ATTENCION! ORANGE COUNTY, CA PEOPLE!!!

chas · Post by **chas** » Mon May 21, 2012 11:32 pm

Ok, as I'm sure most of you Orange County people have already noticed, there isn't a whole lot going on in the club/meetup department down here so........

LETS GET SOMETHING GOING!

There is too much good riding to be done in our own back yards so why should everybody else have all the fun?

PM me or post in this thread and let's make this happen. LA/SD people are always welcome of course.

I'm interested!

Awesome! Now we're talking!

All we have to do now is set up a ride. There's a decent loop from Old Town Orange through Santiago/Trabuco Canyon out to Lake Forrest then up PCH to Newport Beach/Costa Mesa and then back to Old Town Orange that involves no freeways and plenty of scenery but I'm always open to suggestions. Now all we need are a few more people and somebody who knows what they are doing!

Im interested as well

Outstanding! We have a group and a route (which is by NO means set in stone, in fact it might be a little ambitious) so now all we need is a date. Is Saturday the best day for everybody in general?

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Fri May 25, 2012 7:27 pm

Saturdays are good with me

thewifie · Post by **thewifie** » Sat May 26, 2012 1:42 am

Saturdays are good for me. Late mornings sound good? Where are you two? I am in Lake Forest

chas · Post by **chas** » Sat May 26, 2012 6:56 am

I'm over in Tustin.

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Sat May 26, 2012 8:03 pm

im in ladera ranch/mission viejo.

Either of you guys interested in scoping out the road through Silverado Canyon? I've driven through there a million times in a car but never on a scooter. I know the posted speed limits are 125cc friendly but I'd still like to scout it for suitability (scootability?) before dragging a group out there. I'm free as early as tomorrow afternoon.

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Sun May 27, 2012 3:57 pm

I'm busy all day today, however I do have off of work tomorrow, if you'd be free then?

chas · Post by **chas** » Sun May 27, 2012 4:01 pm

I have to work tomorrow from 3pm til 11pm so if you wanted to roll out in the morning I would be down.

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Sun May 27, 2012 4:36 pm

Hmm possibly, but you live at the other side of the canyon right? Lemme check on a couple of things too. Also are you a redditor?

chas · Post by **chas** » Sun May 27, 2012 4:50 pm

I do live on the other side and, unfortunately I am not a redditor. Maybe we can meet in a neutral spot? I'll pm you my contact info.

thewifie · Post by **thewifie** » Sun May 27, 2012 7:33 pm

I am interested in checking it out tomorrow AM. What is a redditor?

A redditor is (if I'm not mistaken) a user of www.reddit.com. I think that is the oversimplified version of it but that's how I understand it.

Would you be willing to meet on the Orange side of the canyon? If not, maybe somewhere in Irvine or something?

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Sun May 27, 2012 10:13 pm

Yup, he's on with the redditor thing, it's a forum website about everything, theres a lot of memes and pictures used such as his avatar pic. But as far as meeting up at a place it's a little difficult because most mid
Points are off the freeway, we may be able to meet at like black star entrance, and wifie if you want to ride together we could meet at like trabucco high school and ride in together?

I am loathe to admit it but I've been a /b/tard for quite a while, hence the avatar.

I am totally down to meet at the entrance to blackstar. What time are you thinking?

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Mon May 28, 2012 2:19 am

Um I'm fine with anytime, if you or the wifie have a preferred time, we can work with that

thewifie · Post by **thewifie** » Mon May 28, 2012 2:21 am

I have a BBQ at noon, so before that I am good. I will meet u at the HS when we figure out a time. How long of a ride is it?

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Mon May 28, 2012 2:29 am

Roughly 20-30 mins in a car to the enterance of blackstar from the high school.

chas · Post by **chas** » Mon May 28, 2012 2:30 am

If we met at blackstar around 8:30 or 9 we would have enough time to do our thing and get thewifie back by 11:30. That work?

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Mon May 28, 2012 2:52 am

Hmm that may be a little early how about meet at 10? Or if the earlier time is more convenient for everyone. That's fine too.

thewifie · Post by **thewifie** » Mon May 28, 2012 2:58 am

I'm good with 10. So are we meeting at Trabucco HS at 10 then meeting Chaz around 10:15? I don't think it takes longer than 15 min to get out there, does it?

ewanavenger · Post by **ewanavenger** » Mon May 28, 2012 3:03 am

I think we're meeting him at 10, so you wanna meet at trabucco at 945?

thewifie · Post by **thewifie** » Mon May 28, 2012 3:08 am

OK. Sounds good. See you then. I'm pretty sure it will be easy to figure out who we are!

chas · Post by **chas** » Mon May 28, 2012 3:17 am

I'll see you guys at 10! I pm'd ewanavenger my cell# and I'll pm it to thewifie as well. That way in case anything goes a little awry then somebody can give me a shout.

chas · Post by **chas** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:00 am

I'm interested. My Buddy is my primary transportation though, do you know of any good non-freeway routes up there? I don't mind traffic but I can't go much faster than 55 for the most part.

gilbee · Post by **gilbee** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:55 pm

I'll probably be riding around on the 7th, I'll email you if it happens.
