Wrightwood thursday AM!

 

Wrightwood or Exploration tomorrow Fri. 8:30 who's in?

 

I'll be throwing a leg over the bike in my garage tomorrow morning. Log in!!! Join me!!!

 

I am in, if that is cool? I was planning to go Wrightwood solo tomorrow morning. If that is where you end up.

 

Great see you there at Jackson lake at 8:30.

Text to confirm.

 

Canceled too much unrest going on. Hope that sh#t in Wash. does not ignite a flame. Wife is frieking out. Gotta stay close to home.
Catch you next time @SS Barby .

 

Sorry you got waylaid, Tom. Good to take care of family.


This weekend I’m showing the weez a beautiful but largely unused local area. (Zero users when I was there midweek.) Not much ST but I’m still psyched to nose around. Short but steep ride planned up into a section I haven’t ventured. Hundreds of people see this area every day from I-80. I drove past it a hundred times myself. A couple snow patches up there still, looks like a good area to spot game.

Bicycles are awesome.

 

U just cant have too many HTs

 

Holy Jim was one of my personal fav's.
May it rest in peace...

 

So, just curious... how many car miles are folks puttin' in to get some bike miles?
I used to head out to Santiago Creek mid-week for a HJ->Main Divide -> W. Horsetheif and saw nary a soul on the trail.
I always felt guilty fo the drive and now so so many of the trails have burned/washed out that it others are impacted.

How far do I have to drive from Seal Beach nowdays to find a peaceful trail?

 

About 100 miles or more for a peaceful trail. Or just the right timing!

 

Whatever it takes to get the goods. Three hours or less one way 1x a week if need be. Out the front door, preferably.

That tandem is cool!!! TFPU Holy Jim trail will rise from the ashes I'm sure.



@kingaucho wants to put in some time on the Tahoe Rim later this week. This should be a nice hit – Tahoe Meadows around Marlette Lake and back on Flume/Incline etc.

 

what app or map system is that?

 

It's the Route Planner at Trailforks.com. A nice way to let someone know where you are going – no account necessary to view saved routes. Well worth creating a free account.

 

Bend, OR Friday and Saturday. We'll be on gravel bikes and we're riding from our hotel. I used Strava's route builder and put together a few 30-40 mile routes to choose from that are at least half dirt. Should be fun.

 

July 4 I'll be in OC. I wanna ride Joplin assuming crowds wont be up that high in the mountains. I've done it solo before but welcome company who doesn't mind a slooooow climb up Harding. You can do interval training if you get antsy. I haven't ridden in 2 weeks and wont have time until maybe next weekend.

 

What time you thinking of starting @DangerDirtyD ? I haven't done Harding or Joplin yet. I should be able to persuade the OH to give me some time off for good behavior.

 

Plan to start sometime between 1 and 2 pm from Cooks Corner area.

 

I’d help you out, but I’m gonna be in Montana that weekend.

 

Ouch

 

Recovery mission for a ten-dollar water bottle? Let’s hope it goes better than the phone I lost...

90s heat wave means dawn patrol or bust.

I’m liking this MO. Leave something in the cool places you go so you have to return.

 

Sunset will be at 8:05. Are we talking so slow that lights may be in order?

Before I moved out of the OC bubble, I was planning on a double Joplin ride for my birthday... I only know one rider who's done a double Joplin. And he's reading this thread!

 

Summer break has officially started! The goal is 3 rides a week.

Boo yah

 

Let’s go!!!

 

Strawberry dawn patrol Tuesday 6am from Clear Creek. Casual pace but lately the climb to Josephine saddle has been a psuedo time trial

 

Getting one last ride in while I'm here in Durango. Headed up to 7600' above the town of Dolores to escape the heat at the Boggy Draw & Italian Canyon trail systems. Mostly intermediate blue stuff but all in the forest with incredible views as far as the eye can see at the edges. This area never fails to put a smile on my face....very similar to the Big Laguna & Cuyamaca stuff out by Nobel Canyon. https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/4352303/boggy-draw-loop

I took my daughter up there the last time she was here.

 

I’m out. Money calls...

 

Gonna bump this to 7am as the predicted heat wave ain't showing up.

 

I may be in, but I'm hoping it's not a time trial.

 

That would be me. But I took a three year rest between the first and second drop.
