Bike for Bender- Hell Ride!

One awesome way to do this, and I've only done it once, but there is a bus that picks up at the Walmart in Highland. It costs $10 to take it all the way to Big Bear and they have a bike rack on the front of the bus. It wasn't made for a 29er, but it still fit. I spent the morning riding the lifts at Summit, then had a late lunch and rode back to Redlands down Seven Oaks and then the SART (I started the morning off by riding to Highland so I'd have no car to pickup).

Hmmm...sounds like I would need to find a room to sleep in, or a tent.

That sounds like a great adventure day! I've done similar but on a smaller scale, taking the bus up to Crafton, riding around, then riding back down to Redlands. But I guess then it's more of a motor sport!
 
Just 4 spots left on the Bike for Bender shuttle. If anyone still is looking for a ride and you'd like to support us, make sure to sign up soon, like today or maybe tomorrow.

Also, if anyone has connections to a company that may be able to donate to our raffle, or if anyone on here has something to donate, let me know. If I know by Friday I can still get the company's logo on the t-shirts. Thanks for everyone's support.

The idea of riding down to Redlands from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain at 9'952ft sounds pretty cool too, but the climb to the peak sounds pretty brutal to start the ride.

It is...just did it last weekend starting from Big Bear side. Dark to dark, 14 hour day....

BB to 7 Oaks would be much more doable in a reasonable time. To join Hell Ride just pedal up Seven Oaks Rd to South Fork.
 
Was going to self-shuttle, but will be working the check-in table which gets a spot on the bus. I don't mind the initial drive up, but going back up to get the car adds nearly two hours onto a loooooong day.
