    If you’re not barfing and can still gasp enough air to talk then it’s a social ride...

    Skyline Trail does not require full squish in any way. In fact, a CX bike would be fine. Oh sorry, those are now called "gravel" bikes. My bad. :facepalm:

    Run what ya brung. :thumbsup:

    CX bike is not the same as a gravel bike. But agreed, it's a distinction lost on this type of ride.

    I’ve seen everything up there, for sure. It seems to be popular with the 26er Preservation Society.

    Will there be a socially distanced/social gathering in the parking lot afterward?

    If so, I hope that there is adequate time to produce enough face masks with the imtbtrails.com logo plastered on them.

    Yep, it's actually snowless from what I saw in the pics. I am shocked considering that gnarly snow dump they received last month. Musta been that week of Summer we had recently that melted it.

    Yes it is aaaaaaallllll clear. I do not recommend any type of skinny tired bike. The trail is very loose with quite a bit of sandy loose stuff on the west end. Temps in the 60s all day. This Sat. is out for me family in town. Next Sat. looks better but no commitment at this time. Gotta wait till it gets closer.
    Ride it baby!

    Well?
    Unless there is going to be a paradigm shift in votes looks to be the following week and not this upcoming weekend.

    The Hooligans have spoken! By the people, for the people... :thumbsup:

    Every weekend has been Memorial Day Weekend since the closures were put into place. The Big Bear residents have been screaming out loud "Go home, get off my mountian!" for some time now.

    I doubt the bike park trails will be open, and no, I can't drive yet. If I could drive, I would ride!

    I just received an email yesterday that the lifts start spinning on the 22nd. Not sure how they plan on "social distancing" on the lifts? You can expect every bro in SoCal to be up there as everybody's jonesing to ride and they generally fit the crowd that Covid19 bothers the least. I would expect the parking lot to be packed. Plan accordingly.

    They guys will have to do a Dawn Patrol ride to beat the crowds.
