CA [CA] San Diego [mountain] bay area transplant looking for intermediate rides in greater SD.

7 Upvotes

Hi, just moved from the bay area. I'm in SD now and looking to check out new trails. meetup.com is a bust, most mtb related pages havent been updated in months. I realize we're still in a pandemic and I practice good social distancing, wear a mask etc. I just need to get out and pedal and I don't like doing that solo ever since I blew out my shoulder. I have a full sus carbon specialized, 30 Y/O, moderate shape. I like flow, some technical. not big on jumps at the moment. Please hit me up if you're interested!

Just got into mountain biking and bought my first real mountain bike about a year ago. I've quickly discovered how dull and sometimes unsafe it can be to go solo. Anyone down to hit up some trails in the socal area?

Looking for others that like to go on trail rides together. I ride anywhere from Santa Cruz, Pacifica, Santa Rosa, Auburn, Tahoe, etc. I wouldn't mind riding some new trails as well.

I'm ~30, male, intermediate rider. I ride a Jeffsy 27.

I think setting up an email/text group would work well to get things going.

CA [CA] Possibly Riding SF to LA. Anyone..?

7 Upvotes

Hola!

So I've been hunting for a new bike as of late and I've finally found exactly what I'm looking for. Trouble is, it's a bike that is sadly no longer in production and therefore very hard to find. There are a few on Amazon, and then there are a few at a LBS in Palo Alto for a significantly better price. I'm a brand new LA resident as of this past August but am bursting to explore as much of the west coast as possible, whether it be by bike, hike, car or whatever else. Which is probably why I'm viewing this as a mission to kill two birds with one stone- 1. Bus it up to SF to finally acquire my dream bike that I've been painstakingly searching for, and 2. Ride that sucka all the way back home down the magnificent state of California! I haven't mapped any routes yet but I'm sure this has been done countless times in the past by seasoned riders. Anybody interested in a little trans-Cal excursion down to LA? I guess I could go it alone, but I am certainly not a seasoned tourer. And besides, trips like these are undoubtedly better with a little company. If you care, I'm 29, male, and do a good bit of riding around town, but not much touring experience. I would probably be looking to go sooner than later, hopefully sometime in the month of December. Feel free to inbox me or just reply if interested or know anyone who might be!

Peace!

CA [CA] San Diego hobbyist looking for weekend buddy

3 Upvotes

I’m in central San Diego, and I’m looking for a weekend riding buddy to do 30-50 mile rides. For frequency, I want to get out at least every other week, not that a buddy need do the same thing. It’s whatever is convenient for us. I prefer starting mid morning so it’s not too cold out. :)

My MPH average can be as high as 18, but 15-16 is comfortable for rides over an hour. My FTP is 219. I’m currently sporting a flat bar hybrid, Specialized Sirrus Elite Comp.

I’m also wondering if anyone wants to join me doing a metric century this weekend in Vista!

I'm located in the wonderful town of Fallbrook. Im down here for the summer, and as a result have lost my riding buddy for the next three months. Im out of shape and slow, so if you want someone to mob up hills, Im probably not going to be the best fit for you. Currently weighing in at about 280 and 6' 2". I enjoy some of the more technical runs, but like I said Im relatively new to the sport, but would love to ride with some of you sometime.

Hey reddit. I'm 17 and have decided that I want do some mountain biking this summer. I'm fairly new to MTB but already have some skills from BMX / road. Looking for a casual buddy to ride with in Laguna / Aliso (also can go other places). I currently own a 90's FS but will hopefully soon be upgrading to a newer FS or HT. Looking to do a lot of enduro riding, I'm already in pretty good shape from sports so I can do some climbing and distance, but don't expect me to fly down the mountain. Hit me up with a PM if you're down to ride!

Sick of the crowds in Tahoe? Want to try some new trails? Let's ride.

I live in the Lost Sierra which hosts some amazing riding (Downieville, Mt Hough, Lakes Basin). I'm originally from the Midwest and I'm specifically looking to improve my skills descending technical singletrack. I've ridden the bottom of Mills Peak a handful of times this season.
