    I'm gonna hit Holy Jim tomorrow, and then do an Aliso Creek/Wood Canyon loop from my home on Thursday. Add in my Friday run, and I'll be ready for Harding next Sunday :)

    I just realized I haven't been to Santiago in two years, so I'm going to be building toward some peak rides.

    I would always welcome the company, though I am building back from a long summer with almost no biking. I am operating at about 50% power :) Though I'd love to do UHJ I doubt I'll have the fuel in the tank. With the kinds of miles you guys have been knocking out recently I'm sure you could ride up and over Santiago and not bat an eye :)

    How does 9AM sound at the upper lot sound?

    You "old guys" sound pretty fast. I'm a whiting / stt frequent flyer, so let me know when you guys hit it again.

    I'll be trying the peak in October. Been too long.

    Hey Slap... I'll be happy to tag the peak with you...

    I'm going to drag my sorry butt up Harding tomorrow at 6:30 if you're interested. Just an out and back while I get my legs back under me.

    I won't be going to the peak tomorrow, that's for sure :) I'm just climbing to get some strength and endurance back.

    I think next weekend I'll be up in Idyllwild, but I'm still game for doing the peak in October. I'm more of a Sunday rider tho just because my Saturdays are usually busy with the family... how strict are your Sunday mornings? Maybe a Saturday night service might be in order one week :)

    My family's pretty involved at church, so i can't skip Sunday service. Also, I've broken bones and cracked ribs in the last few months so i try to stay on the good side of the big Guy upstairs. Peak's definitely a big chunk of my Saturday, but i figure it's about time to go back up there. If you can set aside one saturday in October, let me know and we'll plan on it.

    No kidding! I'm bored and have nothing to do? Next excuse will be that the bird cage needs fresh newspaper...:poop:
    What you really intended to say is, " I'm bored with the crud I have to do, and don't have any time to do what I want to do!"

    I was thinking along the lines of... I am bored with myself and am looking for the stimulation that comes from meeting new people and biking with them :)

    I did the Peak today. It was a long ride. I'm up for it again before it snows up there
