    I think that is referring to the climbing pace. If it's a shuttle day pace is irrelevant.

    I could be up for this one as there is a chance I'll be able to get Friday off. I'm definitely at the intermediate end rather than advanced in terms of pace but if you guys are happy with that then I'll let you know later this week if I'm able to join!

    Because it's better then calling it the "Because" Parking Lot.

    But, for further clarification it is because the parking lot is at a "Y" Intersection of the road. The road to the right goes to Pine Mountain Club, and the road to the left goes to the top of Mount Pinos. The actual name on Google Maps is "Mt Pinos vehicle meeting spot"... brilliant!

    @TomF @Danmtchl , just come up, it's either going to be an up and then down McGill Trail. If it is, I will cruise with you (anyone) that needs/wants to putt. If it turns into a shuttle, then it's a coaster to the bottom and we load up and do it again!
    I hope we do the ride up and down then shuttle the rest of the day personally. But good either way!

    I feel kinda bad for missing Ed and Jennifer's wedding, to make me feel better (comfortable) , and since it's Ed's birthday I was kicking around the idea of pulling up the RV just for the day for some shade and comfort, got to make a full day out of it and ride our butts off though, more like 6 to 8 hours.

    Hi guys is this ride definitely happening tomorrow and have you decided if its going to be an up and down or just shuttles? (I'm up for the climb if you are). I'm very tempted by this ride just gotta move some things around but hopeful I can make it.

    The ride is definitely happening. I plan on shuttling since the offer is there. Those that want to climb are more than welcome to. We'll be there most of the day. We plan on celebrating at Mike's Pizza down the road when we're through.

    After kicking around the trailer thought, I decided it's not going to happen, I will deliver at least with some shady breaks, will bring a couple of patio umbrellas so bring a chair if you want.
