    If anybody is willing to guide me and whoever wants to ride Chilao this coming Sunday or anytime after. I am dying to go ride there but don't remember the best way to ride it. It has been 12+ years and I don't want to ride by myself or miss any of the good features.

    I probably can. Got to check my social calendar.
    My death marches usually start from Charlton flats with a visit to Vetter mountain first.

    No, but on Sat. I have to go to Simi Valley by 1pm. But, can be free on Memorial Day as well. Supposed to do a century road bike ride on Memorial Day but would much rather do this if people want to ride on Memorial Day or early on Sat.

    No mud at all. Could be very soft dirt though. Lotsa rock.
