some shots from our ride today. Had quite a few mechanicals that fortunately, I was able to fix! LOL! Good time by all, and most of us feasted at Souplantation!
First dirt!
8-7-11: This was our first "official" off-road mtn. bike ride that was not on the schedule. The boys didn't care for the climb much, but when we reached the top, they really enjoyed the downhill!
We hope to have more dirt rides so stay tuned!

Trail work!
8-11-11: A couple of Sundays ago (when it rained!), I took the opp to do some trail work on a section of a path that had gotten very narrow---about 5-inches wide at it's narrowest spot! With the drop off on the left side, it made it very challenging for newbie mtn. bikers to ride or even walk across with their bikes.
Now, it's a couple of feet wide and level! While working on it, I had hikers thank me for doing this! LOL!
If you'd like to join in the next trail work day, I'd be happy to have some company! ;-)

SART ride this Sun, Aug. 14
Hi TCF riders,
Just a reminder that we're riding this Sunday, Aug.14, 8:00 AM, from Souplantation parking lot. Hope you can join us!
Not sure if the Choi's will be coming, but if they do, I will most likely be on the tandem with broken-arm-stoker Nathan. See if you can keep up this time, now that I switched out the slick tires with 2.2 knobby off-road tires! (That's ok, I need to burn more kcals!)
IF the Choi's aren't coming, then I'll either ride my single big OR if someone else (child or adult) wants to ride as my stoker, then I'll bring the tandem. First come first serve! ;-) I give preference to those who have some kind of physical limitation and could use the help.
Here's the Souplantation link for coupons if you decide to join us for brunch afterwards:

Hope to see you there! And feel free to bring your family and friends. ;-)
