    I need to get better at this...
    It’s fun to get out with a couple of guys and push our limits, however, I got to say, the big meet and greets have gone really well and I have thoroughly enjoyed the big club rides. The Mikie ambush with the barbecues and all was one of the best times of my life and I’m talking about the group ride and grubbing with imtbtrails family afterwards part. That was so awesome and fun!

    So I was hoping we could put a few of them together for 2018. We ain’t getting any younger!
    I was thinking at least 2, and maybe even 3 to even 4, unless we get sick of each other.

    Was also thinking of what locations. Naturally Wrightwood, Big Bear, and stuff like San Juan and Holy Jim and Palm Canyon come to mind. Wrightwood is really a good spot as it has the parking lot, Jackson Lake, park benches and grills with lots of big trees and kinda centrally located. Not a lot of traffic and EXCELLENT trails!
    Big Bear is kinda like a tailgate party. Do our ride, come back to some hibachi and coolers of refreshments... good times!

    I’m not a great planner, but I think the group rides and face time connections are great for all of us.

    Looking for some input, suggestions, and a great event planner!

    I like the idea.

    If you plan it, they will come.

    Chose a date and plan it a good ways in advance. Those that can make it will. With enough notice most can usually rearrange the schedule.

    Bummed I missed out on the “Mikie Ambush Ride”.

    Bit of a drive for most but maybe a Pinos/McGill day could work. Take over one of the campgrounds and have some fun. Climb, descend, shuttle, beer & bbq, camp. Just a random thought.

    Wrightwood is an awesome idea.

    Agreed!
    You did miss out on the M.A.R., ha ha! It was extremely well planned and executed, and it was a great time had by all!

    I don't like group rides. I get some pretty serious anxiety and end up alone. That said, I would be down for Wrightwood, if you can keep the ride under 4000' of climbing.

    Me too. I don't like big group rides at all. Maybe all of us loners can get together for a solo ride.
