    Labor Day Weekend is the only concern. But it's probably as good as any other weekend in that it's great for some bad for others.
    I just want to see this happen!

    I'm not worried about crowds on the mountain as much as all the traffic getting there. I'm in either way.

    The first was on my birthday. Why did it take that long to set the second one?

    Yeah, I imagine it'll be pretty busy. I was up there last weekend @ 8:30, and it was dead, so if that holds true, it won't be super busy at the start/going up. But by the time we start heading down there's gonna' be a lot of traffic in town. The back way down 38 might be better than 18/330.

    Kept waiting, and waiting... don't want to lose the momentum we had on the SART ride!!! That was a great showing, hopefully we can get that and exceed it even!

    I'm going up tomorrow and doing a loop to Grandview... I'll be looking for you!

    Hmmmmm.... My understanding is that there is some climbing on Skyline. :eek: Yet the chairlifts are sooooooo close.... :confused:

    I would pay money to see @Mikie take a chairlift ride with his bike and a ride down one of Snow Summit's trails. :thumbsup: Although, I am guessing SS trails will be quite busy on Saturday 9/2.

    Awe, come on?! Plumbers is only 300' elevation gain for the first mile. It gets "flatter" as you progress from there. Easy breezy.

    But there's a chairlift....

    OK, ok, I'll think about it. I actually enjoy Skyline. I was the first person to ride it. In fact, I built it. Yeah, that's it. I built it! :sneaky:


    I may be exaggerating a bit. :oops:

    Cold weather is just around the corner, I could use some riding mittens.....and warm muffins. :)

    I'll try to make this, could use at least one skyline ride this summer.

    There's a 50/50 chance I'll be in the OC area that week for work. :unsure:

    If I am, I'll try and extend my stay into the weekend. :thumbsup:

    CO to OC? Nice!
    I did that shift on a relatively permanent basis in 1999. I think one of our stalwart IMTBers is stomping around your backyard right about now (@mike and his wife).
