[Luis]

Anyway, what was this thread about???

Oh yeah, BIG BEAR!!!

Who's amped about this ride?!

Yea!
So, what’s the route again?

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Follow your nose. It always knows. Then, make a left turn at Albuquerque...

Like this:

Is this the same route we did last time? If not, whats different? Can some one plug in some trails names/segments?
Thanks!

Just putting this out there. Riding on a Saturday, when the park is open, means there will be bike traffic coming down Pirates, Skyline, Fern as soon as the park opens at 9(?). Dragging a big group up in a clockwise fashion might add some annoyance. I'm sure there are many who couldn't care less and some that do, but as a local I felt a responsibility to put that out there. I'll ride it no matter what direction we go, but climbing fern-Plumbers pre-9am would be wise.
(sorry, I haven't noticed the start time yet...10 page thread!)

We had a big group last time, and it wasn’t an issue.

OK, I was trying to be neutral before, but I love this route...

 

[scottay]

Started at 0830 last time tho..

Is that the ride (video posted earlier) where the parking lot was completely empty when you started? It will be the polar opposite of that @ 10am on a Saturday this season.

 

[Cyclotourist]

Que??

It's dank!

 

[Cornholio]

Day 9 of a really bad cold, bronchitis at this point but given my weakened immune system I have to get a TB Gold test done this week to be safe. Yes, that’s for tuberculosis.

Have fun folks.

Here is the .tcx file for a Garmin.

Can't open this file. Can you share it as an image?

Almost... yours here uses the Snow Forest ST shortcut.

It's a .tcx file.
Sorta like a .gpx file.
It's a file you would upload to a Garmin Edge Cycling Computer. Still trying to figure out the Wahoo file.
Best image would be this.

74 is quite warm up in that thin air. Shade will be our friend on this day of bikening.

GPX isn't a "Garmin" file format... It's an open standard, and works just fine with Wahoo. No need to change anything.

Dang, say it like it is, Brother Steve!

Does it work with YeeHaw?
Just askin’ for us folks who have no clue what Wahoo is. @SnakeCharmer told me it was a fish.
In all seriousness, will Trailforks be enough for those of us that might need navigational help?

You'll be fine... This is a "no man left behind" ride.

AWESOME! @Faust29 has just volunteered to do sweep!

Thanks Steve!

What's Wahoo? Annoying is what it is. At least on STRAVA, because anyone that uses it gets a nice ad on their ride stats when I view it.

But as a fish....yum!

 

[DangerDirtyD]

I’m in. I got all day, and i’ll need it.

Strava has started that targeted advertising lately with all devices... As a Wahoo user, I see Garmin ads. The user has to turn that "partner feature" off...

Thanks for the link. I didn't know you could turn it off. I can stop annoying @Danimal now.

You ruined the surprise!
I was going to pull into the lot and yell “I brought McNuggets!”
