If you're 5-10 to 6' tall, you can ride my GG Smash.

Can’t take this Tuesday off but I can take lots of days off so hopefully there is another round of this in the near future, been wanting to go to YM for a long time.

@Cornholio, another day that week that works for you? I got some wiggle room, let's do it.

 

[Faust29]

Not exactly in the same league, but that's the same day as the Black Star Equinox ride. Social cruise and beer!

Thanks for that reminder. Another reason for a different day?

I might be game for both... Just pointing it out.

Ah!!! Thanks for turning on the light for me.

Gotta practice what I preach with my team at work and give a little more heads up for days off. Literally just got after one of my analysts this week for asking for 3 days off next week last minute... which I approved in the end. I’ll take a gander at my calendar on Monday and hit you up for a mission soon!

 

[rossage]

Really want to join in on this one but, we are in the process of moving and the 20th is "the" day to move in. If everything goes smoothly we will be in before then, but you never know....

I can't think of anyone who would enjoy it more. Stars align sometimes; I'm happy when they do.

Good luck with the thankless job of moving!

@mike, are you coming back to Cali at long last?

 

[mike]

@mike, are you coming back to Cali at long last?

Hey, now, I never really left...just doing some vocational roaming. I can say for sure I'll be in OC that week

 

[Cornholio]

I’m an idiot and misread the date, thought it was like 48 hours from now Tuesday. I’ll see what I can do, want to do this.

Don’t do kids, they mess with your brain! Do drugs instead.

 

[littlewave]

Y’all check your brake pads.

 

[Cornholio]

I’m in.. a week+ heads up is easy enough so just logged on my work calendar and put me out that day. 3/20 it is?

Awesome, CornBro. It's gonna suck!!!

Riding your own steed, or are you ~my size?


Rossage, I know you don't like huge crowds, there's two already

I’ll be riding my rig, hopefully not walking it too much.

 

[knucklebuster]

Hmmm..... Maybe if I get an hour or two head start you'll catch me at Los Pinos Peak for the downhill.....

No way, Dave. I don't know about corn, but I'm going slow up that hill. No reason to hurry. It'll be a blast, you gotta show. I know FauSteve it itching to do it. Pls join!!!!!

 

[sir crashalot]

Aw man, not Wednesday?!!

 

[mike]

Aw man, not Wednesday?!!

Hey, you got well pretty fast...

We'll have to leave it to @Cornholio and @knucklebuster – I could do either day (both days?). It would be great to ride&slide again, pal

 

[Cornholio]

I can do Wednesday but need to know ASAP as I’m about to head into my Monday morning management meeting at 8 where I have to give a heads up for my absence.

Wednesday works for me

 

[mike]

Saved by the bell, Gary! Let's do Wednesday, then. Thanks for being on it, guys.

 

[Cornholio]

Cool..

Beginning to wonder if I got in over my head for this one after reading previous RR’s. I don’t mind the humility of walking some downs but my fitness is subpar right now and hoping I’m not too much of an anchor on the way up. Got a “race” on Saturday that is only 15 miles and 2k gain so hopefully that warms me up.

Okay, we'll have no more of this kind of talk!!!!!!! Dave and Gary try this every other time we go...and nothing bad ever happens Banish thoughts of inadequacy and get psyched for new dirt!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mtnbikej]

It’s a fun ride....not a fan of climbing Trabuco, but coming down Yeager is a blast. Especially after the ground gets a little wetness this week.

Plus @mike will show you how to ride down everything.

If I get a two hour head start, maybe you'll catch me walking down.

I'm over my head... And will probably walk a lot. I still want to see it, though. mike won't bite your head off for walking or taking our time going up the mountain.

And with how loose Trabuco is right now, I'll walk more of the uphill than I did the last time.
