    Like Nairo Quintana! Well, the dilemma here would be the seat post would not drop low enough for you because the frame has an intentional bend in the seat tube. Hope you can get out there!

    I'm good ponying up $42 for a shuttle especially if it means extra time at the brewery. Also ok with self shutting.

    Comfortably numb.
    Totally doable rigid, but it's one of those rides where 100 mm squish up front comes in handy.

    I might be out for this one. I spent the summer trying to convince my wife to go camping with me. She finally accepted so I got to do that.
    We might even end up in that area but it wouldn't be fair to make her get off bed at 5 in the morning just to go hang out for half a day.

    Ok I'm IN beeeyoches :sneaky:

    I have Jose and Scott confirmed also. Cisco is a maybe and my friend Carlos is still pending. We are ready to call MRA and reserve our shuttle spots if that is the general consensus. I would rather not self shuttle because that is too time consuming.

    Oh, and if you're worried about the size of the group @Mikie , don't. :ninja:

    @Mikie , may I suggest letting the individual rider reserve a seat for themselves? That's the way I've done it in the past.
    Jose, Scott and I will call and reserve our seats today :thumbsup:
    That way nobody is out any money for no shows and it commits those that reserve.

    Also, go to their website and print and fill out their liability release forms. Bring them with you.
    Makes the check in process that much quicker!

    As much as I'd like to, I can't picture another 8 hours in the car just yet... Especially with no other takers from down south.

    Have fun!

    I would rather ride the Plunge in the snow than in some of the heat I have been in out there.

    I'm in. Well I'll know tomorrow when I call MRA to reserve the front seat of that van. I already have a room in town.

  30. Sounds like I'm driving the carpool. My truck can fit 5 additional riders. Luis is coordinating the meet time and location but it sounds like it will be at the Castaic Sports Complex. Looking forward to terrorizing the trails with you fearless, classy gents.
