    Sorry I dont understand what do you mean, I am not native english speaker so perhaps my message has been misunderstood. I hope that my 2nd message is more clarifying.

    In that case, I hope the herd lets you flock around with them tomorrow! I won't be there. Which is what I am best at - not actually riding.

    Have fun! Oh, and Cheers!

    This is cool! Damn straight you could join this ride! Take my spot, for I must pass on tomorrow morning. I would think someone will be able to take you along up the mountain. If you need to drive all the way to the starting point, and you don't have a forest adventure pass, you'll get a ticket you can pay with a $5 forest adventure pass you could purchase retroactively.

    Welcome to California. It's kinda warm this weekend, but not bad yet when you consider what's coming down the pipeline.

    Thanks for your message! I was asking if I could join the shuttle with Luis, otherwise I will do as you say and pay retroactively, thanks for the tip.
    See you tomorrow then for those who come!

    Hi @Ricardo and welcome aboard. Sorry to say but the shuttle is full, but you're more than welcome to meet us at the carpool spot off the 210 fwy and caravan up the mountain. I can discuss the parking options for you in person. :)

    Forget about it, man. Your communication is excellent. We here are just hyper-vigilant about spammers posing as good people like yourself. :)

    Great riding outside of Seattle (from May-October anyway), check out the trail section from the bike group up there: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/ I suggest Tiger Mountain, Duthie Hill/Grand Ridge close in, my favorites are Greenwater area epics (Suntop, Palisades, Skookum Flats)

    Yup, this ride happened. Still gotta wrap my head around the number of riders that showed up.
    Thanks @mike for breaching the OC curtain and now you know the charm of the Strawberry peak loop.
    Great to meet and ride with you @Ricardo (yes guys, he is real).
    I'm sure someone will start a ride report...

    Thanks everyone for the show of love and brotherhood as my family and I embark on a new life journey! This group has always been a great place to share in my passion for riding mtb and I consider all of you great friends. Special shout out to @Luis who took me under his wing as a newbie OTB rider and showed me lots of new trails, introduced me to lots of awesome people, and taught crucial riding skills, love you man! Yesterdays ride I was crowned @Mikie Robin Mcguire BFF too (there are few of us now)!

    Shout out to @Fueledbyex8 @MrGreedom @mike @Ricardo who rolled through from IMTB. Folks, @Ricardo is a strong rider and cool dude! Look fwd to seein him join in on some IMTB rides.

    @Ricardo may get the award for fastest transition from first post to first group ride.

    We will miss you @Cisco Roots - even those of us who have not actually had the pleasure of riding with you. Cheers!

    Aww @Cisco Roots thanks for the kind words. Now you gonna have people thinking I'm patient and kind :inlove: when you know the opposite to be true. Especially when I point at you and laugh when you get a flat or eat Sh!t :cautious::rolleyes: I ain't holding anybody's hand o_O

    Since I was at the back of the pack making sure all the cats being herded stayed true to the course, I didn't take too many pictures.

    Here's the Relive activity
    https://www.relive.cc/view/1075882930
    and some pics:
    The extra credit group on the Colby Canyon single track. You can see the tiny specs in the middle of the picture.

    Looking back at Josephine saddle in the middle of the picture. I heard rumor that someone was planning to turn back at the top of the first climb. Ummm heck NO, not when the fun is just about to begin.
    The extra credit group bagged the peak while everyone regrouped at the top of the first climb. Josephine peak is kinda visible at the far right of the picture. You can see the fire road leading up to the top.
