    So Yeah, I'm just crazy/stupid enough to ask last minute if anyone wants to go do an Epic in Kernville tomorrow.
    Just got bike parts today so I will fix the bike tonight to be ready for manana.

    This takes at least two vehicles as it is a shuttle...

    Just thought I would throw it out there.
    I'll be out in the garage fixing the bike, check on this post in a bit....
    Sorry about the last minute!

    2 gates. One right near the switchback when you turn right and leave the river and the second one at the Big Meadow split. Forest Service locks them for the winter.

    Yeah... This went on the must do list after Bernie and the gang did it in the snow. But, like Mtnbikej says, it's not a last minute ride for us orange curtain dwellers.

    I'll be driving my younger son and his posse back to Holy Jim, so they can hike Santiago Peak...

    Actually that is not a bad idea. I like the fact that there will be no cars on the road.

    Can't do it tomorrow, though. I'm doing the annual OTB Epic Chilao.
    I'd be game for that next weekend.

    Thanks a lot! I have been wanting to do Strawberry forever! Can't do it tomorrow due to previous commitment.

    What possible commitment could you have other than mountain biking???:eek:

    Now @Voodoo Tom and I are thinking about doing Sisar to Red Reef then back up to do Gridley.
    We're (I'm) a confused bunch! o_O

    Yeah.....
    Sorry this is all over the map. Been a week.
    Going to go do Sisar to Red Reef to Gridley and drop to the road back to the vehicle...
    Never done this route before. Should be there around 9:30 am if anyone is interested.
    Probably be a crawl climb until we figure out our legs from Kokopelli...:whistling:
