    I am coming back from a 2 week road trip to PNW. I get back on the 2 nd. If the weather cooperates, in the 80's and no fires I will try to get in. I know it's iffy but that's where I am. Been wanting to do this ride.

    It’s gonna be hot! I think it’s going to be Mammoth or Big Bear it’s looking like. And I know it’s cool up top of the plunge, but it’s hot for camping and riding other trails.

    I wasn't going to mention it, but since you did... 4-5 hours is a long drive to end up at 1000' elevation in summer. :speechless:

    @Redman, I'm in OC and seeking a seat on a carpool. What's your schedule on leave and return?

    Right now it’s looking like a bonzai trip. Drive up early Saturday and home when done. I’ve done similar turnaround trips many times. Driving up Friday after work would work too. Not planning on staying Saturday night

    Home... After lunch at the brewery! :thumbsup:

    We’ve done this twice before and it’s been fine both times...

    Not half as bad as my 900 mile taco run in December. :D

    I'm good with that either way. Only drawback with Friday is I'd figure the traffic will be awful well into the night getting through LA. Last time I was delayed by a detour avoiding fires, then sleeping in the heat near Kernville before, my thought was next time just treat it as a very long day trip since we didn't get much rest the night before anyway. I like Steve's idea to arrive at the eatery in time for breakfast.

    But I'll put up happily either way and be delighted to ride Cannell again. That top section is just Southern Sierra XC gold.

    Long range weather forecast is favorable...high of 92* in Kernville. Beats the triple digit heat of years past.

    Poor guy...first time we rode an epic together, he had to wait for me to destroy a Jack-in-the-Box bathroom in full stormtrooper kit before entering Trabuco Cyn.

    DDD may be high maintenance, but DDD rides safe.
