[Voodoo Tom]

Where else would I ride my new ebike?

Hopefully it doesn't need re-jetted for the higher altitude

Phooey. I've already looked up a couple of places and there are still some available for $80 a night. That's cheap as far as I'm concerned.

What, you're not into spooning with fellow imtbtrailers?

The Tour de Big Bear road cycling event is 8/3. That might make the drive up or home a bit tougher.

Wife says to me last night when i mentioned this, "but we have plans the 10th"!
So I say to her, I think it means you have plans that day. She was actually totally cool with that...

 

[SnakeCharmer]

...and on that note, I repeat, "So then August 10th it is?..."

Let's ink this thing.

 

[Cyclotourist]

Snow Summit

 

[Danimal]

Snow Summit

I thought skyline? Hence the title.

August 10 works but no sleepover for me, it's my mama's birthday on sunday

 

[herzalot]

Is this Santa's Village?

No. Snow Summit is considerably further up the road. And while there is a lift-served bike park, this ride will be the Skyline Trail and a mix of others. So it will involve some high(ish) altitude climbing (6500-8000'). No chairlifts for this ride, although you could probably make it work.

A ha. Thanks herz!!! Highish altitude climbing huh??

None of the climbing is steep, but it sneaks up on you. You can do it!

Skyline is up behind Snow Summit, not Santa's Village.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Yep, lung collapsing, heart starving for oxygen, monster mountain biking adventure. It's absolutely GRAND up there.

Umm, Upper Fern is steep and Plumbers is even steeper. So,...

I don't recall anything particularly steep, and you know how much I like to climb. I recall Fern, I don't recall Plumbers.

That said, I usually do Skyline from the West - starting at Aspen Glen (Mill Creek Road) - working my way up Plantation, then Skyline - either direction. Sometimes both.

I do not think that you were there the last time I was there when we did a big group ride on Skyline. We started in the SS parking lot, climbed Fern and went across 2N10 onto Plumbers (Skyline East). That one will get your ticker going and it's a riot to come back down.
