3 weeks in a row at Lower Aliso Trail, Chino Hills State Park:
Since my friend took me there 3 weeks ago, I got hooked on this trail. Perfect XC-trail for me–smooth rolling hills with a lots of fast sections and wide fire roads.
When I first got there it was still chilly in the morning. CHSP looks beautiful this time of year
Water Canyon Trail closed to allow reforestation after the wildfires last year
A loong fireroad climb. We just wanted to reach 1000 feet of climbing elevation then after we passed that point, we turned around and headed downhill

Last week I went by myself but met up with other Filipinos and took them through the same trail but I wasnt able to take pics or video. Hey, I made new friends!

I went again but this time my teammate and friend Depthcharge with me. This was his first time at CHSP.

It was significantly warmer that day but with a cool breeze blowing.
Sunburned... ha ha
Ride Stats according to my Ascent Cyclometer
Total Distance: 10.96 miles (17.64 kms)
Average speed: 7.6 MPH (12.23 KPH)
Max speed: 29.6 MPH (47.64 KPH)
VIDEOS!
Finally got to take video going down Elevator Hill. Its a near 100-foot very steep, smooth drop that is very fast. Hit the brakes and you will be in for a horrendous accident. At the bottom of the hill you can feel the g-force suck you down (and compress the suspension) and slingshot you over onto over the other side.
Depthcharge going down:
You can see how he picks up speed near the bottom. It doesn’t look very steep in the video but it is…
This time around I took a farther rolling start and a few pedal strokes. Was able to break my fastest speed of 28.9 MPH last week to 29.6 MPH. I cant wait to get a helmet cam!
