RIDE CANCELLED

 

Heck yeah sounds like fun. 2300 ft of climbing around there...

 

Well that is one righteous Trailhead invite. I got to make sure I’m not out in Florida at that time.

 

It sounds ok, even if it isn’t the Floop...

 

We can turn it into a death march.

@buggravy there's a new trail that starts just above the top of Bones called Back Door. I believe it somewhat parallels Bones and drops out on Palo. I'm going to check it out this weekend.

 

Definite maybe - as described!

But absolutely not if it turns into a death march.

 

Cool, would love to hear intel on it. What I heard about it was not good, but possibly because it's still new and just not well established.

 

Yay, I’m in too!!!

 

Hoping to make this. Would be new dirt whoo!

 

I’d like to, but that would be the third straight weekend of long drives to ride after WW50 and Hellacious Ride.

 

That's no long drive, mister. But it sure can seem like it when you drive by other riding areas in perfect conditions along the way!!!!!! Says the proponent of no-car outings...

@buggravy, I believe this is your first group ride lead on the site. AYE, man!! Bummed I'm not within striking distance. Yea, I know...7.5 hours is striking distance.

 

It won't be a death march.

 

I'd love to join on this adventure, but many stars would have to align, and I'm not Copernicus.

 

Dude, this is bigger than you. This is the hallowed ground where Squigglebug first dirtied her wheels. I think you owe it to her to let her reconnect with her roots. Also, dude, come on, it’s going to be so fun.

 

I tried it out about two months ago. It was pretty much loose dirt and some landscaping flags to mark out the trail. Not too exciting but I can see the vision and there are some fun steep chute/roller features.

 

I just talked to a buddy of mine who rode it earlier this week. He says other than a short HAB section it's in great shape.

 

Obviously, I am in!

 

Strong case!!!!!

 

Good call buggravy, gonna try to make this

 

There's really not enough elevation out there to have a real death march. More than likely I'll be riding from home.

 

On the morning of the ride, perhaps you should leave predawn, head for Las Llajas and do the Chumash loop....then... pedal over to the Cheese and join in. Maybe a little stroll through Lang Ranch to finish up? Is that Death March enough?

 

No. That actually sounds like a road ride in the dirt.

 

Sounds like it's time for a gravel bike.

 

euuu gaspipe

 

Maybe you can hitch a ride with Steve?

 

Did a dry run of the ride as laid out above, and I think it's pretty perfect for a group ride, and will be a good intro to the area for anyone that hasn't ridden it before. Stats came out to 18.9 and 2535, and was right at 2.5 hours of ride time at a decent, but certainly not break neck pace. With some moist air in the mornings the dust is starting to settle down a bit, and should only get better by ride date. The single tracks are riding great, if pretty firm. Some work has been done on Bones, and the lower third that had been reduced to a tightrope line on the left with death ruts on the right now has some options for line choices, and overall it was super fun. Basically what I'm saying is, if you come on this ride I'm pretty sure all your wildest dreams will come true.

 

Thanks Pedro!

 

If'n this wasn't in BFE, I'd be all over it at my own special pace.

 

I searched for the right meme to complete my post, but they were all a little off.
