I put some 40mm tires on the bike and rode some trails in Chino Hills. It was great. I was a little wary at first because it was pretty bumpy and there was a lot of loose dirt/sand. I got used to it though and found some smoother trails. It was very peaceful. There were quite a few hikers and bikers but there were mostly friendly and most of the time I was alone and away from any traffic or houses or anything. I think I'll go back tomorrow.
I did have some mechanical trouble though. The rear wheel kept slipping forward. I am going to have to really tighten the skewer down. And the front derailer slipped down, apparently from all the bumps. I didn't notice it until I was out of the park and on the road. I went to shift back onto the large chain ring and there were bad noises. I fixed it, but I am afraid it may happen again. I'll have to look into a more permanent fix.

I rode down to the Santa Anna on the old standard route.

I rode Rose Drive, Bastenchury to Euclid, back to Associated and then up and home. The hills are good and my cardiovascular fitness is improving.

I rode up and down Bastenchury again. And again the hills kicked my butt. I think I'll keep riding those hills until my legs get used to it.

19miles

I rode down Kramer and then came back and went west on Bastenchury all the way to Euclid. There are some good hills on that stretch and it showed me that I am not in as good of shape as I think I am. Then I came back and sat for a while in Mountain View park before I came home. It was a good ride and it convinced me that I should ride Bastenchury more.
