Lot #10. (park site has bench tables, bathrooms, water fountains, outside sink etc) Ride -Start rolling no later that 9:45am. Based on who shows figure out ride(s) based on "level" "Picnic" - at Irvine park to follow> Start around 11:30 and go to maybe 1:00 or a bit later. Food, drink and potentially a free KIDS raffle -swag donated by local bike shops We can decide specific routes (try to accomodate all levels) but think will be at least two groups 1) Trailer Crash Kids - Those pulling trailers and those seeking "flat" terrain. Mix of paved and dirt at Peters Canyon. I can lead this group pulling my son in trailer. 2) Groms with Moms and/or Pops - Everyone else heads to Peters Canyon for loop(s). Sounds like a few are very familiar with this park so hoping at least 2 adults can take on leading and sweep. btw- if you can pull trailer in peters feel free to join this ride 3) there is another local park that is a bit more tech for those riders wtih older kids (santiago oaks) As expected everyone's safety particularly that of the children is most important. It is your sole responsibility to watch out for your child, guests and yourself. All young riders must be accompanied by a parent and/or guardian. Please make sure you and your child has the proper safety and repair gear (e.g. helmet, pads, spare tubes, etc), food/water and properly working bike or trailer. Please also step up to protect all others who you think may need some support along the way. In regard to picnic/bbq I will bring EZ up, tailgate BBQ (small propane webber) and will bring burgers, buns, condiments for all. I ask that others please volunteer to bring some other stuff such as plates, napkins, drinks, as well as any other food items cold or for the BBQ. Sound fair? Note I will only bring enough burgers and such for the head count that replies. Also if not familiar with trails at Peters Canyon, I uploaded a vid to you tube that you can view if interested. Does not inlcude all aspects of park but should provide and decent sense of it http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tx3x6yiJIs Adam Davidson 714-910-6669 adavidson@hmausa.com

Kids must be supervised/ ride with a parent or guardian. Everyone riding (kids and adults) must have properly working fat-tire bikes and wear helmets. Consider wearing comfortable clothing, and sunscreen/ insect repellant. Bring bike bottles; we will have plenty of cold water and Gatorade at the start of the ride. We have Shelter 5 at Hanna Park reserved as base camp. Registration starts at 9:15AM. All non-Pack 182 riders will need to sign a Ride Liability Waiver. Then, equipment checks, a short talk/ safety briefing, and a group photo. Be ready to roll at 10AM. A map to the trails can be found here. http://www.coj.net/Departments/Recreation+and+Community+Services/Recreation+and+Community+Programming/Recreation+Activities/Hanna+Park/Bike+Trails+Map.htm We will be linking dirt roads, beginner and intermediate trails and maybe one advanced trail. A few experienced off-road cyclists will assist as ride guides. Snacks, drinks, and raffle prizes courtesy of our local sponsors, await everyone after the ride. For family members who would rather wait at the shelter while the rest of their party is on 2 wheels, there is good fishing in the adjacent lake, a beach volleyball court next to our shelter, and a Frisbee golf course a short walk away. There's also a charcoal grill next to the shelter should you decide to cook-out instead (save me a burger). Email to RSVP/ pre-register or for questions and/or concerns. Thanks.
