    I noticed you weren’t picked for the roster. Cyclotourist is tough. :eek:

    To plus or not to plus. That is the question.

    Definitely don't blow past this last bit of dirt... it's fun and fast, and skips riding on Hwy 38:

    I’m still waiting on the bearings for my rear plus wheel. I may go 1/2 fat. :D

    What time do y'all plan on being on the trail? Looks like the official ride starts at 9-9:15.

    The plus tires are already on there so that is what I will run. This week is already kicking my butt and I have a feeling I will need all the help I can get on Saturday.

    OK I booked the last seats on the Crazy Bear shuttle, so no driving for me=More beer for me at the end of the ride :) See you hooligans at the top or somewhere on the trail. Not sure what time Crazy Bear is dropping us off yet.

    I had an inside connection. Sounds like both vans are booked because the list shows 22 riders :cautious:

    90% in.

    Probably going to start at Loch Leven extra early. Either that or do the 10 miles of road from Redlands to Loch Leven even earlier :(

    I have some chronic knee inflammation that bothers me when it's warmer out. But I figure if I can get in and out of my package car 150 times a day then I sure as heck can ride my bike. But of course I don't know any better. Take care of your knees.

    The steep drop? It actually is that much drop in a short distance.

    I think there's something wrong with the GPS... there's that drop, and the the previous two... looks like Strava extrapolated. Emerald St. is a nice hands-free cruise down hill after getting beat up for the previous 30 miles! :)

    It looks like that Garmin lost signal in a few spots.

    Well, just wrecked my bike and ruined a crank arm. So...

    I'll see if the XO from my other bike will work. Or if I can piece that bike together in a couple hours tomorrow.

    I have a near-new crankset including 30 and 32 tooth chainring. 170mm crank arms. PF bottom bracket. SRAM X1. It's sitting in a closet not being used. Let me know if you are interested. We can work out a very reasonable deal, or even loan it to you, if it comes back in better shape than your current crankset.

    I'll put it in my car. I work in north OC (Fulleton/Placentia/Yorba Linda area). Hit me with a PM if interested.

    I'm in...
    I need a ride to the top as well. I'm hoping @Voodoo Tom is in so we can carpool there from Northern imtbtrails-land. So that would mean two to the top.
    I have to get my fix of shredding with..."The Trail Slayer". Oh, and you too @Grego ...;)

    Oooh, oooh, oooh! Pick me! Pick me! pick me! (and hopefully @Voodoo Tom !)
    Oh wait, you are not probably talking shuttle to the top.
