Okay, so trying to make sure everyone understands we can't really have an imtbtrails club ride right now due to CV-19. So this is not a Social ride, and will not be at the normal club ride social pace. This means less stops and more pace. We WILL be doing this ride again later this year as an imtbtrails club ride with a social pace. I hope this helps.

Location: This could be up for grabs as well. Not sure how Snow Summit is handling their parking lot. So we may need to stay agile on trailhead parking.
Where we try to park. Up being North.

It doesn’t mean that some herd cannot break away from the wolf pack and slow it down to roses smelling pace though.

I assume that there will not be a socially distanced parking lot after party?

Of Course! Just trying to make sure people know what they are getting in to. Everybody is welcome! Always. Just nobody be disappointed if the peleton busts up! :whistling:

After Grub is possible, I "may" or may not have a cooler with some adult beverages... :rolleyes:

Ok here's the plan: As you head toward Big Bear on the 210, exit Foothill Blvd. I'll leave the garage open with my gear clustered neatly for pick up. Someone cause a ruckus by my side yard, and as the toddler and mamas go to see what is happening, burst into the house yelling anything foreign-sounding, throw a gunny sack over my head and carry me out while praising the deity of your choice....make sure you sound foreign, or else she'll know its the hooligans!

Okay, I get that.
Can the real plan be just tell her you are going to Big Bear with the Hooligan Homies to get in a day of strenuous R&R to relieve the stress of working though CV-19 challenges and you desperately need that therapy?

That could be arranged.

Nope. I [thankfully] still work 50-60 hours per week (except while typing here), and get paid 40 because I'm salary, so suck it anyone complaining about too much work...so Saturday mama kinda gets a break with my support because the Meegies do not clock out. This means I get to take them outside with the toddler on a bike and baby in a jogging stroller and Daddo on skates; I suffer, I know. I am happy to get a weekly few hours for myself (even though mama doesn't because she has the boobies). Finally, and this is a biggie, the group rides don't sit well with her, as conservative as she is (Fox News and the Disney Channel are the only things on TV downstairs on weekdays), because the virus is not partisan. Still, I think it would be interesting if every hooligan got it and took it home with them.

Hey I covered my basis, looks like Plan B... @Faust29 ? You're up!
 
I am going to be up on the mountain this weekend but I probably won't join in on your planned route. What I will likely do on Saturday is a Western Tour of the Skyline system- loop or two. Anyone interested is welcome to join in. I will make an effort to meet up with you guys before and or afterward, though. :)

I'm going to try to be up there, probably parking @ Radford intersection and bumping around the trails from there. If things go as planned I'll have two teenagers in tow. That's a feature and a bug all at the same time! I'll plan on just doing our own ride, but will hopefully coordinate enough to ride some of it with y'all!
