    I've emailed them directly to see what can be done. If this doesnt work out then I have friends who may be able to help. The fewer people involved the better of course.

    By the way medidutrera, I didn't mention before, but in case you don't know, I live in Madrid and am from California, so I can't really solve your problem. I would if I could!

    Orange County, though it's not too orange. I think some years ago there were orange groves there.

    Well that's funny, I went to UCI. Small world. I came here because I was majoring in Spanish and was really interested in the Spanish language and culture and all that sort of stuff. Still here :)

    I bet there's some good riding there! Must be awful being somewhere with great trails and not being able to take advantage of them.
