    Where: Jackson Lake Parking Lot, Wrightwood Trailhead Link: https://goo.gl/maps/uCSvNqVLt39JMSNx6
    Ride Description or Details:
    Most likely the typical hooplah:
    Up Boyscout and over to and dropping Log Jammer, using Fault Line as a connector over to drop Leprechaun, climb the fire road back up to Jackson Lake. Up Boyscout again to either drop Middle Jackson... or bomb back down Boy Scout (also a great descent).

    As an option and probably more likely... We "could" drop Log Jammer twice and Leprechaun twice. Leprechaun has been awesome!!!

    Jackson Lake Parking Lot. Descent Facility.
    Skill Level: Intermediate, Advanced
    Ride Pace: Easy with Moments of Effort
    Type of Ride: Loop
    Rider Limit: No Limit, but be prepared to ride. Prefer to ride slower with less stopping...
    Anticipated Mileage: Yup!
    Elevation Gain: Yup!
    Ride Duration: 4 to 5 Hours
    Previous Ride Reports: Gahzillion...
    Possible Bail-Outs: Turn Around or get off the Ferris Wheel near Jackson Lake

    Option to Upload:

    Note: Related to COVID. Out of respect I am sharing that I will guarantee you no one will be wearing masks, so please take that in to consideration. :)

    Something Like this. We could also drop Log Jammer Twice and Leprechaun Twice as an option...

    Climbing Blue Ridge isn't that bad... Probably easier in the daytime.

    Shuttle up to InspirationPoint.....or climb it fist thing and hit Leppy on the way down. Only the very last part or LoggingRoadTrail is fun anyhow.

    I can imagine that on a Memorial Day Holiday that Blue Ridge will be inundated with Hikers. Blue Ridge is better done during the week so you can bomb UN-impeded. :whistling:

    I agree. And it is really a long distance out of the way of all the other trails around Jackson Lake. Even more than the Table Mountain stuff.

    Shouldn't you be riding Slaughter Pen, The Back 40 or even the Womble Trail by now?

    I'm mysterious like that...

    Which I think adds to my overall annoyingness, if I'm not mistaken. :confused:

    But - when I say I am a definite, I am a definite. It's just rare that I commit to anything more than 15 minutes in advance.

    Rarely are we ever 100% positive about anything in life, so let me ask you this. Are you more likely to wear a dress and high heels today or ride in Wrightwood on Saturday?

    A year from now could you please delete this? :laugh:
    Oh! and what is SO wrong with a dress and high heels? o_O
    Shaved legs and a warm breeze is heavenly!
    (okay... I'll probably delete this in a year or so... :whistling: )

    I wasn't implying that there is anything wrong with it. I was simply trying to supply an example of an unlikely scenario (since he states there there is a 0% chance of participating in your ride this Saturday). But before we go any further here, let's allow Mark to reply to my inquiry. :eek:

    So we’ve been riding a trail lately....TheProfessor has picked up a minimum of 4 ticks each time down due to his sassqwatch legs....I’ve picked up a total of 1. He says I don’t get it....I said I shave my legs....nothing for those little blood suckers to grab a hold of. And yes on a hot day with a breeze blowing, it’s sooo nice. The swimming pool is even better. Don’t judge. :p

    not to mention that they look damn sexy glistening with sweat in the sunlight.


    There... said it....and I’m not editing it....ever. :thumbsup: Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful. :Barefoot:

    A year from now? It was locked in after 12 hours... House rules, Baby! It's part of the historical record now. :thumbsup: And screenshots are forever... :whistling:

    :Roflmao

    This ride sounds tempting, but I'm not sure what we're doing this weekend yet, so no commitment from me. :Barefoot: But if I do attend, I'm wearing two masks. I refuse to conform to your non-conformity. :p
