[enjoi408]

[enjoi408]

No one wants to ride????

[erichs]

I do!!!! 760.519.4419

[Chance2Ride]

I was hoping that "South Bay" meant south bay San Diego but alas it did not.

[enjoi408]

You can start one!

[enjoi408]

Itching to go for a ride today! Anyone down??? @erichs @DVO @gizmoduck @slashlib

[DVO]

@enjoi408 just texted you brah

[DVO]

Had a good sesh with enjoi408,,,other SB riders should come!!

[JohnnyOnTheSpot]

Hey All,
Just got my board a week ago. Was wondering if anyone is interested in a Pajaro Dunes ride on a weekend or weekday (skip work). I've seen some awesome beach videos and thought it would be cool to ride with others on the beach.

[enjoi408]

I'm down to ride but not on the beach. I'm not ready to put it through sand lol.

[jim]

I am moving to North San Jose on Nov 9th. I have 3 Onewheels and look forward to meeting up. Bring a couple of your friends and lets ride!

[SC720]

@JohnnyOnTheSpot I'm gonna ride the stretch of beach between Seacliff and Manresa today...its usually a pretty chill and fun ride. Maybe we can hit up Pajaro Dunes sometime next week.

[enjoi408]

Anyone want to go for a ride tomorrow? I have the day off so I'm free anytime. Speak up!

[jim]

@enjoi408 I get back to San Jose around noon tomorrow. I am up for a ride after 2pm and any time over the weekend. Let me know where you want to meet up.

[enjoi408]

Hey @jim,

Yeah I am down for a ride tomorrow. You said 2pm works for you??? We can do the Guadalupe trail in Downtown San Jose.

Anyone else is welcome to join.

[enjoi408]

Anyone still in the bay????

[jim]

@enjoi408 I'm still here in San Jose and looking to go riding! Let me know when :-)

[enjoi408]

I will be riding tomorrow around Mountain View meeting up with another OneWheeler who is not on the forums if youre interested. This invite is open to anyone else who wants met some people and go riding.

[akraut]

I finally feel like I'm not going to bust my ass on this thing. I'm down for the next round of craziness.

[w1ngy]

I live in the East Bay area but I can drive down to meet you guys the next time you want to ride

[w1ngy]

Has anyone in the south bay area ridden in Vasona Lake County Park? Thats where I want to ride on Saturday. I'll be there at around 11:00am if anyone wants to join me. Text me: 510.557.4602

Vasona Lake County Park:
333 Blossom Hill Rd, Los Gatos, CA 95032

[jim]

@w1ngy I'm in! See you there at 11am. I have a second board so bring a friend if you want :-)

[Gizmoduck]

Are there power outlets at vasona? I'd be down but would like to ride more than a single charge. Anyone up for a Guadalupe river trail ride? I'm in downtown San Jose and can fit in a ride anytime this weekend.

[gavinlin]

I live in Santa Clara close to Levi stadium. I am down for weekend rides. Hit me up if you guys are planning anything :)

[SC720]

@Gizmoduck I haven't been to Vasona but they do a huge Christmas light display there every year so I imagine there are some around but who knows if they are accessible or where exactly they might be.

[w1ngy]

@Gizmoduck I've never been to Vasona myself. I try to ride a different location every weekend. Helps me explore the bay area and find good riding spots. This will be my first time riding my Onewheel in the south bay area.

@Gizmoduck @gavinlin @SC720 @akraut @enjoi408 @GSH3GSH you guys should join us on Saturday if you can.

[jim]

Guys, I just confirmed with w1ngy and we are riding tomorrow 2-27 11am at Vasona Lake County Park:
333 Blossom Hill Rd, Los Gatos, CA 95032. I will have aux power to charge our boards several times from my truck. See you all there!

[Gizmoduck]

Alright. I'm down. Who else plans on going? Don't make me be the third wheel.

[SC720]

Can't make it tmrw but hopefully sometime soon.

[w1ngy]

Heres our wall of stoke vid: https://youtu.be/0Pf8fS_ToPY
I really hope more of us will make it out next time :smiley:

[akraut]

Crap, I should have checked the forums on Friday. I'm in Downtown San Mateo, so it's pretty easy to get to most points around the Bay Area. I've been going to Seal Point Park and Coyote Point Park to practice. Both are connected to the Bay Trail and have some fun layouts. Next time you all go, I'll be there.

+1.309.807.5858 for any short notice, drop everything, rides. :smiley:

[w1ngy]

Any suggestions for our next meetup location? Lets keep the momentum going!

Our next meetup will likely be March 12, 2016 due to inclement weather on March 5th

[enjoi408]

Crap! I missed out! I've been swamped this past week. Yea lets get a new spot going!

[enjoi408]

Also, we will be getting rain for the next week starting Sat.

[GoneProBro]

Hello everyone. I just got a OW last week and am already re living a lost childhood. I live just up the street from Cowells mentioned earlier. Love to off road and would go out of my way to ride with new friends. Please keep me in the loop forgive next ride. Path out to mavericks is s nice ride as well.

[OneDream]

I am ready to group ride too now! Had some practice and feel more and more confident. The weather is just not that great at the moment.. :(

[akraut]

Looks like Saturday is supposed to be rain-free. Anyone down for a meetup?

[jim]

@akraut I'm in, where are you thinking about riding?

[w1ngy]

I really want to ride but I might not be able to make it this weekend 😕

[enjoi408]

I'm free this weekend.

[enjoi408]

I'm in depending on the area. It's my birthday weekend, so I don't really know where I'll be.

[akraut]

I think I'll be able to make it. I'll try to bring friends.

[jim]

@akraut Excellent! bring two friends and I will bring two extra boards.

[Dude]

South Bay Meep Up

Let me know anything i need to add or change. I just set this up real fast.

[w1ngy]

@Dude Very Nice! By the way does anyone want to race me at night on this path:

[jim]

@w1ngy Did you figure out where we are going to ride tomorrow? The time will be 2:30pm we just need to know what location...

[w1ngy]

@jim @dude @akraut @enjoi408 @OneDream @HMBCowboy @SC720 @Gizmoduck @gavinlin @GSH3GSH @JohnnyOnTheSpot @DVO @erichs @zedkyuu @kbern @slashlib @NuclearDeLorean

Sorry for the late notice. I found a good trail:

Sawyer Camp Trail:
Skyline Blvd & Crystal Springs Rd, San Mateo, CA
https://goo.gl/maps/nwzkyjA7gMB2

2:30pm Saturday, April 2 2016

[w1ngy]

This post is deleted!

[w1ngy]

Its a 6 mile trail so I figure if we park Jims truck at the end we can do a 12 mile round trip. I'll also carry my battery pack for emergency charging should we need it.

[jim]

@w1ngy Works for me and my other friend. I will still bring 2 extra boards so bring a friend or two!

Ok Link Updated.

[akraut]

That'll be a pretty fun trail to ride. :) I biked it last week. I think it'll be cutting it really close getting to the end of the trail to recharge before we come back, but I'm cool with trying, anyway.

Stuff to know: It's usually overcast and windy, so probably want something with sleeves. It's paved, but has a fair amount of patchwork, so it might be a bit rough at spots. There's often quite a few people biking and walking.

[w1ngy]

@akraut I think we'll be ok on range. I've gotten 8 miles on a single charge. Also I'll be carrying my portable battery which can recharge a Onewheel 1.5 times.

[akraut]

Great day today gents! @jim @w1ngy

Looking forward to the video. :D

[akraut]

Suggestions for next weekend:
http://www.openspace.org/preserves/pulgas-ridge

• Dirt/paved trails through the woods.
• Some fun off-roading.
• Dogs allowed. (I'll might bring mine) There's even an off-leash area in the middle of the park.

http://parks.smcgov.org/coyote-point-recreation-area

• Paved (varied quality) trails through the woods and around the marina
• ~1mile from Seal Point Park http://www.cityofsanmateo.org/index.aspx?NID=715
• Downside: have to pay for parking. I usually park at Seal Point.

[OneDream]

I should be able to attend next weekend if there is going to be a group ride on a saturday after 1pm.

[jim]

Awesome ride this past weekend with the South Bay crew!

Looks like riding tomorrow might not work out. :(

[jim]

@akraut Maybe Sunday afternoon.....

[woollynerd]

Hey all, just got a board yesterday (thanks, @jim, for answer my questions!). Can I be added to any running lists to join these rides? I live in Mountain View.

Thanks!

[jim]

@woollynerd congratulations on getting the new board! We will be sure to include you in the invitation list for the South bay riders team ;-)

[jim]

Hay South Bay Area riders, this weekend is looking good for riding 77 deg and sunny! What day works best for you guys?? Sat or Sun? Suggestions are welcome for places to ride. Let me know here and we will get it posed on the new calendar at http://www.werideonewheel.com/events/

That looks awesome. I thought of maybe getting that camera. I just wasn't sure what I would use it for.

[enjoi408]

Is this thread dead or are people still riding around in the area? Located in San Jose, looking to meet up and ride.

[jim]

@enjoi408 YES! We are still here and many Bay Area riders get together often. Weekends seem to work out best.

[enjoi408]

Where are you guys posting details on rides? I don't see it here or on Facebook groups.

[akraut]

We've been texting each other, but there's a few random posts around the board where we coordinate. Just throw up a bat signal here.

I've got this week off so I'm game whenever. I'm in the San Mateo area along with @wr420.

[wr420]

@akraut Yes sir! but Damn!! it is cold out here at night lately. It doesn't get in to the 40's unless it raining.

[enjoi408]

How do I get in on the cool kids text chats? I wanna be cool.

[mekon]

Count me in too.

<< San Jose

[jim]

I'm in town this week and coming weekend. Open evenings and anytime Sat or Sunday......

[dalisdair]

I'd like to get in on any SF or Bay Area meet ups.

[enjoi408]

Ride this weekend anyone????!??!?!?!?!!?!

[jim]

@enjoi408 I'm out of town this weekend, back on Monday... Maybe next weekend?

[enjoi408]

Seems like everyone is out of town this weekend. Next weekend I will be hitting up Foster City on Saturday but it's also around the time that rain is coming too. So we'll see if we can get some sunshine.

[akraut]

@enjoi408 I get my board back from repair today so I'm down to give it a good test run this weekend.

[wr420]

@akraut @enjoi408 I should be around. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

[enjoi408]

@wr420 @akraut and I will be riding at Shoreline in Mountain View this Saturday. You are welcome to come!

[akraut]

Er, update... Either my board was shipped to someone not me, or I got someone else's post-repair shipping notification. Stay tuned as this story develops...

[enjoi408]

@wr420 If akrout is unable to make it, did you want to still check out Shoreline?

[eeg]

I'm up for a ride at Shoreline this Saturday

[eeg]

I got a spare board for ya if yours doesn't show up @akraut

[enjoi408]

You hear that @akraut. MVP @eeg. You should get that man a cookie.

[akraut]

Good guy @eeg!

Heard back that my board actually shipped today and I got the wrong tracking number, so I should have my own board back by Saturday.

[enjoi408]

@wr420 @akraut @eeg OR anyone else want in the area that wants to join this ride Sat.

Shoreline Lake, Mountain View, CA
11:00AM sound good???
Meet in parking lot. There's a couple in that area and they are close to one another.

I'm going to bring my charger just in case we decide to ride more. There's a starbucks within the area.

[akraut]

Works for me. Though I'll be a bit late, but not by too much.

[enjoi408]

If anyone is confused on the location of the parking lot, here's a picture.
