Registration Info
Registration is recommended
Payment In Full In Advance Only
This is not a beginner mountain bike ride. All riders are responsible for riding the route within their skill level and navigation. All should be competent to ride typical trails found in the LA area. All riders should ensure their bikes are in good working order and be capable of fixing flats and making trail repairs as may be required. The route is not marked, each group will have 2 ride leaders to facilitate the route finding for the group only, they are not responsible for your route finding or fixing you or your bike in the event of an issue. Regroups will cater to the majority of the group, if you have an issue or can't keep the pace of the group then you should anticipate that the group will not wait unduly for you.
About this event
The final Club Supported Dirt Ride (CSDR) of 2024 is here! This ride will be a MTB ride.
Join us for the next PAA club supported dirt ride at Tapia Canyon. We will meet at Castaic Sports Complex for the short pedal to the trail head where we will almost immediately turn on to the single track trails of Sesame Street and Downtown (Blue, one very short section with exposure) before rejoining Tapia Canyon Road and the climb up to the main hub. From here the views are great and we can chose our poison – Top Dog/Dog Tag (a personal favorite), Stars and Stripes, Burn Victim (all blues) all radiate out from here and all link into Karls (blue) before spitting us out on the fire road for the climb back up to the top to enable us to rinse and repeat. The PAA single track party train will be in full effect.
For more adventurous riders, we will turn off the fire road at the bottom of Karls and climb up (very steep in places) to the ridge and the Junkyard ridge line (black) - first lap only.
To close, more adventurous riders will head north to ride Sidewinder (blue) whereas others may elect to head straight back. Both groups will pedal the last mile along Tapia Canyon Road and back to lunch, high fives and a celebratory beverage.
