What we’re about
We are a group of riders that enjoy and are very passionate about mountain biking and all aspects of it. We believe in riding within a group for camaraderie, fun, knowledge and most importantly safety while out on the trails. Everyone that starts a ride with us will finish. Struggling or been off the bike for a while? No Worries!! The group who shows up to ride will always determine the pace. We will make sure everyone that shows up to ride has a fun and enjoyable time. We want to help you get better, faster and stronger! You get out of mountain biking as much or as little as you put into it!!
Many of our rides take place on the beautiful trails that Orange County has to offer. Additionally we are now starting to expand and offer rides in LA area, the Inland Empire and all the way down to San Diego County. Some of our favorite spots to ride are Fullerton Loop, Santiago Oaks, Whiting Ranch, Aliso and Woods Canyon and El Moro (Crystal Cove), Sycamore Canyon, Box Springs, Skyline, Chino Hills State Park, Big Bear and so on. In addition to this we occasionally will plan weekend getaways, as well as hit up trails that other places in So Cal and beyond have to offer.
So what are you waiting for? Come and judge for yourself. We encourage and welcome anyone and everyone to join us on our rides. Have ideas or want to ride somewhere? Drop us a line and we’ll make it happen.
"Sleep. Work. Eat. Ride and Repeat!"

Roll 9:15 am // Distance 13 miles // Elevation 2,400+ feetTurnbull Canyon is a popular outdoor destination for both mountain bikers and hikers alike. Like most mountain bike trails in the region, this trail network consists of a combination of dirt roads and singletrack. Overall, the trails are typical of SoCal ... dry, dusty, loose-over-hardpack, with some rocks mixed in. A few rocks, rock gardens, and steep descents will keep you on your toes.

You are confident to ride through a variety of technical features (roots, rocks, tight turns,) although you are most comfortable at a slow and controlled pace.LINK TO AMTR RIDING LEVELS CHART

Let's put the "M" in All Mountain Trail Riders. This is big mountain riding at its best. We will ride Mt. Lowe fire road climb to the top, and then take the Eaton Saddle Downhill down.
Mt. Lowe fire road is about 9 miles and 3300' of climbing, then we get the reward - the downhill is 99% singletrack and 13.8 miles dropping 4800'.Mt. Lowe starts as a steep broken pavement climb for 3-1/2 miles, then it turns to dirt and the steepness modulates. Plan on 2 hours for the climb, we will climb at conversational pace and not try to crush it. We will regroup only at the top of the climb.
The downhill includes 4 trails: Mt. Lowe East Trail, Middle Sam Merrill, Sunset Ridge and El Prieto. We will do a very brief regroup at each trail junction.
This is Downieville like as a downhill length and drop. There are switchbacks galore, rock gardens, exposure, and amazing alpine scenery.
This is a big ride. It is very remote in sections so be prepared with food, water, and able to handle technical riding. A long travel bike is suggested and you need to have legit trail skills. There are quite a few videos of this ride so review them in advance. We're starting at 7 AM as the afternoon traffic back to OC can be bad.
Ebikes are welcome but keep in mind some of us will be on analog bikes for the climb. If you just want to do the climb for a fitness ride and return on the fireroad, that works too.
