    The mtbr reviews on this trail are hilarious, some suggesting that you
    "need" body armor to ride it. It's nothing a singlespeeder with a
    rigid fork can't handle riding down if they know what they are doing.

    Is that the San Juan trail? Heading down to Lake Elsinore for the upcoming
    holidays and looking for good places to ride.

    Nah, not the SJT. It's much steeper, though many in the mtbr bunch
    probably think that body armor is required for the SJT. The switcbacks
    on this trail are tighter, steeper and narrower than the SJT. It's in
    the San Gabriels and just about anything up there is good. I'm not
    sure about the Elsinore area, other than it's close to the
    SJT/ViejoTie/Chiquita and others off of the SA Divide.

    Nice, the San Gabriel's are my local favorite.

    It is a short ride but Mt. Waterman is beautiful; big trees, big views, go
    before it is snowed in for the winter, summit is over 8,000. You can do a
    loop through the ski resort, but I like to ride the singletrack to the
    summit and back. To bad it is next to the wilderness area it limits access
    to other trails in the area.

    It is sort of close to Chilao for some more fun.

    I think Ken has darker hair and is taller.
