Here is a write up recapping our 2026 VisionQuest held on April 25: https://www.warriorsofsantaanas.org/blog/visionquest-2026-recap

Another successful Pow Wow. Vision Quest and Counting Coup. Incredible effort by all of these riders.

A little sad note for me. I will be stepping down as Co Director but will always be a Volunteer as this organization does some incredible work in our local Mountains.

Thank you all for the trail work and friendship over the years.

Idlehour with the Lowelifes Part 1: Approach and Trail Work (2026-03-14) Val and I had the pleasure of joining the Lowelifes for an overnighter in the San Gabriels. The plan was to work on Idlehour, which is currently closed to th...

watch on YouTube, link in bio. A couple of us at the Warriors of the Santa Ana’s joined The Lowelifes to help rehabilitate Idlehour Trail out in the San Gabriels. This mountain range, like our own, was ravaged by fire recently and thus closed most of the trails. The Lowelifes are working to keep the trails passable so they may be opened sooner, rather than later. If you want to get out on your closed Forest Trails and help restore them, join the Lowelifes or join us at the Warriors of The Santa Ana’s. Or donate or sign up for our mailing lists. Links in bio

A much smaller group of us pedaled to Beeks Place this morning to “undecorate “ the Christmas Tree.

Beautiful weather and great friends made this a fantastic day.

Unfortunately we missed Chas Beek (owner of cabin) by about 20 minutes. The Beeks family has been so gracious to our club over the years and we love decorating their tree. Prayers go out to their family for the current loss of Chuck Beek.

Single tracks in the way down didn’t disappoint! Although there were some large ruts we were blessed with hero dirt.

Followed by a healthy lunch at Cooks😜

Thanks for everyone’s help today.

We received some sad news today. Chuck Beek has passed away. He was a friend of the Warriors Society who along with his son Chas graciously allowed us to use their cabin “Beeks Place” to stage some of our events.

We recently pedaled up and decorated their Christmas tree which we do every year.

He will truly be missed by our club and all the lives he has touched over the years.

Peace, and smooth sailing.
