Anyone up for Just Oustanding on Sunday June 13th?

Meet at Mesa Marin at 8am. Could be hot - so fitness level required is high, remember to bring lots of water. Technical rating - intermediate.

Ride ends at the brewery!

Where is the trail head? How long is the drive from the meeting place. Sorry, just new to the area still. I plan on making this one.

Eric,

On most group rides into the Kern Canyon people meet at the Mesa Marin Chevron at 11101 Highway 178 (where hwy 178 & 184 join).

Here is the google maps link:

Because they never know exactly who is going to show on any given ride, the meet-up time and location is posted. At the designated time people figure out the car pool and bike transport situation and leave as a group to the trail head.

Kevin, thanks for posting the Mesa Marin location info.

Eric, to give you an idea of the day, following is how it is generally done. Car pool from Mesa Marin, leave one or two cars in Wofford Heights (for later shuttles), park remaining cars/bikes/people at Rancheria Rd/Unal Trail Staging area, ride Unal -> Just Outstanding -> Old State Rd back to Wofford Heights, shuttle to collect cars at the top then off to the brewery for (most likely) a late lunch and Beer..... Final decisions are always made on the day based on weather, riders and available time.

While this is a predominately down hill ride there are some strenuos ups, most notably 3 miles with almost no shade leading to Old State Rd. Bring lots of food, drink and sunscreen for this.

Thank you both for the info. I plan on being there. My van carries four people with four bikes. I'm pretty sure that three of the four seats are taken, if not I will be able to take on some cargo.

Eric, Great job and many thanks for the quick video posts of this awsome ride. Just watching it makes me want to go do it again. Now I can show the wife and kids where I went Sunday and why I get so into this.

Hi,

I am going to ride Portuguese Pass trail on Sunday. Meet at Mesa Marin Chevron (178/184 intersection) at 8:30am. Out and back ride. Uphill fire road out, almost all single track return. Single track out can be done for a more strenuous ride.

If others want to ride JO I am sure we can work out some sort of car pooling since both trails start at the same point.

James
