Not sure. There is a large city parking lot out back and alot of space
in front of the Museum across the street. But I didn't see how they
were going to do it on the flyer.

Just saw the ad in the Independent. I like the "A Moutain Unicyclist!"
It just brings up all sorts of "Thats Incredible" references in my mind.
Now all we need is some winged hair and butterfly collar shirts!
Nathan if you were coming I would say the shirt you won from John @ CMUW
last year would be appropriate!

And a raffle too! Minimum $5.00 purchase. I can't think of anything in
that store that costs less than 5 bucks 🙂.

Rayden where do you live? Ventura? Camarillo? Oxnard? T.O.?

Yeah, I know the feeling. I would love to go, but parental and family
obligations have to take the lead on this one. I can do that drive in
90 minutes. I am in West Hills, just farther south from T.O. off the
101.

Mango, you gotta go! It would be a great opportuntiy to meet Kris,
maybe all you guys can go out afterwards.

Just an idea, if everyone showed up with their uni's, maybe you can have
Kris Autograph the forks and then get a photo op in the local paper.
Just an idea.

I will have to wait til Cal Muni weekend to hopefully see him ride.

have fun guys!!😄

Alright due to popular demand we're doing a not so little pre-event ride
in Santa Barbara. The trail is called Jesusita. We'll meet at the
Mission @ 3:00 and caravan the 5 min drive up to the trailhead. If you
decide you want to do this ride, here are the rules:

You have to wear a helmet. For those of you who don't like to...Tough.
I'm not dragging your butt 7 miles down the side of the mountain after
you noggin makes out with a boulder 🙂

You must bring water.

Here are some recommendations:

Hand/Arm/Leg protection
A uni thats made for Muni (otherwise you'll be doing alot of hiking)
A change of clothes. Not sure how much time or if showers will be
available after the ride.

Ok guys, I promise this will be a blast.

If you interested email me and I'll send you my info and directions to
the Mission if you don't already know the way.

Rod: Bring those kiddos! lets ride. Do you ever ride by Malibu Lake in
that park where they used to film MASH? I rode there a while back and
there were a couple fun spots. If it would be easier for you to make it
there I'd drive down there in the near future.

Last minute change of plans...

We're still meeting at the mission but will ride Cold Springs instead of
Jesusita. Shorter but more intense sections + more shade.

Okay,

I can make it. I will have my 4 year old, Nikolaus with me. Karl, my 6
year old has a T-ball game at 6.00 p.m.

When I told Nikolaus that we were going to see Kris Holm, he went
running to the back of the house yelling to my wife,
" Guess what mom, we are going to go see Kris Holm tomorrow,
yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!

I will be wearing my yellow 2001 CAl MUni weekend shirt and my "Dad's
Hat" baseball hat on. Yeah, and probably toting around a four year old
on my hip or on my shoulders.

See yah guys.

Matt: Thanks for the offer on coming down to ride. We can talk later
or email. I am interested in the single tracks that are supposedly in
existance at the western end of Ahmanson Ranch in Agoura.

Matt:

Malibu State Park is a favorite spot for rock climbing (my first sport)
and mountain bikers, with a ton of wicked hard climbs and single tracks.
I've gone climbing there a thousand times, but only once on my Muni,
doing the Mash Site circuit you described. That rocky section is tricky.

Gets blazing hot out there in the summer but mornings are good. A
rather famous fire road called "Bulldog" is about as grim a climb as can
be imagined--I tried cranking the whole thing but had to quit when my
legs caught fire. Few of the single tracks have been Muni'ed. I'll see
you this weekend (meeting Chris tomorrow at Venice) in SB and we can
make some plans to explore Malibu if you'd like.

Yeah I did that trail about a month ago. We made the mistake of hiking
up to the top of bulldog the back way through some houses, at about
noon. IT WAS BLAZING!!! For some reason I forgot to bring along a light
colored shirt 🙁 We rode down bulldog and by the time I got to the
bottom my legs were on fire. Then we took the mash loop. Eyal did great
on the rocky section but I was so exhausted from the heat I was sucking.
Then we stayed to the right on the way to the damn and boy I'd never
seen such thick P.O.. The single track was about a foot wide with P.O.
on both sides as high as my shoulders. It was good training for
straight line control! Anyway after all that I definately want to try
it again but this time not at noon 🙂
