    Thinking Saturday... First big ride on the Chameleon. Trabuco wash, Holy Jim, Main Divide to the peak, "down" to the Motorway, Roadie spin to the Luge, downhill to O'Neill and back to the wash. Might take the upper Joplin cutoff, and might skip the Luge... Pace will be slow.

    23 miles and probably 6000 feet to get to Motorway.

    Darn it! I wish I would have seen this ahead of time. I didn't get enough out of yesterday's afternoon ride and I was half way thinking of riding up to the towers myself. I've seen OTB up there before.

    You should have come out. Our hazing ritual consists of having to beat 70+ year old Dale aka Old Fart. Easier said than done because he climbs like a goat :thumbsup:

    Jennifer wants to do a road ride tomorrow. Sounds like she wants to put some time in the saddle. Probably just local from home though. Sunday will be MTB but that is up in the air.

    Aliso. Now-ish. Say 8:30 am roll from Canyon Vistas. Nothing much on the docket - just need to get some exercise and grin a little.

    Update: Went there. Did that. A bit anemic, but both objectives met. :thumbsup: :cool:

    Tomorrow morning (8/20) at the intersection of GMR and Sierra Madre. 0600 wheels up. Intend to climb GMR/GRR/Mt Baldy Rd till I die. Then return via Mt Baldy Rd/GRR/MTT.

    But since I will get no takers on the climb, I may start sooner or later than the above. :whistling:

    Trying to decide where to ride this wed in big bear area. Quick poll: which is better, exploration trail or wildhorse canyon. Or..Hannah flats/grays peak. ?
    Leaning towards exploration.
    Haven't ridden any of these but have hiked up to greys peak. Love big bear area but not really into the bike park anymore.

    Exploration looks way more fun than Hannah Flats/Grays Peak.

    Never been to Wildhorse Canyon but I have ridden Exploration and Hanna/Grays many times. Both are fantastic but they are black and white in difference.

    If you want a wonderful medium tech ride with lots of chunky sections to roll through and over, Exploration will give you smiles for miles.

    Hanna/Grays is XC riding. Hanna Flats is rolling, twisty, turny bliss. When you reach the end, a short way down the fire road (2N70) is Gray's Peak. It's a grind to the top but the views are breath taking and you feel a world away from it all. Park in Fawnskin. Make it a loop by continuing on Grays Peak trail toward the lake after you drop back down the mountain. It will drop you out on the other end of Fawnskin.
