Pleasants Peak needs our help. There is an abandoned camp at the summit that I’ve been keeping an eye on for four weeks. There’s a tarp, some old shirts and a small amount of trash left behind. Bring a small backpack and we’ll each carry a little out. Meet at 6:45 AM; pedal at 7:00 AM. We’ll meet at the bottom of Main Street Trail in the dirt lot at the end of South Main Street (the road). RSVP. Thanks!🙏🏽

Saturday, September 19 we returned to Maple Springs/Four Corners for our fifth clean up this year. The party litter at the pullouts and Four Corners is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately. There is illegal dumping that occurs in the forest. We found and cleaned up one site the best we could. We hauled about two truck loads of trash out of the forest, a lot from this one site. Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to make the forest better for us all. It felt good making an impact and enjoying the riding together. If you’d like to get involved, sign up for our mailing list at warriorsofsantaanas.org.

A big thank you to Trail’s End Cycling Center for returning as a sponsor of the 2026 Good Dirt Ride! 🚵 Trail’s End has been a longtime supporter of the ride and our cycling community, and they’re stepping up again this year as a Silver Sponsor. They are also donating a wheelset similar to the hand-built 27.5 all-mountain wheels they contributed previously, with similar components, for this year’s prize lineup. Last time around, that wheelset alone retailed for more than $900 before the winner added disc rotors, valve stems and a SRAM GX Eagle cassette. Support like this helps make the Good Dirt Ride much more than a great day of riding. Funds raised through the event benefit Africa Rising Cycling, helping create opportunities for cyclists and cycling communities across Africa, and OCMTBA, supporting trail stewardship, advocacy, restoration and access right here in Orange County. Thank you, Trail’s End Cycling Center, for continuing to support our riders, our trails and our mission to Pedal for a Purpose.
