    Putting feelers out for which date would work best. I can do either

    You'll home by 9:00am.

    Probably 20ish miles... Finish when the sun comes up. :)

    Up Boy Scout and over to Logjammer, Leprechaun, and who knows what else. You haven't lived until you've seen the sun come up at the end of a Wrightwood ride.

    I'm in either date. Maybe a suggestion of parking at Mt High climb fire roads to Blue Ridge descent into Leprechaun. Out to Boy Scout climb finishing with Logjammer. Just to mix it up a little. Just a suggestion, I am in anyway

    We did that on WWNA #1. Found ourselves walking quite a bit of Blue Ridge singletrack.

    We learned that Mountain High takes their nighttime security seriously... chains, fencing, multiple signs, etc at the entrance that we normally roll through in the daytime.

    True story: Whenever one of our kids would start throwing a tantrum we would start taking pictures of them or video of it.
    They would instantly stop.
    I hope their future insurance covers mental health services.

    I've done it twice on the single speed, and once on the Hightower. I had more fun on the single speed... But I'm torn. Moxie would have some fun on the downhills... even in the dark. First world problems.

    Am I exiting the 210 to pick up a hitchhiker on my way?

    The Bonanza needs some work and a test ride before she gets the nod for a back-country capade. New saddle, rear tire, and brake pads at minimum. Time will tell on that front.

    The Rumblefish needs new rear brake pads, is all.

    The SquiggleBug is undergoing a rear wheel rebuild.

    A carpool would be most appreciated! If ya wanna, I can drive us from La Verne to reciprocate the Mt. Wilson shuttles. Anyone in addition to you, though, and someone would be riding in the back seat of an extended cab Tacoma from an era of little trucks.

    There may be another rider from these parts joining...

    I don't mind driving, and I probably get better mileage. Think of the planet. :p

    If I had to bet between @SnakeCharmer and @rossage, I’d put my money on the Sausage over the Snake. Nevertheless, I’m betting it’s the Bug!
