    I know it's already late (8:41am) but has anyone got a ride planned for today or this afternoon?

    I'm mislead by the 27 degrees at my house and know if I drop to a lower elevation it won't be too bad...

    Anyone riding?

    Temps to hit 50 degrees in Castaic at Noon, so I guess I'm gonna hit Tapia and get a couple hours in.

    I'll be at the Sports Complex parking lot at around 11:30 if anyone wants to get a cruiser in...

    I'd be in for that! Never done either of those. Please post it up if you go. May ride Friday too. Perhaps 5-Deer, SOT double loop!

    My fingers were so frozen stiff today that I was having trouble hitting my dropper post button in a timely manner. I was thinking that I should bring my ear muff thingee next time, toughing it out this ride. It was only 45F, but the wind was pretty strong and gave me a bit of a workout early on, until I just gave in and started spinning in a low gear. Still probably better than what you're facing. I was just not geared up properly.
     
  15. Don't ride alone, be safe and stay warm. Happy New Year from our place in Kernville. :cool:

    I'll let you know in the morning Greg, New Years ya know. :yawn: And I don't have to tell you it won't be early ;) . Probably about 2,500 or more of climbing and a little HAB.

    Is that the one you said I probably wouldn't like? Maybe I'll check out the Punchbowl for a possible snow ride instead! I'll check with you in the a.m. Happy New Year!

    Guys,
    Bluesrider and I hit up Tapia today and although cool it was perfect! A little bite in the breeze but we got in over 26 miles and over 3k of climb... I think we got lucky...
    It was 50 degrees when we hit the trail.
