so are we doing this or was this all a bunch of talk?

 

I’ll do it. I’ve ridden with you the last few weekends and haven’t croaked yet...

 

I'm out. Gotta work and there is money to be made. Have a great ride socially distanced fellas!

 

Dang it! I forgot you post your rides on Friday nights. Already committed to Oat Mountain.

 

Cancel Oat Mountain... simple.

 

Darn, can’t this weekend, but next is good
Have fun!

 

What in the world people!?!?!
You all talked about doing this ride this Saturday, then bail...

 

I blame it on COVID-19 for everyone who was interested.

 

I still want to do it within the next couple of weeks. Can we postpone and maybe give more than a 12 hour notice?

 

Definitely a bunch of talk. Apartment living is rough...

Are you guys sure there isn't a deputy parked there? Strava shows almost 30 entries for April that suddenly stop on April 4. Only 2 entries after that in the last 7 days.

There was a copter circling over the Mt. Wilson Toll Road yesterday... Pretty sure he was looking for the guy in the lone Subaru that was parked near the smaller entrance.

 

Well it’s a highway and not a state park so what are they going to pull you over for? Transporting? One way or the other, I’m heading to @Voodoo Tom ’s place and we are riding something and will probably be this ride...

 

If you guys need to get bailed out, don't call me.

Good luck in prison.

 

There’s no way this is closed and no way they would waste any resources policing it ever. Besides if there was a deputy with a bazooka pointed at us there’s a couple other directions we can take the ride. Anyone who’s worried about getting busted on this ride should never come with us on our true adventure rides.

 

City people...



besides, California will just let me out so I can go rob a bank...

 

You're right, I'm sure... The Strava entries probably dropped to zero, because people are taking the health issue seriously.

 

And it’s been raining everyday.

 

On my way!

 

Wait for meeeeeee!!!!

Or not. Have fun out there boyzzzz.

 

I'm already halfway to the top!

 

I must have taken a wrong turn. I ended up at the top of Oat Mountain.

 

We’re done!
We took turns leading the ride and not one COVID-19 virus jumped out from behind any bushes.

 

No but some Blue Moon beerz jumped out of my fridge for our enjoyment while we sat on separate sides of my garage and took care of em...

 

I'm having me one of those right now and I'm gonna need more. @Faust29 will tell you why in a lil while.

 

We ran out but they were great. Not exactly ice cold Shocktop after a long ride great but neither one of us is complaining...
